Reel Picks
Avatar (PG-13)
James Cameron's extravagant, almost three-hour envelope-pushing epic. Stunning special effects, humanoids, flying reptiles, and, oh yes, a plot.
Crazy Heart (R)
Jeff Bridges won the Oscar for his portrayal of Bad Blake, the four-times divorced, burnt-out, down-and-out former country western star who meets single mom, Jean (Maggie Gyllenhaal) and gets a chance at redemption. With Colin Farrell. Moves slowly along to a fine CW score.
Ghost Writer (PG-13)
Based on the Robert Harris bestseller, Roman Polanski's political thriller includes murder, sex, mystery, and international scandal. Ewan McGregor plays the ghostwriter of the memoirs of a former British prime minister (Pierce Brosnan) who's taken refuge in a Vineyard (filmed in Germany) beach house after being accused of war crimes. Fine cast.
Green Zone (R)
Action-drama set in Baghdad, 2003, during the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Army Chief Warrant Officer Roy Miller (Matt Damon) heads a unit seeking weapons of mass destruction, but soon becomes suspicious of the Pentagon's intelligence reports. Not that Washington intelligence agent Clark Poundstone (Greg Kinnear) seems to care. Things get nasty as Miller veers from his assignment.
The Hurt Locker (R)
Director Kathryn Bigelow's Oscar-winning film (best film, direction, script, sound, and film editing) earns its accolades with its nerve-wracking, unflinching view of the war in Iraq from the close-up perspective of an Army bomb disposal squad. Staff Sergeant James, (Jeremy Renner), a reckless new arrival with an insane relish for defying death, pushes everyone - audience included - to the brink.
Monsieur Verdoux (NR)
Special showing. A 1947 comedy-drama written by Orson Welles and Charlie Chaplin. The charming Monsieur Verdoux (Chaplin) marries wealthy women and murders them for the insurance money. It's just business. Subplots, ironies, and political commentary when he finally has to account for his actions.
She's Out of My League (R)
What's a little predictability, vulgarity, and embarrassing sequences when you've got charming characters and a lovable underdog? Event planner Molly (Alice Eve), a certified hottie, falls for sweet geek Kirk (Jay Baruchel), a Pittsburgh airport security agent burdened with insecurities and disgusting group of friends. Funny.
Shutter Island (R)
Combine a hospital for the criminally insane in an old fortress off Boston Harbor, an impending hurricane, an escaped murderer (filicide), patients running amok, hauntings, and every vestige of Gothic horror you can conjure, and you get Martin Scorsese's psychological horror. Nightmares and reality get confused as U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels's (Leonardo DiCaprio) own memories are summoned. You will cower in your seats.
