California has the most difficult bar exam [Massachusetts and New York are not far behind in complexity] and also has the lowest pass rate. Makes me wonder about a high school friend who applied to 25 law schools and only got in to UC San Diego.
Eric Chaikin [Word Wars] directs this fascinating film that has two directions but works well. It highlights the humor, power, wealth, ego, audacity, competitiveness, distain and sometimes absurdity associated legal profession. From the outrageous claims [the multi-million settlement for a hot coffee spill] to the more realistic torts [death from Vioxx]. The film is peppered with insightful commentary with high-profile attorneys such as writer/attorney Scott Turow, Clinton advisor Vernon Jordan, OJ Dream team-ers Alan Dershowitz and Robert Shapiro and Court TV tiger, Vioxx uber-lawyer Mark Lanier [who is very funny and down-to-earth]. There are plenty of laughs and information to make the documentary provocative.
A Lawyer Walks into a Bar also delves into the fears, intense pressure and process of preparing for the California bar exam as it follows six very different candidates for ten weeks. There’s the older guy [a 1980 law school graduate and social worker] who has taken the exam 41 times. He’s a Vietnam veteran and you just want him to pass. There’s the blonde, part-Native American enthusiastic future lawyer/actress, who seems to get into the process too late. The film shows her partying and doing everything but study as everyone else has noses to the grindstone. There’s Megan, a hyper-sensitive, neurotic artistic, earthy girl who goes to a hypnotherapist at one point. Megan wants to help people but recognizes the realities of school loans and the need to go corporate to pay them off. There’s Sam, the affable and seemingly subdued guy who just doesn’t “test well” [he’s taking the for the second time]. There’s an annoying Duke-graduate with the four year old son and artist boyfriend/fiancé. She seems self-absorbed but by the end you understand her goals. She has already been hired by a large firm; she needs to pass the bar to keep the exam. And finally, there’s the older Mexican-American single mother who graduated from the Peoples College of Law, a school which provides an alternative approach to law (to say the least). She wants to be a tenant lawyer, representing the downtrodden.
Even if you are not a lawyer [like my step father] or law student [I bombed on the LSAT] or do not know one, A Lawyer Walks into a Bar sheds light on one of the oldest and most lucrative professions. It may make you think again before telling that lawyer joke again. Lawyers and litigation are an integral component of our society.

Love, love this distinctive fantasy about what Jane Austen’s life may have been like. In the fictionalized biopic about a young Jane Austen, Becoming Jane imagines what influenced her charming, insightful, witty feminist writings. Who influenced the characters in her book? How could she imagine heartache, the pressures of making a good marriage and the financial woes that unfortunately guided many decisions in women’s lives in the 19th century, without the experiences herself.
A writer, like me, cherishes this type of film. It shows the tedium of writing, along with the creativity and sparks. For this alone, Becoming Jane, is a wonderful literary film. Writing seems such an independent and fabulous profession but its reality looks bleaker in the light of day. Loneliness, isolation and repetition keep every writer company at some point. Jane seems to write herself into her novels and why not? Every writer dreams of living within the pages of a well-crafted, thoughtful book.
As Jane, Anne Hathaway [The Devil Wears Prada] is equal parts independent, outspoken and hopeless romantic. She has intense, expressive eyes and really pushes herself in this role. As her love interest, Tom Lefroy, James McAvoy [the current go-to art film heartthrob] combines the character’s mischevious side with an earnest one. He loves Jane but she knows that neither of them can go through with it. Jane yearns for a room of her own and to “live by her pen” even more [gasp!] than to have a real love in her life. That’s just the most practical thing for this willful, talented woman. As the world knows, she never married but wrote six successful novels including Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility and Emma. All have been made into films several times over.

When divorce attorney, Robert (Patrick Dempsey) remarks his logical engagement is not like that of a feuding couple in his office: “those people got married on a crazy romantic whim” it sets the tone of Enchanted right away. It’s not going to be one of those movies. Instead, it’s a treasure and welcome surprise. For this past year, Waitress is another winner in that respect. Giselle (Amy Adams), a princess from a magical land where chipmunks talk and animals do the cleaning and deliver messages, finds herself catapulted into Times Square. An oblivious and adorable Prince Edward bandies his sword with bravado while he searches for Giselle (“I seek a beautiful girl. My one coquette. The answer to my love’s duet.”).
At first Giselle is wide-eyed and trusting and slowly she starts to question her notions of happily ever after. Amy Adams delights and shines. If you didn’t notice her sparkle in Junebug, you’ll surely be charmed here. Go-to romantic comedy guy James Marsden. No Disney film is complete without poison (here disguised in every urban manner imaginable– an apple martini, a caramel apple), a wicked witch (a marvelous Susan Sarandon, reminiscent of Michelle Pfeiffer in Stardust) and expansive dance productions—here tongue-in-cheek yet colorful and sincere and yes, catchy.
Questioning the dated aspects of typical Disney heroines and presenting a strong, independent woman with choices makes all the difference in the world. A witty script, divine casting and the animated, without being cartoonish, acting fuels this film. Enchanted is smart, whimsical, funny and totally winning.
Extras: standard and unremarkable–deleted scenes, bloopers and a behind-the-scenes featurette “Fantasy Comes to Life”

For the handful of people who never read The Kite Runner, to explain its appeal– it’s an amazing story about friendship and redemption. In the late 70s in Afghanistan, as young boys, Amir is best friends with Hassan, the son of his family’s groundskeeper/servant. Hassan’s father is wealthy, educated, cosmopolitan and politically outspoken (anti-Communist). Amir gets top education and experiences.
Although the class differences cause some disparity in the relationship, the boys spend an enormous amount of time together (unless Hassan is doing work and Amir is writing stories). Hassan admires Amir and will do anything for him. It’s actually heart wrenching when Hassan tells Amir: “If you tell me to eat dirt, I will. But I know you won’t ask me.” One rather fateful day under a cloudless blue sky, a violent, disgusting event tears the boys apart. Young Amir (Zekeria Ebrahimi) and young Hassan (Ahmad Khan Mahmidzada), depicting members of different Afghani tribes, required protection in the United Arab Emirates when the film came out. They do a remarkable job with complicated subject matter. Their performances resonate with affection, loyalty, fear, pride and shame.
After the Soviet invasion in 1979, Amir and his father escape to Pakistan and later to the United States. The Taliban soon takes over and Amir has never returned to his native country. He’s recently published a book and gotten married. He gets a call for help that takes him back to the last place he ever expected to go: Kabul. This is Amir’s chance to “be good again.” Despite the danger he encounters, Amir is determined to repair his damaged heart and replace guilt with hope.
Directed by Marc Forster (Monster’s Ball), The Kite Runner is a touching film. It does not delve into the special bond between the boys as well as the book, but that’s a near impossible feat. The lyrical book made me cry and I never wanted it to end. This film is much slower and less intense. Sometimes words are more powerful than images. Such is the case for The Kite Runner.

One of the guys in Stop Loss, just back from Iraq and out drinking with some friends says what many Americans are probably thinking: “All we need to do is drop a bomb instead of this urban combat bullshit.” Stop Loss tries very hard to show all the emotional distress this war has caused for those fighting and those at home.
The film opens in Iraq with an attack on a check point, a chase, and guns, bombs and blood… The frenzied cameras, gritty cinematography provide the adrenaline and also serve to provide the background story for the main characters in Stop Loss. The boys are soon home for a leave. Back in Texas where a parade welcomes them home.
Brandon [introspective and handsome, without being a pretty boy Ryan Phillippe] receives a purple heart. He’s happy because he’s out. He’s been the squad sergeant and everyone looks to him to lead the group and keep everyone on target and together. He served his duty and did his job. He went to Iraq after 9/11 for all the right reasons and now he’s disillusioned by the carnage he’s witnessed in the Middle East. After being told of his stop loss order, Brandon soon goes AWOL with the foolish plan to visit a U.S. Senator who told him to “drop by Washington if you ever need anything.” The themes of this film can only work in a state like Texas where so many are invoved in the military. In Massachusetts, for instance, there are no parades. Tommy (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) drinks a lot and cries quite a bit but desperately wants to stay in the military, despite his conflicted thoughts. And Steve (Channing Tatum) is the Hoo-rah, all or nothing, lifer. Although he has a quick flip out when he gets back where he fights with his girlfriend Michelle (Abbie Cornish) and digs a foxhole and spends the night in it fully armed and in his underwear. The three boys are the id, ego and superego for the war in Iraq. Tommy is the id, Steve is the ego and Brandon is the superego. Each guy’s story could really be a separate film.
It’s complicated and innerving to return from a war where when you left you knew, beyond a doubt, why you were fighting and for what and for whom. On return to have that sense of purpose flipped on its side must be devastating. There is little explanation for our involvement in Iraq at this point. The fighting is not being done to protect Americans but to keep a region stable that we made unstable. It’s really a tragedy that some many troops are dying for this.
By addressing Stop Loss, writer/director Kimberly Peirce [Boys Don’t Cry] who has a brother serving in Iraq, draws attention to a little known war time occurrence. As there is no draft in the United States (as long as John McCain does not win the election), by executive order, soldiers can be Stop Loss. This means that they can be sent back for additional tours of duty. More than they had originally planned on. In Stop Loss, Peirce tends toward being too ambitious in showing every possible angle imaginable (including an upbeat blind amputee at a Veteran’s hospital—one of the squad Brandon led). This diffuses the issues and concerns instead of making them powerful moments in the film.
Unfortunately the film attempts to tackles too many war-related themes and it causes confusion and disparity and makes the film wander. Trip to the military hospital and then the scene where someone who has been dishonorably discharged and commits suicide gets a full military funeral. I don’t think so. The bold imagery provides an emotional connection but it just does not fit. I know why, as a filmmaker, Peirce chose certain scenes. She wanted to tell the story of the war from all possible angles and in doing so needed these powerful images of coffins and pomp and military bravado. Surely Peirce means well and I wanted to cry and really love this film.
Stop Loss delves into the psyches of those involved in war and also provides mediation on the war’s effects both physically and mentally on those directly and indirectly involved. Unfortunately the film lacks levity and depth to make it truly memorable and relevant. I wanted to be able to tell everyone to run out and see it in the theater but I can’t. It’s well worth putting in your Netflix queue and that’s unfortunate because Peirce is a heartfelt talented filmmaker and there certainly are stories to tell about Iraq that focus on humanity.

Not sure why I would think that a film called Baby Mama would be thoughtfully entertaining. I don’t know. I guess I was under the impression that Tina Fey is smart and witty (maybe she’s just best working her own material in television time) and BC graduate Amy Poehler can add a savvy spin to material. Baby Mama is written and directed by a dude, another SNL alum, Michael McCullers. The film has a few chuckles but quickly steers itself straight into the safe funny zone. The stereotypically safe funny zone.
You know women single and over 35 must be super successful “career women” and have given up on any sort of social life. All women want children. The whole infertility thing is just hysterical and so is pregnancy and giving birth, while we think of it. The jokes are so tired. And you’ve seen them before. I’m not a major fan of 30 Rock but I’ve enjoyed some of the episodes and thought Tina Fey might be a little different. She does make the successful single woman stylish at times on that show. Though even there you see the jokes from Alec Baldwin about her being a lesbian because she’s wearing pants or how she’s pathetic because she’s over 30 and single. Oh, it’s OVER honey.
I like to think that I’ve been picky. I have a brain. I have a heart. I use both in making my decisions. I have never had any male friends say that they don’t expect to meet anyone or that they’ve “given up on dating.” No, it’s only my girlfriends who have careers. Not everyone needs to be part of a couple or to have a family to be considered successful. Oh, I’m joking. Of course you have to check all those things off your list or you’re a real loser. Who doesn’t know that? I spend enough time in therapy. And I’m being so sarcastic, in case you didn’t figure it out. Yet sadly our American society does think that these are the things a woman must do– the career, marriage and family or there’s just something off, something wrong.
Kate Holbrook (Fey) wakes up one day and starts seeing babies everywhere and guess what? She realizes she wants one. And now. She is 37! So screw the whole finding a partner thing, she’s doing it solo. Unfortunately her doctor doesn’t “like” her uterus. Kate is an executive at a Whole Foods-style organic market in Philly. But she’s moving up the fast track to Vice-President of Development and been assigned the task to oversee the building of a flagship store. Kate decides to pay an exorbitant amount of money to a blue collar surrogate (Poehler) with a deadbeat boyfriend (Dax Shephard). Laughs ensue when Angie has problems with her boyfriend and moves in with Kate. Oh, an odd couple for the ages. This might have been amusing 20 years ago. It is just that dated and tired. The girl from the wrong side of the tracks finds herself in the enviable position of being able to sample the life she could have had. And the upwardly mobile single girl learns to loosen up her uptight ways and let her hair down. To Poehler’s credit she does not make Angie a complete caricature but fleshes her out to have a brain in the bleached blonde head.
Along the way, Kate meets Rob (Greg Kinnear), a local juice store owner/ex-lawyer. Cue in the obvious jokes about organic food, vegetarianism. It just is too good to have any flavor. Rob and Kate go on a first date to a raw food restaurant and the food is completely out there and unappealing which is so unrealistic. They end up getting cheese steaks at a street stand because being vegetarian just is not cool. Slapstick doesn’t suit him. Kinnear is the smart girl’s funny guy and slapstick doesn’t suit him. He belongs in a more sophisticated comedy. In an understated, easy going role, Steve Martin plays the new agey boss (he rewards employees with “five minutes of uninterrupted eye contact). Kate also has the black doorman/buddy (sexy Romany Malco from Weeds). She has to get a hip factor from someone.
Baby Mama has sight gag after sight gag—the bullet shaped sperm container, peeing in a toilet, “clubbing” in just plain 80s trashtastic outfits, not to mention all the moments in the birthing class and at the obstetrician’s office. Of course it’s written and directed by a dude.
So for Fey to think that this would be the perfect comedy to do with Poehler, is so unoriginal and so disappointing. Was it the easiest thing to do? To turn a SNL skit into a 90-minute film? To make obvious jokes about getting pregnant, infertility, being single, organic food? It’s 2008 and women apparently still cannot have it all Maybe Chelsea Handler needs to write a film. She’s definitely not apologetic about being single and not wanting children and having sex and having fun. I respect her for that.
In the Apatow-effect of filmmaking, we have the crude-ish jokes, the anti-feminist undertones and what on reflection to me seems like sheer distaste for even being a woman. It’s just not funny. Which means it’s going to do well at the box office. The general movie-going public is not all that bright. There are some ridiculous plot twists and a super tidy ending. I know going to the movies is an escape but the best escapes are also rooted in reality. You know you could maybe be in that moment. It’s a possibility. If you cannot relate to some aspect of a film, then the film has not done its job.
If you’ve seen the trailer, you’ve seen the film. Save your $10.00. I’ve just spent more time writing this review than enjoying Baby Mama.

Transsiberian
(narrative feature)
Kill off all my demons Roy and my angels might die too.
Written and directed by Brad Anderson (Next Stop Wonderland), Transsiberian is a fantastic thriller in an unusual setting–the Transsiberian railroad. Interestingly, after the film’s screening, Anderson said that he studied Russian and Russian history in college and had traveled on the railroad in the 80s.
Jess (Mortimer) and Roy (Harrelson) are doing volunteer work in China at the beginning of the film. Deciding they need an adventure, they decide to take the Transsiberian train from China to Moscow. The trip turns out to be more of a nightmare than an adventure when their paths cross with drug dealers. Ben Kingsley is creepy and powerful in his enigmatic role.. Mortimer does an impressive job in her role as the American traveler in the midst of some major drama. There are twists and turns aplenty in this solid thriller. Anderson also weaves in beautiful shots of the snowy never-ending woods and train stations. Trains make wonderful setting for thrillers. It’s moving for one thing. Once you get on, you cannot get off until the next stop. All types of people utilize this type of travel for various reasons: sightseeing, budget, a leisurely trip. While Transsiberian lagged a few times, this smart film is well worth the trip to the theater.
STEELE RECOMMENDS: SEE IT IN THE THEATRE!
Blood Car (narrative feature)
Killing people for fuel is not racist, it’s patriotic. It’s all about making a sacrifice to fuel our cars, mow our grass, grill our steaks . . .
It’s the (near) future and a cute vegan [Mike Brune] plans to use wheatgrass for fuel as gas prices are $30/gallon. [Wheatgrass is green and alternative energy is the green movement] Anna Chulmsky [looking exactly the same as she did in My Girl! except she now has boobs], the spunky wheatgrass vendor, seems the perfect match. But he starts hooking up with the hot girl who sells meat. [How’s that for ironic?] Blood Car provides a thinly veiled commentary about consumerism, automobiles and American culture. The film’s literal message is human blood as fuel source. It’s immensely clever, kitschy and fun.
STEELE RECOMMENDS: WAIT FOR THE DVD.
The Greening of Southie (documentary feature)
In 1998, The U.S. Green Building Council developed the LEED [Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design] system to rate buildings. Points are awarded for sustainable sites, energy and atmosphere, water efficiency, indoor environmental quality and materials and resources. What is unique about building green? Aren’t we all trying to live better and be better on the environment? Not really. I see so many people who do not recycle. Silly me. I live in Boston and assumed that recycling was a Massachusetts state law and recently discovered that it is not. Plenty of people add solar panels [I myself grew up in an Acorn solar house in the 80s] or tiling or duel flush toilets to improve a home’s energy efficiency. Massachusetts now has a state law that all new buildings must be green buildings. This Macallan building became the first in the state to be completely green and to receive a gold LEED rating. It is also in a historically working class neighborhood [see: 1970s busing crisis in Mass.] that is now a cooler, younger, hipper place. Sort of like the Brooklyn of Boston.
The charm of The Greening of Southie is that the green building concept is explained via the construction team (Regarding double flush toilets, one guy smirks “I use that a lot. That system. One never seems to do the job.” Frankly this documentary can be like watching paint dry, or floorboard installed but the workers add some color. The film shows where all the different materials come from: the bamboo (China); the wheat board cabinets (Minn.); ceramic tiles (Italy); double flush toilets (Australia). Like his first film King Corn, director Ian Cheney shows that being healthy and environmentally friendly has its price. Hopefully there’s a payback.
Like organic foods, it’s expensive to make a green building from recycled, energy-efficient materials. Have you changed all the light bulbs in your apartment or house to energy-efficient bulbs? It’s one of the easiest ways to save money, energy and help decrease your carbon footprint. Though the bulbs are about $5 each, they utilize less energy and your electric bill will be much less.

My Effortless Brilliance
Director Lynn Shelton says that she let her actors riff throughout the majority of this film where a scruffy, self-deprecating novelist (Harvey Danger lead singer Sean Nelson) struggles with a waning friendship– his friend dumps him actually– and his sudden success as a novelist. Nelson pretty much plays himself, but instead of being a singer he’s a novelist. In this ambling feature, he’s a bit insecure but has a good sense of humor. The film lingers in this comfortable persona. Weird hand held shot, camera angles and extreme close-ups secure the neurotic mood. My Effortless Brilliance has some funny, smart moments, such as Eric (Nelson) saying “I had a brie incident,” and cutting to a shot of him biting into a wheel of brie.
STEELE RECOMMENDS: WAIT FOR THE DVD.
Crawford
Did you ever wonder what the town of Crawford and the townsfolk are really like? Me either but this documentary lays it out in front of you. Northerners have stereotypes of Southerners and Southerners have stereotypes of us. This doesn’t do much to dispel any of them. Not that this is the goal although at times I think, wow, the filmmakers must think it’s amazing to find such an open-minded high school teacher in small town Texas. She’s just cool. The thing is, Crawford is only 15 miles from Waco, Tex. It’s not completely isolated in the middle of the Lone Star state. With a population of 700, Crawford got overwhelmed when then-governor/ now-President George W. Bush bought a ranch or built a ranch (I think that’s what he did but the film doesn’t provide those details). Coy political move or real desire to hunker down in a small town? Where did he live before he became governor? He did work in oil and own a baseball team. The filmmakers focus on a handful of colorful locals: a conservative horse wrangler, an avid Bush supporter, an idyllic, creative young man, a pastor, a socially aware school teacher and a Vietnam vet. A blue state view of a red state is the end product. When it’s about these people it’s interesting, when if veers away to provide political context it loses focus. Though how can there be film about President Bush without mention of this messy war?

When he introduced the film at this year’s Independent Film Festival of Boston, writer/director Chris Eigeman said, “If handmade is the opposite of corporate, I hope this feels handmade.” It does. It has its charms. Eigeman starred in the Wilt Stilman trilogy: Metropolitan, Barcelona and The Last Days of Disco. He’s very good at playing the buttoned-up, upper crust preppie type. So it’s somewhat surprising that he wrote and directed a film like Turn the River. But then again not that surprising as in those films, the characters drew the interest. Turn the River is a character study. Eigeman met Famke Janssen when they starred in the indie In Treatment together. Eigeman wrote the character in Turn the River specifically for Janssen. That tells a lot about her acting talent. She’s a tall, beautiful woman, yes. If you’ve only seen her in the X-Men films, you are missing out. She’s fantastic in little films like Monument Ave. and Love and Sex. [I’d love to see a film with Janssen and Elizabeth Hurley playing sisters.] While effortlessly beautiful and cool, Janssen can delve into nearly any role with conviction. She’s fearless. And there’s no Charlize Theron-technique of hiding her beauty to play serious roles either. Those beautiful, expressive eyes carry her character through this film. She turns in a gritty, natural performance as a pool hustler mom in Turn the River.
Kailey lost her custody of her son Gulley (Jaymie Dornan) to her ex-husband about a decade ago. We’re not exactly sure why but can guess. She seems from the other side of the tracks. She plays a lot of pool, isn’t educated in the conventional way and shuffles from place to place like many a grifter. Life experience shapes her and provides her with that hard edge. Yet her heart remains open to her son. Kailey has suffered losses at a young edge when she may wasn’t even enough of an adult to realize their implications. She’s not “book smart” like her son but certainly appreciates the virtues of his private schooling. Rip Torn plays the owner of one of her regular joints. He’s the father she’s always wanted. He doesn’t ask her too many questions and he supports her and unconditionally loves her and cares for her. It’s sweet. She spends most of her time at pool houses, sizing up potential marks, storing wads of cash in the back of a pick-up truck she won in a card game. When she finally decides to make the big move with her son, she’s going to risk everything.
Turn the River is a quietly moving film. It’s not flashy but is direct and complex. It slowly unfolds to show this street savvy woman who’s so on the edge and so close to going over the top. Will she make it? The ending may leave you completely confused and even asking, “Why did that just happen?” It’s flawed, absolutely. There are holes throughout but also plenty of heart. Overall though, this is a fine little film with stellar acting from Janssen.
