American Dreamz 2006  PG-13, 107 min.
Genre: Comedy / Drama
Director: Paul Weitz
Cast: Hugh Grant, Dennis Quaid, Mandy Moore, Willem Dafoe, Chris Klein, Jennifer Coolidge, Sam Golzari, Marcia Gay Harden, Seth Meyers, John Cho, Judy Greer, Bernard White, Shohreh Aghdashloo
This satire aims at a variety of subjects, but the Presidency of George W. Bush and the reality show, American Idol, are the prime targets. Dennis Quaid takes on the role of recovering alcoholic President Staton who seldom reads the newspaper and relies on the advice of his Dick Cheney-like Chief of Staff (Willem Dafoe) who, to increase the President's ratings, books him as a guest judge on the popular reality show, American Dreamz. The TV show, featuring aspiring musical artists, is easily identified as a satirical view of American Idol with the popular program's self-absorbed Martin Tweed (Hugh Grant) preparing the season's new shows. Contestants include blonde redneck Sally Kendoo (Mandy Moore) and show-tune loving terrorist Omer Obeidi (Sam Golzari). The President agrees to a live presentation, and Omer prepares to assassinate him during his appearance on live TV.

| | Anonymous 03/07/2007 | | Really enjoyed seeing James Spader's comedic talents. Michael Caine and Maggie Smith were priceless. I can't figure out why this went to TV when it was filmed for the Theater? It's really not the bomb some people think it is. |

The Hoax 2007 R, 115 min.
Genre: Drama
Director: Lasse Hallstrom
Cast: Richard Gere, Alfred Molina, Marcia Gay Harden, Hope Davis, Eli Wallach, Julie Delpy, Stanley Tucci, Zeljko Ivanek, John Carter, Christopher Evan Welch, Peter McRobbie, David Aaron Baker, Michael J. Burg, Raul Julia
This film is based on the true story of writer Clifford Irving (Richard Gere) who almost pulled off a great media scam when he conned the publishing house of McGraw-Hill into believing that his 1971 "autobiography" of Howard Hughes was based on real interviews with Hughes. Irving used the fact that Hughes had made it a point to not be seen in public for the last 10 years, and he used tape-recorded "interviews" in which he played Hughes to back up his claims. 1 User Review
| User Review |
| | the good, the bad and the silly | bill b. 05/15/2007 | Richard Gere as Clifford Irving almost steals the movie with the best acting job he's ever done, despite the disclaimer from Irving that his need for money in spawning the hoax was a hoax in itself apparently. Nevertheless, it is Oscar nom caliber, and the near theft of the film is prevented only by Alfred Molina as his all-too-willing grifting partner. The parts unstolen by Gere become Molina's propterty, and, incidentally, he comes off an off-Broadway role as a washed-up show-biz agent in "Howard Katz" as the titled character. It's quite a switch, but then Molina, show also did a turn as Tevye a few years ago, makes such transititions easy.
The bad, the women, not one of the three in the important roles comes across as a real person. Hope Davis as the McGraw-Hill exec comes closest. Eli Wallach is wasted. The rest of the cast is more than adequate.
The silly, making the claim that the hoax changed the course of history with the Nixon theory that Watergate was triggered by the Irving-Hughes connection is absolutely ludicrous.
Nevertheless, aa fun film. |

Into the Wild 2007 R, 140 min.
Genre: Adventure / Drama
Director: Sean Penn
Cast: Emile Hirsch, William Hurt, Brian Dierker, Vince Vaughn, Hal Holbrook, Marcia Gay Harden, Jena Malone, Catherine Keener, Kristen Stewart, Zach Galifianakis, Haley Ramm, Merritt Wever
Based on Jon Krakauer's nonfiction story, this is the tale of troubled Christopher McCandless (Emile Hirsch) who, after graduating from Emory University, got rid of his possessions, donated his savings to charity, changed his name to Alexander Supertramp, and headed out on a journey through the American West. He eventually ended up living in an abandoned bus in the Alaskan wilderness, where he died of starvation four months after arriving in Alaska. The story is told in flashbacks after he arrives in Alaska, starting with his life at home. Emile resented his father's (William Hurt) materialism and his family's way of life. Heading west, he experienced several adventures, including kayaking down the Colorado River to Mexico, stopping at a homeless shelter, hopping on trains with the hoboes, and meeting assorted characters along the way. Narration of the saga is by Jena Malone who plays his sister in the film. Was Emile just seeking adventure, or was there a deeper problem within him? A good movie, though long. The film received two Academy Award nominations including Best Supporting Actor (Hal Holbrook).

The power is out, and a thick mist has engulfed the town. Inhuman creatures lurk in the mist, and those who try to travel through the mist are disappearing. Among the shoppers inside the store is commercial artist David Draton (Thomas Jane) and his son Billy (Nathan Gamble). David represents the common-sense approach of dealing with the frightening situation, but religious fanatic Mrs. Carmody (Marcia Gay Harden) stirs up opposition and tells them that only a human sacrifice will end the terror they are experiencing. Now those creatures begin to appear, and some shoppers divide into forces behind David who supports cautious pro-action, others support Mrs. Carmody, and still others listen to New York lawyer Brent Norton (Andre Braugher) who insists there must be a simple explanation for what is going on. The creatures are one thing, but how the trapped shoppers behave toward each other is another step beyond frightening. Another Stephen King thriller.
