Don't expect a replay of the romance between Kate Winslett and Leonardo DiCaprio in "Revolutionary Road."  Sure they reunite, but in this story they play a deeply unhappy suburban couple in the 1950's.  She comes up with the dream of selling everything and moving to Paris.  He says yes, but then waffles …

Mickey Rourke makes a dramatic come back as a down on his luck, over the hill wrestler, alone and unable to do anything else.  The movie has a documentary feel as it follows Rourke's isolated life. Characters include an estranged daughter and a stripper played by Marisa Tomei.  I can't say you will find this …

A presumed dead cop stalks a dark graphic comic style city as a masked vigilante.  The director (Frank Miller) created "Sin City".  No surprise since "The Spirit" looks like a "Sin City" sequel.  The plot goes from complicated to convoluted to what the heck is …

Abandoned on the steps of a New Orleans home for the elderly, Benjamin Button fits right in---a baby with the tiny body of an 80 year old, he gradually grows younger and experiences life backwards.  Brad Pitt really gives a grand performance and I think moves from super star to mega star---as he gets younger and younger he …

Seven Pounds begins by letting us know Will Smith has done something for which he wants to atone.  The movie steadfastly refuses to reveal Will's secret, which most likely will leave fans wondering just what's going on for most of the running time.  All we know is Will finds seven people to help and meets them …

Jim Carrey turns from lonely guy to Yes man after taking one of those only in the movies seminars.  Once he opens up, he experiences life and connects with Zooey Deschanel, who in my opinion lights up every movie she makes.  Comedy bits include Red B ull, bar room scenes, Harry Potter costume parties …
