Director Clint Eastwood has created something that feels so emotionally true is a tribute to him and a cast of a very rare brilliance.
We're in a suburb of LA, and its March 1928. Christine is a telephone supervisor on rollerskates. A pair of blood red lips announce Angelina Jolie as Christine, lipstick is very 20's, but on Jolie it also looks like a marker of trouble.
Alone she has raised son Walter 9, until the day he disappears. The police are worse than useless. Then a boy is returned to her, the police insist its her son, but she knows its not.
When she refuses to bend to th police, she is placed into a mental hospital.
Running parallel to Collins tragedy is the story of paedophile serial killer Gordon Northcott.
With a stealth unusual i modern directors, Eastwood merges the two narratives through the testimony of various boys who escaped Northcott's ranch, and one decent, alert detective. *

REVIEW
He proved he could do subtle comedy in Meet The Parents, but here Robert De Niro's willing to clown it up as Ben, an ageing A-list schmoozing movie producer.
A top-drawer cast joins him - Bruce Willis, Sean Penn, playing themselves, John Turturro and Robin Wright-Penn.
The film cover 2 weeks in Ben's life as he juggles the demands of Hollywood egos, ex-wives, teen daughters, all washed down with espresso and Red Bull.
It opens with a sleek ensemble of Hollywood muscle at the preview of Fiercely, Ben's latest project, starring Sean Penn.
But when the preview audience expresses disgust at the film's ending, Ben's in no doubt he's in big doo doo.
As his future becomes more uncertain he attempts damage control while clinging to the comfort of his past, the ex-wife he still loves, even the old sofa that needs recovering.
The film is based on the memoirs of Art Linson, the real life producer of Heat, Fight Club and This Boys Life. *

REVIEW
Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn play a pair of unwed lovebirds who've dodged spending Christmas with their clans for years by taking foreign holidays.
But this year a thick San Francisco fog puts paid to their plans. Then a TV crew films them live at the airport so their folks know they're not abroad.
They have no choice but to pay festive visits to their four families, four because of remarriages both sides.
Well you can imagine. Vaughn's Brad, has a pair of psychotic brothers, and Witherspoon's Kate gets to beat up loads of brats in a bouncy castle.
Director Seth Gordon's debut feature is a mutant meringue of a movie, wit the sugar icing oddly squashed beneath the bitter lemon filling curdling on top. The result being, an unpleasant goo thats neither sweet nor sour. *

REVIEW
This is a film in which Kate Winslet persuades any doubters of her extraordinary gift.
She plays 36 yr old severe uptight, German woman Hanna whose act of kindness to a 15 yr old boy leads to a passionate affair.
She nurses a terrible secret and one lodged in Germany's history.
Equalling her need for love and intimacy, Hanna craves to be read to, and her reader is her boy lover Michael Berg.
Before s*x he reads her The Odyssey, Huckleberry Finn, Lady Chatterley's lover and other works.
As he reads her face transforms from drawn tension to dreamy rapture, as if nightmares are shooed away.
Hanna and Michael represent old and new Germany, one infected by sm, the other trying to come to terms with the nation's criminal past.
When years later, as a law student, Michael attends Hanna's trial for war crimes, he is devastated.
Winslet ages credibly over 3 decades, Ralph Fiennes adequately plays out his part as the adult Michael.
A serious, reflective film, with much subtlety at its heart. *

REVIEW
Anne Hathaway plays ex-model Kym who's out of rehab to attend her sister Rachel's wedding at their family home.
Kym does nothing right. She smokes in the house, she falls over chairs, she was the cause of a family tragedy, she's a whole flock of black sheep stampeding towards the next disaster.
That of course is the point. In spite of her awfulness she's embraced once again by her family and friends.
Peace however is fragile. Just below the surface holds, resentments and unresolved issues are festering nicely, ready to erupt at any time.
Between moments of planning and partying, we see another side of sweet Rachel, hungary both for her fathers attention and flight from the family.
In all, it all seems a little forced, emotions regimented by therapy speak and too much political correctness.
Hell can be other people's families! *

I thought the Thompson Twins were identical. Pegg and Frost dont look anything like each other. Simon would be better with Martin Freeman. *
