Urban bored kids embrace the Mid90s skateboard culture. This story told through the primary experience of the youngest member of a 5-kid bunch highlights the good and the bad of growing up when life isn’t so rosy. Great film. |

A Tom Cruise classic. Sometimes formulaic, but a great moral-telling story how even the glitzy can be vulnerable. Goding was a great pick for the “show me the money” athelite, and the romance between Cruise and Zellweger works as well. Nice appearance by Bonnie Hunt as Zellweger’s sister. |

Enron’s rise and fall gets reprised in this dolorous documentary. Unfortunately there’s little new here for those who followed the debacle when it went down. Worse, the narrative is marred by a blanket sense of sanctimonious disgust and the testimony of at least one disgraced antagonist, convic… |

A small movie – though not a short one – of deeply personal relationships, You Can Count on Me launched two Hollywood careers and elevated a third. Kenneth Lonergan’s debut marked him as an auteur of surpassing talent, while Mark Ruffalo’s first starring role marked him as an everyman actor of…
