The Reader
Kate Winslet won the Best Female Actor Oscar for her brusque portrayal of a German woman with a secret in this brooding, poignant and disturbing film. Ralph Fiennes, David Kross.
Curb Your Enthusiasm 7
Seinfeld co-creator Larry David’s uncomfortably hilarious sitcom enters its seventh season. Guaranteed to make you laugh and assume the fetal position at the same time.
Happy-Go-Lucky
Director Mike Leigh (Secrets & Lies) finds his happy place in this quirky flick about a ferociously upbeat young woman (Sally Hawkins). Warning: Do not compare your level of optimism to hers – it’s just a movie.
Last Chance Harvey
In this dramatic comedy, Emma Thompson and Dustin Hoffman prove that you’re never too old to be picked up in a bar. Phew.
Cadillac Records
Beyoncé rocks a short blonde wig (and makes it look hot) in this biopic about Chess records and the birth of rock and roll. This flick will make you want to seriously spin some Etta James, Chuck Berry, Howlin’ Wolf and Muddy Waters.
Battle in Seattle
In November 1999, regular folks successfully disrupted the World Trade Organization talks. This film looks at all sides of the conflict. Ray Liotta, Charlize Theron, Woody Harrelson.
