It's not often that you'll find films as extremely opposite as the two main theatrical releases heading to home video this week. First up is the testosterone-pumping sci-fi action adventure reboot 'Predators,' starring Adrien Brody, Topher Grace, Alice...
This week, Fox announces one of their would-be summer blockbusters while still keeping a lid on dates for The A-Team and Knight and Day. Aside from those and the eagerly-awaited debut of Eclipse by the twi-tards, we're headed into July territory where we...
If what we have seen so far in 2010, the Best Actress race could be the most exciting we have seen in some time. (Certainly more exciting than the actors at the moment, in a nice change of pace.) You can cut off the deadline right now and fill out a list...
The screenplay race is always the most fun to speculate upon. Mostly because it is the one category where one of your favorite films of the year has a real shot at getting its single nomination; a little toss off to the year's best comedy, indie or twisty...

The film had an undertone of saddness that most people have and the characters expressed scene by scene. Real people with conflicting points of view... that eventually leads towards an emotioal resolution. Full Review
Deep drama about alot of subjects. Mainly guilt. Excellent cast. Remember the Aunt Meg character from the movie "Twister" played by Lois... ith. She has a nice role in "Please Give" too. New York City people might relate to characters better, that is where it was filmed. Full Review
Please skip! Great cast BUT very disappointing story (well actually no story!). Really wanted to like this movie but it goes nowhere. No depth. no... ason to watch. We left and said why did we bother go. So save you money and see something else. Full Review
I can see why reviewers love this movie. It lends itself to critical acclaim. For me, the viewing public, if one were in college and your English... eacher asked you to write an examination of "taking and giving," a simpler student might write "one person needs a kidney and another gives him their kidney." That certainly would cover the subject. However, if a more erudite student wrote the same precis, it might be this interesting, but not compelling story. It's as simple as that. A tale of giving and taking. Full Review
