The Hours (Daldry, 2002) — 10 Years Later

Last updated on: March 1, 2015 at 8:48 pm By Kenneth R. Morefield

Stephen Daldry has been nominated for an Academy Award as Best Director three times, and has directed a fourth film that was nominated for Best Picture. Here's a quick challenge--before clicking on the "Read More" icon, see if you can name any of the others (besides The Hours). Read more

Antwone Fisher (Washington, 2002) — 10 Years Later

Last updated on: July 26, 2014 at 3:12 pm By Kenneth R. Morefield

Which brings me, roundabout, to Derek Luke. That it is Antwone's story means that Luke is the connecting tissue in each scene that works and the main reason the film is able to avoid some of the pitfalls that accompany a somewhat formulaic script. Read more

The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants (Kwapis, 2005)

Last updated on: March 1, 2015 at 8:51 pm By Kenneth R. Morefield

The acting is terrific. Amber Tamblyn is very, very good. America Ferrara is, quite simply, fabulous. Ferrara gave a knockout performance in Real Women Have Curves and backs it up here. I will gladly go see her next three movies without knowing anything about them other than that she is in them. Read more

Big Miracle (Kwapis, 2012)

Last updated on: August 1, 2014 at 5:08 pm By Kenneth R. Morefield

Big Miracle is the kind of film you dread getting assigned to write about as a film critic, you go to by yourself because none of your friends will join you, you growl through the first half, and then you walk out smiling and when a snickering colleague asks you how bad it was say somewhat sheepishly, "Actually, I kinda, sorta, enjoyed it."

Albert Nobbs (Garcia, 2011)

Last updated on: March 1, 2015 at 8:53 pm By Katherine Richards

In theory, Albert Nobbs is close to my idea of a perfect movie. In practice, however, it is the exact opposite. I have every reason to fall in love with the titular character, played by Glenn Close, and, yet, I didn’t even like him. Read more

About Schmidt (Payne, 2002) — 10 Years Later

Last updated on: March 1, 2015 at 8:41 pm By Kenneth R. Morefield

I am not sure what it says about Alexander Payne's tragicomedy that the first thing I thought of when reviewing that scene was that, beat for beat, it was the same joke and timing from the classic episode of The Simpsons where Homer survives eating what he momentarily thinks is a poison blowfish.

Red Tails (Hemingway, 2012)

Last updated on: March 1, 2015 at 8:43 pm By Kenneth R. Morefield

Red Tails is an earnest, straight forward, somewhat generic, but easily likable war-action movie that will probably be both overpraised and overcritized due to it being produced by George Lucas. Read more
