GHOST WRITER
Roman Polanski’s latest is one of the best films I’ve seen in awhile. The intelligent thriller will keep you on the edge of your seat, and Ewan McGregor is fantastic. Don’t miss it.

PRECIOUS
This disturbing Oscar nominee is tough to watch, but in my opinion, important to see (and incredibly well-acted).


CRAZY HEART
Jeff Bridges is wonderful as a washed-up country singer in this moving, entertaining film. Loved it (and the soundtrack)!


Must-miss!
NINE
A disaster. Fellini would roll over in his grave if he saw this horrible remake of his work. Marion Cotillard is cute, but otherwise it’s a waste of star-power (Daniel Day-Lewis, Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman, Judy Dench…)

Shutter Island
Scorcese. DiCaprio. And a thrilling storyline. A great weekend film.

A Single Man
Tom Ford proves to be a talented director. Colin Firth gives an Oscar-worthy performance in this beautifully-shot film.

An Education
Less than 10 euros for An Education? Carey Mulligan, another Oscar contender, is charming and Peter Saarsgard is creepy and seductive in this coming-of-age story set in 60s England.

(It’s horribly awful and sinfully enjoyable all at once – like the holiday itself !)

Film to avoid this week at all costs: FROM PARIS WITH LOVE
(More like ‘From Paris…. WITH A TERRIBLE MOVIE’)


FANTASTIC MR FOX - simply, Fantastic.
George Clooney as a fox. Meryl Streep as his fox-wife. Wes Anderson behind the camera. Need I say more?

Jake Gyllenhaal + Natalie Portman + Toby Maguire make an amazing trio, held together by a fabulous script and Jim Sheridan’s mastery of family dynamics.

Also out, Guy Ritchie’s latest SHERLOCK HOLMES, starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law as his side-kick Watson.


And DISGRACE, Steve Jacobs’ well received screen adaptation of J.M. Coetzee’s Booker prize-winning novel of the same name, starring John Malkovich.

Spend your weekend with George Clooney in Jason Reitman’s fantastic film.

THE PRINCESS & THE FROG (LA PRINCESSE ET LA GRENOUILLE)
For the kids… and every girl who still believes in Prince Charming. It’s classic Disney with a twist and 2D animation at its finest.

LE REFUGE
The auteur movie of the week. François Ozon films Isabelle Carré as a pregnant woman mourning her lover’s death. Trop beau.


And without forgetting MOTHER, a Korean film from director Bong Joon-ho selected for Cannes’ Un Certain Regard section last year.

Bruno Dumont’s new and predictably intense film (previous efforts L’Humanité (1999) and Flandres (2006) both won the Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival) HADEWIJCH, a film about religious faith and devotion, has been universally praised by the critics:

SAMSON & DELILAH, an Australian Aboriginal love story, took home the Camera d’Or at Cannes this year and is not to be missed:

if you liked the book, go see THE TIME TRAVELER’S WIFE (Hors du Temps), though it’s not as good as the book by Audrey Niffenegger, bien sûr:

And, to get you into the Christmas spirit even if it is only November is Robert Zemeckis’ (Back to The Future, Forrest Gump) animated A CHRISTMAS CAROL (Le Drôle de Noël de Scrooge); make sure to see it in 3D !

…with the love of your life (or the person you want to be the love of your life), Sam Mendes’ Away We Go

ABSOLUTELY DON’T GO SEE:
Richard Kelly’s The Box - a horrible horror movie

Tsai Ming Liang’s Visage – a static work of art posing as a film that gives a whole new meaning to ‘insufferable’
MAYBE GO SEE:
The weird French movie of the week….Les Herbes Folles by Alain Resnais

THE SURROGATES (CLONES) – terrible Bruce Willis action disaster

MICMACS A TIRE-LARIGOT- disappointing Jeunet

CINEMAN – worst French film of the year (possibly in history)
