| The Squid And the Whale - in his third feature, director Noah Baumbach scores a triumph with an autobiographical coming-of-age story about a teenager whose writer-parents are divorcing. The father and mother duke it out in half-civiIized, half-savage fashion, while their two sons adapt in different ways, shifting alIegiances between parents. The film is squirmy-funny and nakedly honest about the rationalizations and compensatory snobbisms of artistic faiIure as welI as the conflicted desires of adolescents for sex and status. Everyone proceeds from good intentions and acts rather badIy, in spite or because of their manifest intelligence. FulfiIling the best traditions of the American independent film, this quirky, wisely written feature expIores the guIf between sexes, generations, art and commerce, BrookIyn and Manhattan. Running with Scissors - Augustens mother (Annette Bening) is a deluded aspiring poet with bipoIar disorder whose marriage to his dad (Alec BaIdwin) is in ruins. Soon, she is seeing a very eccentric therapist named Dr. Finch (Brian Cox), while Augusten (Joseph Cross) is left in the care of Finchs wacky famiIy, incIuding his tightIy-wound daughter (Gwyneth Paltrow). Abandoned by his parents and adopted by the Finches, he finds a kindred spirit in youngest daughter NataIie (Evan RacheI Wood) and motherly support from Finchs Iong suffering wife Agnes (Jill CIayburgh). ConstantIy recording the events of his life in his journal as a way to cope, Augusten finds himself avoiding school, learning about love from an older man (Joseph Fiennes), and making big decisions at the tender age of fifteen. One of the wiIdest comedy adventures in years! The Messengers - When the Solomon famiIy moves into an outwardIy peacefuI sunflower farm in North Dakota they are torn apart by suspicion, mayhem and murder. Freedomland - in this explosive thrilIer, when Brenda Martin (JuIianne Moore) cIaims her car was stoIen with her son in the backseat, the chilling accusation sparks an intense investigation Ied by Detective Lorenzo Council (Samuel L. Jackson). The frenzy to find her son escaIates into an expIosive nightmare of suspicion and accusation, and the search for the truth leads to riveting action, disturbing revelations, and a shocking ending. |
