Movie Reviews and Clip: Old Dogs

Two best friends—one unlucky-in-love divorcee (ROBIN WILLIAMS) and the other a fun-loving bachelor (JOHN TRAVOLTA)—have their lives turned upside down when they’re unexpectedly charged with the care of 7-year-old twins while on the verge of the biggest business deal of their lives. The not-so-kid-savvy bachelors stumble in their efforts to take care of the twins (newcomers ELLA BLEU TRAVOLTA and CONNER RAYBURN), leading to one debacle after another, and perhaps to a new-found understanding of what’s really important in life.

Movie Clip and Reviews: Brothers

When a decorated Marine goes missing overseas, his black-sheep younger brother cares for his wife and children at home—with consequences that will shake the foundation of the entire family.

Spiderman's Tobey Maguire plays the MIA Marine who comes home to find out his wife played by Natalie Portman (Star Wars I, II, III) had an intimate moment with his younger brother Jake Gyllenhaal (Brokeback Mountain, Prince of Persia).  In this movie clip from BROTHERS, Tobey Maguire goes ballistic in the kitchen upon his return home.

More on BROTHERS:
BROTHERS tells the powerful story of two siblings, thirty-something Captain Sam Cahill (Tobey Maguire) and younger brother Tommy Cahill (Jake Gyllenhaal), who are polar opposites.  A Marine about to embark on his fourth tour of duty, Sam is a steadfast family man married to his high school sweetheart, the aptly named Grace (Natalie Portman), with whom he has two young daughters (Bailee Madison, Taylor Grace Geare).  Tommy, his charismatic younger brother, is a drifter just out of jail who’s always gotten by on wit and charm.  He slides easily into his role as family provocateur on his first night out of prison, at Sam’s farewell dinner with their parents, Elsie (Mare Winningham) and Hank Cahill (Sam Shepard), a retired Marine.

Shipped out to Afghanistan, Sam is presumed dead when his Black Hawk helicopter is shot down in the mountains.  At home in suburbia, the Cahill family suddenly faces a shocking void, and Tommy tries to fill in for his brother by assuming newfound responsibility for himself, Grace, and the children.

But Sam is not dead; he and a fellow soldier have been captured by Taliban fighters.  In Afghanistan’s harsh, remote Pamir Mountains, Sam is subjected to traumas that threaten to rob him of his very humanity.  At the same time that Sam’s sense of self is being destroyed overseas, Tommy’s self-image is strengthening at home.  And in the grief and strangeness of their new lives, Grace and Tommy are naturally drawn together.  Their longstanding frostiness dissolves, but both are frightened and ashamed of the mutual attraction that has replaced it. 

When Sam unexpectedly returns to the States, a nervous mood settles over the family.  Sam, uncharacteristically withdrawn and volatile, grows suspicious of his brother and his wife.  Their familiar roles now nearly reversed, Sam and Tommy end up facing the ultimate physical and mental challenge when they confront each other. In the shifting family dynamics, who will dominate? And how will the brothers come to terms with issues of love, loyalty, and manhood—and with the woman caught between them?

Movie Reviews and Clip: Meryl Streep in Its Complicated

Writer/director Nancy Meyers (What Women Want, Something’s Gotta Give, The Holiday) directs Meryl Streep (Mammia Mia, Julie & Julia), Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin (30 Rock, The Hunt For Red October) in IT'S COMPLICATED, a comedy about love, divorce and everything in between.

Jane (Streep) is the mother of three grown kids, owns a thriving Santa Barbara bakery/restaurant and has—after a decade of divorce—an amicable relationship with her ex-husband, attorney Jake (Baldwin). But when Jane and Jake find themselves out of town for their son’s college graduation, things start to get complicated.

An innocent meal together turns into the unimaginable—an affair. With Jake remarried to the much younger Agness (Lake Bell), Jane is now, of all things, the other woman. Caught in the middle of their renewed romance is Adam (Martin), an architect hired to remodel Jane’s kitchen. Healing from a divorce of his own, Adam starts to fall for Jane, but soon realizes he’s become part of a love triangle. Should Jane and Jake move on with their lives, or is love truly lovelier the second time around? It’s…complicated.

John Kraskinski from The Office also stars.

In this clip from DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THE MORGANS, Paul and Meryl shop with their witness protection gurdians and Meryl worries they've moved in with Sarah Pailn.
