Yes, No, Maybe: Yes
Juliette Binoche, William Shimell, Jean-Claude Carrière
Directed by Abbas Kiarostami
Ever since The Unbearable Lightness of Being (1988) Juliette Binoche has been on my radar - The English Patient, Chocolat, Paris je t'Aime, Caché. An incredibly beautiful actor, she chooses roles that are unique and intelligent. Certified Copy (Copie Conforme) is uniquie in many ways: an Iranian director, an Italian setting, a French star in a story where a puzzle unravels as a couple moves about the countryside. Strong, yet subtle performances make this movie stand out, philosophical questions stay with us and the director leads us to wonder the many scenerios behind the scenes. Binoches won Best Actress prize in Cannes for this film. Read Ebert's movie review.

Yes, No, Maybe: Yes
Amy Adams, Christian Bale, Melissa Leo, Mark Wahlberg
Directed by David O. Russell
Best boxing movie since Raging Bull. Bale is amazing (Best Supporting Actor) and Wahlberg, Adams and every actor who makes up the Ward family maintains the high standards. Read a movie review.

Yes, No, Maybe: Okay
Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, Florence Kastriner
Directed by George Nolfi
Starts out well, continues to have hints of Bourne; lots of action and suspense where you're interested in the storyline and characters. Unfortunately towards the end, the sappiness kicks in and the movie ends in a romcom. Read a movie review.

Yes, No, Maybe: Yes
Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Tom Hardy
Directed by Christopher Nolan
Amazingly original, thoughtful movie that had everyone talking - and not jsut about the movie but about Nolan not being nominated for an Oscar - in a year that they had ten movies up. But we digress... an intelligent thriller and Kermode named it best film of 2010. Listen to Mark Kermode's Inception review.

Yes, No, Maybe: YesYes!
Changhua Zhan, Yang Zhang and Suqin Che
Directed by Lixin Fan
No matter how hard you work, you will be moved by this film of the plight of China's workers. For one weekend a year some are able to leave their beyond-cramped living quarters to return to their rural homes, for many it is the only time they will see their small children who are being raised by elders. And if you think the annual journey home is joyful, think again, from over-crowded trains to estranged children, reunions can be painful and sad. A documentary that all of us in the third-world should take notice of. Read Ebert's move review.

Yes, No, Maybe: Yes!
Nicole Kidman, Aaron Eckhart, Dianne Wiest
Directed by John Cameron Mitchell
Nicole Kidman is simply a great actor. Rabbit Hole is not a happy movie and that may turn some away, but it leads us through tragedy to a new sense of happiness and sometimes that's all we can ask out of life because sh*t happens to us all and we need to get through it somehow. A dream cast creates a story of real life and all the weirdness, craziness and realizations that come with it. Read a move review.

Yes, No, Maybe: Yes
Jake Gyllenhaal, Gemma Arterton, Ben Kingsley, Alfred Molina, Steve Toussaint
Directed by Mike Newell
I like Woody Allen so Prince of Persia was not on my list and the reviews were not good (Rotten Tomates 36%). But my partner loves this kind of stuff so we sat down - and hey, it was pretty good. If you can overlook the fact that no one in it is Persian, for a comic book, mythical story it was quite fun. So, if you're looking for an entertainment that you can relax and not think, give it a shot. Read a move review.

Yes, No, Maybe: YesYes
Joan Rivers, Melissa Rivers, Phyllis Diller, Kathy Griffin, Don Rickles, Johnny Carson
Directed by Ricki Stern, Anne Sundberg
At 75 Joan Rivers is still one of the hardest working actors, which is what she considers herself. First there was Phyllis Diller (so funny! and got a lot of cosmetic work done) and then there was Joan Rivers - and Joan is still going. This doc follows her life for a year and her engagements big and small that keep her going. An interesting film about the rise of women in comedy and one who still reigns supreme.

Yes, No, Maybe: Oh Yes!
William Ackma, Daniel Alpert, Eliot Spitzer, Sigridur Benediktsdottir, crooks, liars of the government and wall street
Directed by Charles Ferguson   Narrated by Matt Damon
Who saw the economic crisis coming - everyone. Why didn't you hear about it? Because too much money was being made and those who did speak out were silenced by the government, wall street and the mainstream media aka big business. Review here.

Yes, No, Maybe: Yes
Josh Fox, Pete Seeger, Dick Cheney, Aubrey K. McClendon, Pat Fernell
Directed by Josh Fox
Good old Halliburton is at it again with a new way to extract all the natural gas just sitting there under your land. Only one problem with the hydraulic drilling process called fracking and it's waking people up to the fact that getting some money for your rural land may not be such a great deal after all.

Yes, No, Maybe: Yes
Melody C. Roscher, Ariel Schulman and Yaniv Schulman
Directed by Henry Joost, Ariel Schulman
Do you know who you're talking with on the net? Watch this doc and you'll never look at the screen the same way. Take it for what it is, which is part of the uncertainty here. Read a movie review...

Yes, No, Maybe: Yes
Naomi Watts, Sean Penn and Sonya Davison
Directed by Doug Liman
A true story and one that is important for everyone to know about. As a movie it was good, as a bit of knowledge about governments and how they work, it's a must watch. Read a movie review here...

Yes, No, Maybe: Yes
James Franco, Amber Tamblyn and Kate Mara
Directed by Danny Boyle
An amazing story that you probably have already heard. James Franco does a great job (much better than he did at the Academy Awards) as a hiker trapped in the canyons in Utah with only one way out. Read a movie review here...

Yes, No, Maybe: Yes
Robert Downey Jr., Zach Galifianakis and Michelle Monaghan
Directed by Todd Phillips
Must admit I'd watch Downey Jr. in anything and seems that Galifianakis is the character actor of the season. This was a fun romp with both as they travel across country racing to arrive before the birth of Downey's child. Keep your expectations light and you'll enjoy it. Read a movie review here...

Yes, No, Maybe: Yes
Romain Duris, Vanessa Paradis, Julie Ferrier
Directed by Pascal Chaumeil
A French romcom - beginnng was excellent and I liked the concept; as with all romcom's you know how they're going to end, but I guess I should just lighten up and enjoy it as I'd enjoy a light desert. Not linking to a review because they all talk about the moive (duh) and the best part of watching this is before you figure out what's going down. Watch this before they do the American remake.

Yes, No, Maybe: Yes!
Kåre Hedebrant, Lina Leandersson, Ika Nord
Director: Tomas Alfredson
Loved it - best vampire movie ever. (Don't be fooled by Let Me In, the American remake.) Read a Movie Review.

Yes, No, Maybe: Yes!
Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis, Vincent Cassel, Barbara Hershey, Winona Ryder
Director: Darren Aronofsky
An amazing portrayal of the tension within staging a ballet. I've always thought ballet is the toughest atheltic, mental and acting gig in the world. Black Swan shows this to be true. The entire cast is perfection with Portman, Kunis and Cassel giving performances long to be remembered. Direction - brilliant and cinematography is stunning. Read a Movie Review.

Ed Gaughan, Andrew Buckley, Paprika Steen,Tuppence Middleton, Jason Isaacs,
Directed by Nick Whitfield
Really fun! A movie about exorcist, not a horror movie, we loved it and that's all we're saying 'cause if you see it fresh, you'll like it better. If you liked Being John Malkovich, we think you'll like this. Find a review after, don't read one before seeing it.

Yes, No, Maybe: Yes!
Chloe Moretz, Aaron Johnson, Nicolas Cage
Director: Matthew Vaughn
Rock It Hit Girl Who's Hit Girl and Big Daddy - their Kick-Ass's new best friends. Didn't watch this for a long time because coming book movies are usually meh for me and because of the violence - Loved It! Actors were a perfect fit for their roles. Is Hit Girl a role model for young, upcoming females - oh yes for young and old - she kicks ass. Remember it's just a movie - not to be tried at home. Read a Movie Review.

Yes, No, Maybe: Yes!
Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Kieran Culkin, Ellen Wong, Alison Pil
Director: Edgar Wright
Excellent and a perfect double bill with Kick-Ass. A unique move that didn't catch on with many but we loved it. Very fun. Cera is his usual subdued amazing and Culkin is wonderful and just the guy you'd want for a best friend. Think I've made it clear that I don't like comic book movies, but will have to change my mind after Kick-Ass and Scott Pilgrim. Read a Movie Review.

Review and trailer video coming soon.

Ben Affleck, Rebecca Hall, Jon Hamm, Jeremy Renner, Blake Lively, Pete Postlethwaite
Directed by Ben Affleck
What I really like about Ben Affleck's films is that they are real - no big CGI, just people running around doing crazy things. The Town is no different, and I'm always ready to see another one of his movies. Read a movie review.
