The Time Traveler's Wife

A man with a gene that allows his to travel through time fights to keep his marriage alive. The leads had great chemistry throughout, however it was difficult to understand with the jumping around in time. This film will makes you look at love from a different perspective.

Everybody's Fine

Robert De Niro stars as a father on a quest to reunite his grown children as a family again after his wife's death. A slow film with lots of drama and lack of emotion. Different than what I was expecting even thought it has a strong cast selected.

A Serious Man

I personally didn't find much humor in this film and got lost in the storyline. His wife is leaving him for another man, his career as a professor is in trouble and his brother won't move out of the house. A strange film with an open ending.

Wolfman

A son (Benicio Del Toro) comes home to news of his brother's death only to be bitten by a werewolf and cursed. The transformations are done well but the script contains some weak lines. Full of action but lacking the thriller intensity.

Fame

An updated version from the 1980 musical about teens searching for their performing arts dreams in New York. Extremely talented cast with stories that intertwine in an easy to follow story. The struggles and joys are captured in this fast paced film well worth watching.

Love Happens

A widower (Aaron Eckhart) turned best selling author with his self help book of coping with loss falls for a girl with possibilities (Jennifer Aniston). His hidden secret and troubling with his own person coping bring about obstacles. Lacking romance or components of chick flick persona, this film is not as joyful as anticipated.

Extract

An Extract plant owner faces personal and professional situations through "Office Space" humor. This film is light hearted fun from start to finish. A wonderful comedy if you're in need of a laugh on a snowy day.
