Rendition (2007)

The movie trailer has the feel that it was written by a community college student who is taking their first Politics and Society class and wants to tell everybody how awful America is.

“America sends people over seas to be tortured! Did you know that!?”
“Yeah. Actually, I told you about it three years ago. Its called rendition.”
“I know! America does that. Whatcha call it?”
“Rendition.”
“…We’re at war with Iraq because of oil! Did you know that?”

Its one thing to have a preachy movie. Its another to have a self righteous movie telling you exactly what you already know-like “All Dogs Go To Heaven”.

Now aside from the movie being a steaming pile of “Let’s Get Outraged About Something At The Movie Theatre And Then Go Have Dinner At Olive Garden”, you’ve also got to hand it to Reese Witherspoon to raise the bar of Unwatchability so thoroughly.

Obviously, Meryl Streep didn’t have time to sit the young actress down and give her the first rule of good acting. “Whisper everything.”

I want to be fair. I don’t think that any A list actress, not even Anne Hathaway herself could deliver with any dignity the line: “Just tell me he’s okay!!!!!!”

I can’t wait until the sequel “Sleeper Cell” starring Reese Witherspoon and tackling the difficult and politically charged topic of stem cell research comes out. Reese Witherspoon’s Handsome Arab Husband will get Parkinson’s and Meryl Streep, reprising her role as an asshole Neo-Con, will deny him the ability to use undifferentiated embryonic cells to do research on. It will get me so outraged!

In the Valley of Elah (2007)

In the Valley of Elah is a story about retired military sergeant (Tommy Lee Jones) trying to find his missing soldier youngest son - Mike, played by Jonathan Tucker (The Black Donnellys). Mike dissapeared after coming back from Iraq and though he is the kind of kid that calls his parents, he didn't tell them that he was back in the US.

This movie connects the viewers to the distress mind state of the soldiers in Iraq. A some what a justification that the sufferings that the Iraqians received (still receiving) in Iraq radiates to the mind of the soldiers. With the American having to ship out soldiers to Iraq, they accepted anybody who has no felony record (eventhough they have crime records) though these soldiers are still young, and not mentally ready to face what is in Iraq.

The Iraq phenomena has seen a lot of perspectives conjured up by Hollywood. While most of the movies concentrate on the actions and how powerful the Americans are and how supposedly how all Muslims support terrorism, this movie showed the psychological effects of these young soldiers. The psychological "aftermath" and how it affected them in their lives.

Lust, Caution (2007)

Although Ang Lee’s “Lust, Caution” is only now going into wide release in the United States, much has already been said about the prestigious director’s latest film. Predictably, most of the fleeting attention has flown to the very graphic sex scenes, despite the fact that they don’t occur for quite a while, and on the whole, don’t add up to a great deal of the film’s 157 minute running time. More astute observers have covered even that fact. What hasn’t been said so loudly and so often is that “Lust, Caution” is most effective as a meditative tale of the personal cost of life as a female spy (Tang Wei). But this is not an NC-17 rated James Bond movie. True to Ang Lee’s previous filmography of angst-ridden stories of feminine despair (“Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”, “The Ice Storm”), this entry unravels its protagonist in the most elegant of settings, in a telling so fused with dignity, you can practically see his collection of past awards just off-frame. The trouble this time is that Lee, apparently cashing in his obligatory post-“Brokeback” ticket to do whatever he wants, seems completely absorbed in his own hype. In that sense, it could be thought of as Ang Lee’s “Gangs of New York” or “The Serpent’s Egg”.

Michael Clayton (2007)

Michael Clayton (George Clooney) is an in-house “fixer” at one of the largest corporate law firms in New York. A former criminal prosecutor, Clayton takes care of Kenner, Bach & Ledeen’s dirtiest work at the behest of the firm’s co-founder Marty Bach (Sydney Pollack). Though burned out and hardly content with his job as a fixer, his divorce, a failed business venture and mounting debt have left Clayton inextricably tied to the firm.

At U/North, meanwhile, the career of litigator Karen Crowder (Tilda Swinton) rests on the multi-million dollar settlement of a class action suit that Clayton’s firm is leading to a seemingly successful conclusion. But when Kenner Bach’s brilliant and guilt-ridden attorney Arthur Edens (Tom Wilkinson) sabotages the U/North case, Clayton faces the biggest challenge of his career and his life.

American Gangster (2007)

Ridley Scott, it seems, is not only an inspiration to film school students but world renowned rappers as well. On Nov. 6th Jay-Z's tenth album will be released sharing the same name as the major motion picture, "American Gangster". As well as being inspired by the movie Jay-Z also inserts snippets of dialogue from the movie itself into several of his songs.

Over the course of the weekend, husbands and wives take a hard look at their lives, wrestling with issues of commitment, betrayal and forgiveness as they seek a way forward.

The Brave One (2007)

In “the brave one” the beautiful and magnificent Jodie Foster plays Erica Bain, an NYC radio-host with a passion for her city. Bain records everyday sounds in all parts of the big apple and plays them for her audience accompanied by anecdotes of NYC’s history. Bain and her fiancee are about to get married, but during a romantic evening-walk through central park disaster strikes and Bain changes into what she calls “the other person that had always lived in her but which she had never known about”. Erica becomes a victim of fear, something she thought only happened to weaker people. Getting no help from the authorities, she buys a gun and takes matters into her own hands.

“The brave one” is probably one of the best movies I’ve seen in a while. Jodie Foster was, is and will always remain a fantastic actress, New York is a great setting for this type of movies and I just love the “urban” feel you get from viewing movies like this. I’m not quite sure if this movie is giving NYC the credit it deserves. For years and years it has been depicted in almost every single movie as a dangerous, asocial town you better avoid if you don’t really have to be there. Having been to this glorious city for the first time only a bit over a month ago, I know better. I’ve never felt as much at home as I did in NYC. I ignored stoplights, got irritated over people wearing “I (l) NY” shirts (I don’t like tourists, even though I always am one in some way), and have never met that many friendly people in a city.

Told in three parts from three unique perspectives by three visionary directors, "The Signal" was originally conceived as an experimental film project called "Exquisite Corpse" where one filmmaker would begin a story then hand it off to another filmmaker to continue and then to another and so on until the movie was complete.

Charlie Bartlett (2008)

Among the classic high-school rebels of American movies, there have been truants, delinquents, pranksters and con artists – but there has never been anyone quite like Charlie Bartlett. An optimist, a truth-teller and a fearless schemer, when Charlie slyly positions himself as his new school's resident "psychiatrist," dishing out both honest advice and powerful prescriptions, he has no idea the ways in which he will transform his classmates, the school principal and the potential of his own life.

This is the premise of the provocative, Prozac-era comedy, "Charlie Bartlett," in which a wealthy teenager's foray into bathroom-stall psychiatry becomes a smart, funny and touching one-man battle against the loneliness, angst and hypocrisy of the modern world.

Anton Yelchin ("Alpha Dog") stars as Charlie Bartlett, who has been kicked out of every private school he ever attended. And now that he's moved on to public school, he's simply getting pummeled. But when Charlie discovers that the kids who surround him – the outcast and the popular alike – are secretly in desperate need, his entrepreneurial spirit takes over. Hanging up his shingle in the Boys' restroom, Charlie becomes an underground, not to mention under-aged, shrink who listens to the private confessions of his schoolmates, and makes the imprudent decision to hand out the pills he's proffered from his own psychiatric sessions. Meanwhile, at home, Charlie keeps charming his way out of an inevitable confrontation with his adoring but utterly overwhelmed mother Marilyn (Hope Davis.)

Then, Charlie Bartlett makes his big mistake: falling in love with the beautiful and bold daughter (Kat Dennings) of the school's increasingly disenchanted Principal (Robert Downey, Jr.), who is hot on his trail. As Charlie Bartlett's world and fledgling psychiatric practice unravel, he begins to discover there's a whole lot more to making a difference than handing out pills.
