Sunshine Cleaning: A Cloudy Comedy
Critics may draw comparisons between this year's Sunshine Cleaning and 2007 Best Picture nominee Little Miss Sunshine. Both were Sundance darlings, both star the wonderful Alan Arkin, and both have optimistic-sounding titles. And despite each film's light-bright disposition, both skew closer to comedy of the darker sort.
Movie Preview: Management Gets a Trailer
When I think of Jennifer Aniston, things that immediately spring to mind include stuff like high-profile relationships (and breakups), really toned arms, nice tan, perfect hair. In other words, she can sometimes seem larger than life, and it's easy to forget that she can still play the "everyday gal" with the best of them.
I loved her in The Good Girl and really enjoyed her performances in Office Space and Friends with Money, which is why it's exciting to get a good look at Management, a movie in which she portrays a pretty average lady alongside Steve Zahn and Woody Harrelson.

First Look: Jennifer Aniston, Steve Zahn in Management
I remember when I first heard the casting news for the romantic comedy Management, and it seemed like an awesome idea to pair up the underrated (in my opinion) Steve Zahn with Jennifer Aniston. And ever since the movie earned some positive buzz after debuting at the Toronto International Film Festival, I've been anxious to see some footage.
Now we've got a clip from the movie, which is funny and gives me a better sense of the tone.

Movie Preview: Strange Wilderness With Steve Zahn and Jonah Hill
How many endearingly nerdy young men can you fit in one comedy about nature shows and not go into silliness overload?
I do believe Strange Wilderness addresses that question as Jonah Hill, Justin Long and Steve Zahn play guys whose nature show is getting terrible ratings (for reasons you'll understand if you watch the trailer). So the group ventures into the great unknown in search of Big Foot.
Aniston and Zahn Make Management

Movie Review: Rescue Dawn
The true story of Dieter Dengler is so astounding that director Werner Herzog felt compelled to tell it twice: first, in the 1997 documentary Little Dieter Needs to Fly and now in Rescue Dawn, a new movie starring Christian Bale as the German-born American pilot who escaped from a Laotian POW camp in 1965. The Vietnam War-era saga follows the soldier from his first mission, when he survives a plane crash only to be tortured and starved by Laotian soldiers before fleeing into the even more superhuman hardships of the jungle.
Best known lately for the 2005 documentary Grizzly Man, German director Werner Herzog is — to put it mildly — a very extreme director inclined to extreme film-making.
Movie Preview: Rescue Dawn
Based on a true story, Rescue Dawn tells the tale of U.S. fighter pilot Dieter Dengler (played by Christian Bale), a German-American whose plane is shot down in Laos during the Vietnam War. A captured POW, he managed to organize an incredible and risky escape for a group of fellow prisoners.
