The Kids Are All Right

The plot on this one didn't ring entirely true for me, but it did prove that gay couples struggle with the same problems with their teenagers as straight couples do.

Restrepo

This new film, based on the book by Sebastian Junger, is an amazing picture, and provides further proof of our need to get out of Afghanistan.

Winter's Bone

The critics raved about this film, and they were right. It's a real gem...my eyes never left the screen.

Cyrus

This one was such a dud that my sister, Pat, had to keep nudging me to keep me awake during the film. Not worth your time!

I Am Love

I rarely like slow-moving films that take their time setting the scene for more adventurous or violent moments to come. But I was comfortable watching this movie, which emphasized the lifestyle of wealthy Italians, especially beautiful women exhibiting their extraordinary clothes, homes and amenities.
