Julie & Julia Review
Meryl Streep turns in a brilliant performance as the late Julia Child. Too bad she couldn’t have the whole movie to herself.

Charlyne Yi’s charming pseudo-documentary about the nature of love is a surprising breath of fresh air.
Kari Skogland’s honest look at the Northern Ireland "Troubles" from both sides, where no one is entirely right or wrong and loyalties lie somewhere between a community and a cause.
This is a film about legume-resembling souls and transcendental storage, so it should be a laugh riot from start to finish. It’s not.
This isn’t the type of comedy we’ve come to expect from Judd Apatow. And that’s fine. But while this labor-of-love is at times bittersweet and raucously funny, it’s also an over-long, meandering mess.
Often-histrionic, quasi-Gothic entry in the long line of "evil child" movies suffers from an identity crisis. It’s not quite horror, not quite a thriller and not quite worth seeing.
A nebbishy low-level British politico commits a minor verbal gaffe that takes on a life of its own in this mediocre British satire.
An attempt to show us the horrific plight of women in an Islamic fundamentalist country ends up being almost too brutal to watch.
Autism speaks and has plenty to say in "Adam", the sweet-natured, atypical romance from writer/director Max Mayer.
Here comes another standard movie about the dating escapades of beautiful, successful, foolish-in-love white folks.
