Some More Reviews


Every Little Step

Pros: Great music, a storyline that roughly follows A Chorus Line, and compelling characters you want to root for.
Cons: I can't think of one.

I don't like musicals, but LOVED this film.

My rating: Worth $10 and the price of a babysitter.


Up

Pros: It's Pixar's next film. Up is a date movie as much as it's an adventure film.
Cons: It's a little long. The strong female character in the beginning isn't throughout the film, and there are no other females.

My rating: Worth a matinee. You have to see this one on the big screen to appreciate the animation--especially textures and light.


Moon

Pros: The science and technology doesn't get in the way of the story or the main character's humanity, and is mostly good. The moon scenes are fantastic. GREAT acting by Sam Rockwell.
Cons: If you're a sci fi geek, you might find the plot twist a bit transparent.

My rating: See this at the ONLY showing at MSPIFF, Monday, April 27th at 7 pm. What else do you have to do on a Monday night? The view of downtown from St. Anthony Main is fabulous, the parking is free, and there's lots of great food and drink to to be had.

And get your tickets now--this Sundance 2009 film might be sold out by the 27th.
