Movie Preview: Robert De Niro in Everybody's Fine
I kind of love every movie about grown children going home to their parents — Home for the Holidays, Junebug, The Family Stone. There's just so much fodder for humor and emotion.
But in Everybody's Fine, none of Robert De Niro's grown children go home to visit him, sending him on a journey to visit each one of his offspring.
2009 Tribeca Film Festival Spotlight: Moon
I've been perusing the long list of interesting-looking movies scheduled for this year's Tribeca Film Festival, which starts this week. Some of them, like Moon, are already earning buzz, and I'm anxious to find out what festivalgoers think once they've screened.
Starring Sam Rockwell, Moon is the directorial debut of David Bowie's son, Duncan Jones.

Frost/Nixon: A Solid and Entertaining Talkathon
Doubt and Frost/Nixon have a lot in common: Both are stage-to-screen adaptations, both are receiving a lot of awards buzz, and neither has a particularly compelling visual story to tell. Instead, the drama lies in the words people are saying. I've heard both of these movies referred to as "grown-up" cinema, which is probably apt given that it takes a pretty mature attention span to fully appreciate them.
Movie Preview: Ron Howard's Frost/Nixon
"There's a reason they called him Tricky Dick."
The international trailer for the new Ron Howard movie, Frost/Nixon, has arrived and from what I can tell it looks pretty amazing. Based on the well-received play of the same title by Peter Morgan (the same man who wrote the script for The Queen), the movie chronicles the true story of a series of televised interviews Nixon gave to British journalist David Frost in 1977.
Movie Preview: Choke
Hey, all you fans of Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk — the trailer from the movie adaptation of his fourth book Choke is tonally what one might expect from him: quite dark and post-modern in its despair, with an odd, social outcast as the main character. Oh, and funny, of course. Also, just like Fight Club, there are group therapy scenes as this character is a bit of a sex addict.
Joshua: Eerie Little Family Drama
Watching Joshua, I was struck with the sense of no longer being in this time period — even though the movie is set in present day Manhattan. There's something old-fashioned, slow-building and just-under-the-surface eerie about the film, and in that way it differs from your average mainstream thriller. Not much happens, and the gradual building of suspense requires quite a bit of patience.
Movie Preview: Joshua
Personally, I think there are few things creepier than little kids acting all spooky. Maybe it's because I think of kids as being loud and energetic, so when they dress like little businessmen and look at me with that solemn, unblinking gaze, it gives me the chills.
Such is the case in Joshua, a thriller that earned much acclaim earlier this year at Sundance.
