Rabbit Hole (David Lindsay-Abair)

This (Melissa James Gibson)

Time Stands Still (Donald Margulies)

The Witch of Edmonton

Somewhere (S Copolla)

Schola Cantorum

Casino Jack (George Hickenlooper)

Those who enjoyed watching Jack Abramoff, Tom Delay, & Bob Ney crash, will delight in this fictionalized version. Though it gets a bit heavy handed in its depiction of the two Congressmen, it does provide a somewhat sympathetic portrayal of Abramoff.

Recommend.

John Gabriel Borkman (Henrik Ibsen)

Black Swan (D Aronofsky)

Silly.

Do not recommend.

The King's Speech (Tom Hooper)

With its depiction of clinch-jawed perseverance and triumph over an embarrassing impediment, it's easy to see why this film has been a real crowd pleaser--and because we saw it in a filled theatre that seems to continue to hold true month after its release. Held together by a tight script and excellent performances by Firth, Rush and (plumped up) Bonham-Carter, the film celebrated (if that's not too exuberant a word) determination and duty, while rejecting Hollywood's default crowd-pleasers, violence (seen only through newsreels of Hitler) and sex (through which Wallis Simpson emasculated the Prince of Wales/King Edward VIII).
In addition to peeking into the intimate trials of George VI, the film suggests an explanation for Elizabeth II's stoicism: throughout the film, a young Elizabeth and her sister quietly observe their father's acceptance of dutiful leadership. Surely, the film seems to argue, that would have formed her in ways hard to shake.

Recommend.

I Love You Phillip Morris

Voyage of the Dawn Treader: Chronicles of Narnia

New York Abstract Expressionists (MOMA)

The Fighter

Fantastic performances, especially by Christian Bale and Melissa Leo. I loved the Greek chorus effect of the seven sisters.

Highly recommend.
