And De Niro, at its center, gives a performance that's perfect in its simplicity.” - Moira Macdonald, Seattle Times. “This wistful, gently moving family drama stars Robert De Niro as Frank, a retired telephone company employee and widower, who as the movie opens is eagerly preparing for a reunion with his grown children at Thanksgiving.... When Frank's high-achieving kids fail to show, he decides to visit them, embarking on a cross-country journey of often brutal self-discovery. Kate Beckinsale, Sam Rockwell and Drew Barrymore deliver fine performances as Frank's busily self-involved children, but Everybody's Fine is De Niro's picture through and through... He turns in a subtle, poignant performance as a man who has become an alien in his own family. When he contemplates a wheeled suitcase with faint bemusement, he resembles nothing less than E.T.; he's a walking embodiment of vulnerability and loss. Everybody should see Everybody's Fine. But one piece of advice: Phone home first.” - Ann Hornaday, The Washington Post<P><a href="http://www.citycinema.net/onefilm.php3?film=739">Advance Tickets</a> ~ <a href="http://www.imdb.com/Title?0780511">IMDB on Film</a> ~ movies@citycinema.net (City Cinema) Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:00:00 -300 http://www.citycinema.net/onefilm.php3?film=739&date=1268262000 http://www.citycinema.net/onefilm.php3?film=750 Only <B>4</B> days left to see this film.<P><B>Rated:</B> Parental Guidance (Coarse Language)<BR> <B>Runs:</B> 133 minutes<BR><B>Director:</B> Clint Eastwood<BR><B>Country:</B> US<BR><B>Released:</B> 2009<BR><B>Starring:</B> Morgan Freeman, Matt Damon<BR><B>Awards:</B> Academy Award nominations for Best Actor & Best Supporting Actor<BR><BR>“Newly elected South African president Nelson Mandela has an idea: Ease racial tension - at least superficially - through sports.

For most of their 12-plus years together, Jack and Meg White claimed to be siblings, when in fact they were married for three and a half years. (Each is now remarried to someone else.) They have cultivated an iconoclastic music and design style, which has struck some as a contradiction, like organized anarchy or optimistic nihilism. So when the band decided to undertake a 2007 tour of Canada in support of their sixth album, Icky Thump, they chose a circuitous path that wound through every province and territory, "from the ocean to the permafrost" as Jack put it. Emmett Malloy, a noted maker of music videos, tagged along for the more extreme segments of the tour, and the result is Under Great White Northern Lights. It's the kind of tour that one imagines the cool kids (as opposed to the strictly popular ones) would undertake, kicking off in Whitehorse, with an unscheduled downtown outdoor concert, and including a stop in Iqualuit, on Baffin Island, for a meeting and sing-song with a group of First Nations elders. Malloy offers extended footage of the band's raucous performances - the duo manage to make both a lot of noise and beautiful music with nothing more than drums, a guitar and their voices. There are also quieter sets (We're Going to Be Friends is particularly nice) and backstage ramblings. The best bits are Jack's impromptu conversations, such as his interview of the mayor of Yellowknife, who personally picks them up at the airport and drives them to their gig. (Talk about your northern hospitality!) The film mixes black-and-white and colour footage, and at times seems like a tour documentary from an earlier age, especially given the occasional old-but-still-working vehicle in the North. The Stripes' plan was to play a regular venue in each stop, but also to include a spontaneous performance, some of which ended up taking place on a Winnipeg city bus, a Saskatoon bowling alley and a boat in Charlottetown harbour. Bigger stops such as Toronto and Ottawa get less attention, but this is really about the band getting back to its roots. It's ironic that just after the tour, which included the White Stripes' 10th anniversary concert in Glace Bay, N.S., they cancelled planned dates in the U.S. and U.K., citing an attack of acute anxiety by the reclusive Meg. They were next seen performing live more than two years later, on the final episode of Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Their next move is anyone's guess. But until it happens, they'll always have Canada." - Chris Knight, The National Post <P><a href="http://www.citycinema.net/onefilm.php3?film=756">Advance Tickets</a> ~ <a href="http://www.imdb.com/Title?1487275">IMDB on Film</a> ~ movies@citycinema.net (City Cinema) Sun, 14 Mar 2010 14:00:00 -300 http://www.citycinema.net/onefilm.php3?film=756&date=1268589600 http://www.citycinema.net/onefilm.php3?film=750 Only <B>1</B> days left to see this film.<P><B>Rated:</B> Parental Guidance (Coarse Language)<BR> <B>Runs:</B> 133 minutes<BR><B>Director:</B> Clint Eastwood<BR><B>Country:</B> US<BR><B>Released:</B> 2009<BR><B>Starring:</B> Morgan Freeman, Matt Damon<BR><B>Awards:</B> Academy Award nominations for Best Actor & Best Supporting Actor<BR><BR>“Newly elected South African president Nelson Mandela has an idea: Ease racial tension - at least superficially - through sports.

But this low-key Italian charmer takes that idea to extreme lengths. Writer-director Gianni Di Gregorio plays Gianni, a placid Roman in his fifties who lives with his elderly mum Valeria, a refined 80 year old who always looks like she’s dressed for dinner at the Ritz back in 1963. This loving pair live in a comfortable city-centre apartment, surrounded by good furniture and knickknacks accumulated over many years, but we know they have little cash as the manager of their building comes knocking, wondering when they’re going to pay their service charges. In place of a cheque, Gianni agrees to look after the manager’s mother for the weekend. However, when the mother, Grazia, turns up, she has another relative, Maria, in tow. Within hours, Gianni has also agreed to take care of Marina, his doctor’s mother, which means he’ll be spending the mid-August holiday in the company of four women with a combined age of around 350. It’s a bit of a stretch to call this a comedy, even though it puts a warm grin on your face from beginning to end. The real beauty of the film lies in how Di Gregorio quietly realises the relationships between Gianni and the four women. These ladies might need a bit of looking after, but they still like to talk about boys, eat good food and even, in one case, wander off in the middle of the night for a furtive drink... This is very much a real and warm enterprise, not least because Di Gregorio extracts such lovely performances from his elderly cast.

This loving pair live in a comfortable city-centre apartment, surrounded by good furniture and knickknacks accumulated over many years, but we know they have little cash as the manager of their building comes knocking, wondering when they’re going to pay their service charges. In place of a cheque, Gianni agrees to look after the manager’s mother for the weekend. However, when the mother, Grazia, turns up, she has another relative, Maria, in tow. Within hours, Gianni has also agreed to take care of Marina, his doctor’s mother, which means he’ll be spending the mid-August holiday in the company of four women with a combined age of around 350. It’s a bit of a stretch to call this a comedy, even though it puts a warm grin on your face from beginning to end. The real beauty of the film lies in how Di Gregorio quietly realises the relationships between Gianni and the four women. These ladies might need a bit of looking after, but they still like to talk about boys, eat good food and even, in one case, wander off in the middle of the night for a furtive drink... This is very much a real and warm enterprise, not least because Di Gregorio extracts such lovely performances from his elderly cast.

Its four junkies decide to rob a bank after the arrival of the first ATM machines. Predictably, things do not go according to plan. (A tip: don’t shoot up in your getaway car.) High Life’s excellent dark comedy makes it one of the best Canadian films of the past year... Playwright Lee Macdougall adapts his story with a profound cinematic sensibility, adding humorous flashbacks to flesh his out deeply crazed criminals. Director Gary Yates builds on the strength of the cast through intense pacing.

At the heart of the film is the clash of sensibilities (and cultural sensitivities) between a young Canadian family living in a diplomatic residence in New Delhi and Stella, an indefatigably crafty housekeeper. Don McKellar and Lisa Ray are terrific as the newcomers but it’s the Indian cast members who have the most fun in the Mehtas’ fleet-footed satire.” - Jason Anderson, Eye Weekly<P><a href="http://www.citycinema.net/onefilm.php3?film=755">Advance Tickets</a> ~ <a href="http://www.imdb.com/Title?1479676">IMDB on Film</a> ~ movies@citycinema.net (City Cinema) Thu, 01 Apr 2010 19:00:00 -300 http://www.citycinema.net/onefilm.php3?film=755&date=1270162800
