DATE: 2009-09-01 - DirectorDebra GranikStarsJennifer LawrenceJohn HawkesGarret DillahuntAn unflinching Ozark Mountain girl hacks through dangerous social terrain as she hunts down her drug-dealing father while trying to keep her family intact.Jennifer Lawrence performs superbly as Ree Dolly. Not a movie for the faint of heart.
DATE: 2010-07-27 - DirectorRoman PolanskiStarsEwan McGregorPierce BrosnanOlivia WilliamsA ghost writer, hired to complete the memoirs of a former British Prime Minister, uncovers secrets that put his own life in jeopardy.Slow mystery and not much about writing. Weak.
- DirectorRichard LinklaterStarsEthan HawkeJulie DelpyAndrea EckertA young man and woman meet on a train in Europe, and wind up spending one evening together in Vienna. Unfortunately, both know that this will probably be their only night together.Philosophy and Life in Boy meets Girl. Not near Mindwalk.
- DirectorM. CahillStarsMichael DouglasEvan Rachel WoodWillis Burks IIAn unstable dad who after getting out of a mental institution tries to convince his daughter that there's Spanish gold buried somewhere under suburbia.Excellent character by Michael Douglas, and enjoyable Evan Rachel Wood
- DirectorBrad AndersonStarsWoody HarrelsonEmily MortimerBen KingsleyA Transsiberian train journey from China to Moscow becomes a thrilling chase of deception and murder when an American couple encounters a mysterious pair of fellow travelers.Woody Harrelson isn't the right casting, but the gals play their parts well. Kate Mara from Shooter (2007).
DATE: 2010-08-01 - DirectorJoel CoenEthan CoenStarsJeff BridgesJohn GoodmanJulianne MooreJeff "The Dude" Lebowski, mistaken for a millionaire of the same name, seeks restitution for his ruined rug and enlists his bowling buddies to help get it.No redeeming value. Magnolia-like w/o good music, acting passion, etc.

Perhaps only Dr. Shivago rivals the scenery in Dersu Uzala.

Hard to follow the story at times, but overall well done.
DATE: 2010-10-31 - DirectorShane CarruthStarsShane CarruthDavid SullivanCasey GoodenFour friends/fledgling entrepreneurs, knowing that there's something bigger and more innovative than the different error-checking devices they've built, wrestle over their new invention.
