Shahrukh Khan - Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi Movie Synopsis, Review, Critic, Trailer

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi Movie Synopsis
rab-ne-bana-di-jodiShahrukh is married to Anushka but there is a huge age gap between them. There is no real romance in the marriage. Then, a dance reality show called “Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi” airs and Anushka wants to participate but can’t because her husband is not hip and happening, she has a fear of losing and she also fears that her friends will laugh at her. Shahrukh overhears this problem and decides to go in for a makeover. He watches some movies and learns to dance in order to woo his young wife. Throughout the show Anushka keeps falling in love to with this ‘new and improved’ Shahrukh Khan without once realizing that he’s her husband. In the end, a justified title “Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi”

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi Movie Review and Critic
Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi is the story of an odd couple played by Shahrukh Khan and Anushka Sharma who find true love in the backdrop of a dance competition called “Dancing Jodi”. Surinder Sahni (Shahrukh Khan), a man working for Punjab Power, who falls in love with Taani (Anushka Sharma) the flamboyant, fun-loving, vivacious girl for whom the whole world is her canvas and she paints her own life with the colors of rainbow all until unforeseen circumstances changes it all and brings them together. They get married and lead a not-so happy life due to huge age difference between Surinder and Taani. Taani, meanwhile, wants to participate in a reality dance show called “Dancing Jodi,” which is the main backdrop of the movie. The dance contest showcases couples of all races, colours, backgrounds and sexual preferences. A movie review and critic By sofia228

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi marks the return of Aditya Chopra as a director after 8 years. His last movie Mohabbatein did well at the box-office, but it isDDLJ that continues to make news a decade after its release (its still running in a theatre in Mumbai). The expecations are quite high. Can Aditya Chopra recreate the magic of DDLJ, once again, with Shahrukh Khan in the lead? A movie review and critic By Indicine Team

rab_ne_bana_di_jodi_wallpaper

A hero who wears a thick moustache, black-framed spectacles, and pants which don’t fit. And a simple, unmade-up heroine, dressed, for the most part, in ‘salwaar kameez’ and ‘phulkari dupattas’. No, gulp, pastel chiffons. Could this really be Yashraj turning over a welcome new leaf ? Uh huh : the outlines of the characters are new, but the brush-strokes that fill in the whole, aren’t. In its telling, the few fresh touches in ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ are overpowered by those that are all too familiar. A movie review and critic By Shubhra Gupta

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (RNBDJ) is one of the most awaited movies of the year 2008. This movie is going to release on December 12. Shahrukh Khan and newcomer Anushka Sharma are in the lead roles of this movie. Directed by Aditya Chopra, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi (RNBDJ) is a very good love story. Shahrukh Khan is playing a role of a 40 years old Punjabi man while his heroine i.e the Anushka Sharma is playing the role of a 16 years old girl. Shahrukh Khan and Anushka Sharma are husband and wife. Anushka Sharma wants to be a dancer. A movie review and critic By Sonia Vihar

Gabriel Mann - Dark Streets Movie Synopsis, Review, Critic, Trailer

Dark Streets Movie Synopsis
dark_streetsA naive playboy investigating the suspicious death of his wealthy father finds his charmed life as owner of the hottest nightclub in town suddenly spiraling into disaster in this shadowy film noir fever dream from director Rachel Samuels. Gabriel Mann, Bijou Phillips, Izabella Miko, and Elias Koteas headline the film, which features music by Aaron Neville, Etta James, Dr. John, Natalie Cole, Chaka Khan, and more.

Dark Streets Movie Review and Critic
But plot and dialogue aside (and sometimes those elements really are secondary), Dark Streets effectively creates its world in other ways. Sharone Meir’s sumptuous cinematography and smooth, fluid camera movements bring the nightclub performance scenes to life, while the rest of the film plays with light, shadows, and colors. Director Rachel Samuels, in her third feature, shows a singularity of vision that will serve her well later, when she gets a better script to work with. (This one is by Wallace King, based on a play by Glenn Stewart.) A movie review and critic By Eric D. Snider

Based on a play called “The City Club,” Samuels’ film is filled with a lot of good stuff. It isn’t anywhere close to being a perfect movie; the plot is weak, the characters are all underdeveloped and the protagonist lacks the charisma and faults he needs to take center stage in this glamorous, yet dark and dangerous place. Even still, “Dark Streets ” is an entertaining and highly admirable work of art. As the film opens, we are told by the rhyming narrator Prince (newcomer Toledo Diamond) that Chaz Davenport (Gabriel Mann) has kissed a bullet. Prince, a signing and dancing pimp-like character of “Candyman” proportions with a mohawk, then tells us the story of how and why Chaz’s life was ended. Chaz was a high rolling playboy and the owner of the jumping nightclub The Tower. A movie review and critic By pollystaffle

ark Streets may only be a quasi-noir and quasi-musical, but that doesn’t stop it from being a wholesale slog. A tribute to 1930s music and style, Rachel Stevens’s film (adapted by Wallace King from Glenn M. Stewart’s play) is a thing of visual and narrative smudginess, its belligerently expressionistic, lush cinematography typified by awful fuzziness around the frame’s edges, and its story an undercooked murder-mystery comprised of half-scenes and conversational fragments. Whether it’s the faux-lyrical narration delivered by raspy-voiced, mohawked performer Prince (Toledo), the wan expressions of boozy nightclub owner protagonist Chaz Davenport (Gabriel Mann), or the portentous and/or saucy bon mots falling out of everyone else’s inane mouths, Stevens’s saga is a risible muddle devoid of depth, originality and soul. This last quality is the one most aggressively sought, mainly via a bevy of blues tunes that attempts to augment the plot proper with a measure of forlorn, doomed romanticism. A movie review and critic By Nick Schager

Clint Eastwood - Gran Torino Movie Synopsis, Review, Critic, Trailer

Gran Torino Movie Synopsis
gran-torinoA racist Korean War veteran living in a crime-ridden Detroit neighborhood is forced to confront his own lingering prejudice when a troubled Hmong teen from his neighborhood attempts to steal his prized Gran Torino. Decades after the Korean War has ended, ageing veteran Walt Kowalski (Clint Eastwood) is still haunted by the horrors he witnessed on the battlefield. The two objects that matter most to Kowalski in life are the classic Gran Torino that represents his happier days working in a Ford assembly plant, and the M-1 rifle that saved his life countless times during combat. When Kowalski’s teenage neighbor (Bee Vang) attempts to steal his Gran Torino as part of a gang initiation rite, the old man manages to catch the aspiring thief at the business end of his well-maintained semi-automatic rifle.

Gran Torino Movie Review and Critic
This Gran Torino has as its potential passengers a mixed group of people who are stereotyped throughout, with awfully silly dialogue and old-fashioned acting. This might please some in the audience who want to reminisce about the grand old movies like “Boys Town” and “Men of Boys Town” with Spencer Tracy in the role of Father Flanagan—determined to say the young ‘uns. Clint Eastwood both directs and anchors the production, taking the role of Walt Kowalski, an old salt in an inner-city Detroit neighborhood where political correctness is ignored by the blue-collar types who revel in calling one another by every racial and ethnic pejorative in the books lest they be considered girly-men. Walt Kowalski is no girly-man, nor is his aging Golden Labrador Retriever, Daisy—who at the time of the story’s opening is not only the man’s best friend but the only one. A movie review and critic By Harvey Karten

At 78, perhaps the only actor in the history of American cinema to convincingly kick the butt of a guy 60 years his junior, the hard-headed, snarly mouthed Clint Eastwood of the 1970s comes growling back to life in Gran Torino. Centered on a cantankerous curmudgeon who can fairly be described as Archie Bunker fully loaded (with beer and guns), the actor-director’s second release of the season is his most stripped-down, unadorned picture in many a year, even as it continues his long preoccupation with race in American society. Highlighted by the star’s vastly entertaining performance, this funny, broad but ultimately serious-minded drama about an old-timer driven to put things right in his deteriorating neighborhood looks to be a big audience-pleaser with mainstream viewers of all ages. A movie review and critic By Todd McCarthy

gran_torino_wallpaper

It’s an odd but never less than intriguing addition to the end of year wrap-up movie season. Especially on the heels of the historic Obama racial reconciliation victory, as Eastwood reinvents in his Gran Torino protagonist a dying breed in more ways than one, of race obsession and divisiveness. Though not exactly the stereotype conjured by Obama, this guy clings to his guns but blasts religion, as he nearly terrorizes the local young priest (Christopher Carley) he’s fond of referring to as an underqualified, overeducated virgin. A movie review and critic By Prairie Miller

Through Thao and his family’s unrelenting kindness, Walt eventually comes to understand certain truths about the people next door. And about himself. These people–provincial refugees from a cruel past–have more in common with Walt than he has with his own family, and reveal to him parts of his soul that have been walled off since the war…like the Gran Torino preserved in the shadows of his garage.

Kim Basinger - While She Was Out Movie Synopsis, Review, Critic, Trailer

While She Was Out Movie Synopsis
while_she_was_outDella Myers is an upper-class housewife that lives in a private condominium in the suburbs with her twin children and her abusive husband Kenneth. Della gives all the attention to the twins, neglecting their house and her appearance and upsetting Kenneth. On the Christmas Eve, she drives to the local mall in the night to buy wrapping paper for the gifts, and she does not find any parking space available. When she sees an old car parked on two spots, she leaves a message to the owner calling him “selfish jerk”. When the mall closes, Della’s car is hold by the driver of the old car and she is threatened by four punks - Chuckie, the Afro-American Huey, the Chinese-American Vingh and the Latin Tomás. When the security guard of the mall protects her, he is shot on the head by Chuckie, Della speeds up her car trying to escape from the criminals. However she crashes her truck nearby a forest while chased by the gang. She takes the toolbox and hides in the wood, fighting against the gang to survive.

While She Was Out Movie Review and Critic
If there’s any merit to that Sarah Palin joke about hockey moms, lipstick and pit bulls, then the suburban housewife thriller While She Was Out might very well be the punch line, in more ways than one. And stepping up to the plate to play that grueling, get even uncharacteristic role is Kim Basinger, who seems to have been a triumphant survivor of some sort of similar abusive domestic ordeal in her own life. Though without bringing Alec Baldwin into it, you do the math. A movie review and critic By Prairie Miller

Y’see, it’s pretty much identical plotwise to one of those women-in-peril TV movies from the 70s/80s that I rave about constantly – albeit with one major difference: it’s nasty… REAL nasty! We’re all used to the straightforward, linear and cosily familiar style of TV movies like She Cried Murder – and While She Was Out slots easily into that mould. But, whereas the worst thing that might befall Lynda Day George and pals was a twisted ankle, and the cops would always show up at the end, there’s no such security here. Kim Basinger is on the run from some truly dangerous thugs with only a toolbox grabbed from her car for protection – and, believe me, she’s not afraid to use its contents in ways that would give Tobe Hooper nightmares. A movie review and critic By Ross Horsley

while_she_was_out_wallpaper

While She Was Out The emotionally bruised air that’s frequently made Kim Basinger tabloid fodder is also a defining characteristic of her acting style. Writer-director Susan Montford, adapting Edward Bryant’s short story, exploits (in the best sense) Basinger’s wafting fragility and unleashes its latent fury, using the latter quality to drive this surprisingly enjoyable female revenge tale. Della (Basinger) is a doting, harried mom and an easy target for her abusive, faded-jock husband (Craig Sheffer) in their gated-community home. A movie review and critic By laweekly

A cretinous thriller with revenge-fantasy undertones, “While She Was Out” casts a stringy Kim Basinger as Della, a suburban housewife facing Christmas Eve with an abusive husband (“I want you to keep the house clean!”) and no wrapping paper. No prizes for guessing which problem she finds more pressing. Leaving her adorable twins in the sozzled care of the man who just threatened to break her arm, Della heads for the mall — where carolers trill of “Satan’s power” — and onto the radar of four skinny sociopaths with rape on their minds and probably a truant officer on their tails. A movie review and critic By JEANNETTE CATSOULIS

Kate Winslet - The Reader Movie Synopsis, Review, Critic, Trailer

The Reader Movie Synopsis
the-readerThe Reader opens in post-WWII Germany when teenager Michael Berg becomes ill and is helped home by Hanna, a stranger twice his age. Michael recovers from scarlet fever and seeks out Hanna to thank her. The two are quickly drawn into a passionate but secretive affair. Michael discovers that Hanna loves being read to and their physical relationship deepens. Hanna is enthralled as Michael reads to her from “The Odyssey,” “Huck Finn” and “The Lady with the Little Dog.” Despite their intense bond, Hanna mysteriously disappears one day and Michael is left confused and heartbroken. Eight years later, while Michael is a law student observing the Nazi war crime trials, he is stunned to find Hanna back in his life - this time as a defendant in the courtroom. As Hanna’s past is revealed, Michael uncovers a deep secret that will impact both of their lives. The Reader is a story about truth and reconciliation, about how one generation comes to terms with the crimes of another.

The Reader Movie Review and Critic
With some 300 films already produced about the Holocaust, a presumably weary audience would buy yet another only if it stands out, lives apart from the rest with an original idea, with complex characters, and with an unpredictable plot that would cast box-office doubts among the suits at mainstream Hollywood companies. Fortunately The Weinstein Company, known for bracingly original human stories, has picked up “The Reader” from a novel by Bernhard Schlink already translated into forty languages, one that sets a time span from the 1950’s to the 1990’s in just 218 pages. The film, adapted from the novel by first-class British playwright David Hare (“Amy’s View,” “The Judas Kiss”), is gripping not because of (non-existent) explosions, car chases, scenes of Nazi brutality, but because of its restraint. Though the performers spend some time in a courtroom that is prosecuting Nazi war crimes committed by lower-level workers, most of the emphasis is on two people whose lives are intertwined and whose actions after a frightening discovery are not the sorts of measures that you’d expect them to take. A movie review and critic By Harvey Karten

Murky ethical complexities — of love, of war, and of death — will be both the draw, and the drawback, for audiences considering The Reader, Stephen Daldry’s arresting cinematic adaptation of the novel by Bernhard Schlink. One of the most eloquent documents of personal awakening ever to be committed to celluloid, The Reader never compromises or settles for easy answers. It rebelliously challenges the prevalent Hollywood theory that entertainment and escapism are synonymous, and embraces its intellect and intricacy with refreshing candor. Some audiences may not embrace the film’s controversial themes, which may be difficult and even threatening…but avoiding The Reader is simply not an option. It demands your attention, and your attendance. Because it is unquestionably the smartest, most engaging, and most important film of the season. A movie review and critic By Gabriel Shanks

To give away anything further about this captivating combo torrid psychological and political courtroom thriller would compromise the many unconventional surprises and provocative dramatic suspense of this film. Suffice it to say that this story, despite some persistent plot flaws, is crafted with an immensely engaging array of daring twists touching on morality versus law. And at the same time, political corruption of a nation between governments and its citizens, as well as the Nazi inter-generational legacy. Not to mention a devil’s advocate, brutally candid reconsideration of the entire notion of just following orders, and deference to no matter what authority. The Reader, a remarkably brilliant and subversive guilt by erotic association thriller. A movie review and critic By Prairie Miller

Once again drawn to a tale that alternates between (and often parallels) intrinsically connected pasts and presents, The Hours director Stephen Daldry and screenwriter David Hare exhibit, with The Reader, a continued inability to thrillingly translate literary forms to the screen. Even greater than it was in their previous Virginia Wolf-centric collaboration, the problem is that the two mediums aren’t necessarily natural bedmates, as piercingly evidenced by the filmmakers’ method of adaptation, in which faithful straightforwardness gets the particulars correct but makes their source material’s plot tropes, symbols and mirroring structure both simplistic and obvious. Transposing German author Bernhard Schlink’s novel about a young boy’s maiden sexual relationship with an older woman and, years later, the devastating revelations that come to light about his lover’s true identity, Daldry and Hare’s film has the stately polish and thoughtfulness that’s come to define award-courting season, a sort of faux-highbrow atmosphere whose measured deliberateness, when matched by intense star turns, implies prestige. A movie review and critic By Nick Schager

Karra Elejalde - Timecrimes Movie Synopsis, Review, Critic, Trailer

Timecrimes Movie Synopsis
timecrimesLauded short film director Vigalondo makes his feature debut with this tense, unstoppable vision of science and natural law gone awry. A man who accidentally travels back into the past and meets himself. A naked girl in the midst of the forest. A mysterious stranger with his face wrapped in a pink bandage. A disquieting mansion on the top of a hill. All of them pieces of an unpredictable jigsaw puzzle where terror, drama and suspense will lead to an unthinkable sort of crime. Who’s the murdered? Who’s the victim? Timecrimes takes a bold, difficult premise and brings the rarely-tread time travel framework to pulse-pounding but intelligent new heights.

Timecrimes Movie Review and Critic
The latest in a line of effective, low-budget genre items out of Spain, Nacho Vigalondo’s feature debut shows that good cinematic time travelers can be done on a shoestring with the right script. “Timecrimes” welds a B-movie plotline to precision-engineered writing and a down-to-earth style; add an engagingly sloppy, nonplussed hero, who remains unfazed by the time-bending scrape in which he finds himself, and the result is memorably offbeat. Film has already garnered some positive fest play and offshore sales, with an English-language remake reportedly in the works. A movie review and critic By JONATHAN HOLLAND

Time travel movies take preparation. You need a pen — make that a pencil — and some paper, plus a keen eye for detail and a reasonable familiarity with the space-time continuum, the theory of relativity and the notion of causality. In the end, though, if the drama and action are good enough, you tend to overlook any brain aneurisms and enjoy the pure entertainment value. The Spanish film Timecrimes (Los Cronocrimenes) is just such a movie. A movie review and critic By Mark H. Harris

Timecrimes is like the sci-fi version of Philipe Petit, the circus street performer from Paris who became an overnight sensation when he tightrope-walked between the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center in 1974. Every step of that Man on Wire stunt, from its conception to execution, had to work flawlessly, lest Petit be left several thousand feet up without a net to catch him. It’s the same kind of puzzle-box perfection that threatens to destroy writer/director/co-star Nacho Vigalondo’s vision of a time travel movie. Because the storyline is so simple and the parallel reality plot points so tenuous, the slightest mistake means disaster for all involved. A movie review and critic By Bill Gibron

There’s no great message here, nor any revolutionary thought about time travel. Timecrimes is just a nifty little thriller, entertaining from start to finish, and just weird enough to seem unique. Though it probably won’t see much of a theatrical release, down the road it’ll be an ideal rental for someone looking for a quick thriller fix. A movie review and critic By Katey Rich

But if you can get past that, Vigalondo has created a surprisingly complicated and twisting story of time travel, murder and deception, and should be considered one of the better time travel films. Shot on what appears to be a low budget and featuring no recognizable actors, Timecrimes does suffer a bit from its indie look - Vigalondo’s direction isn’t particularly complex or memorable, and the acting is fine but not remarkably great. Beyond that, though, the writing is pretty good and the plot engaging. A movie review and critic By Erik Samdahl

Seann William Scott - Trainwreck: My Life as an Idiot Movie Synopsis, Review, Critic, Trailer

Trainwreck: My Life as an Idiot Movie Synopsis
trainwreckA man attempts to deal with a truly remarkable variety of personal and emotional problems in this comedy drama based on the real-life experiences of comedian and author Jeff Nichols. Jeff (Seann William Scott) is a man edging into his thirties who has a serious drinking problem along with Attention Deficit Disorder, Dyslexia and Tourette’s Syndrome; to say Jeff has a hard time dealing with others stretches the boundaries of understatement, and he devotes a fair share of his day to support meetings, even ones dealing with conditions which don’t involve his problems. Jeff prefers to blame his wealthy parents (Dierdre O’Connell) and (Denis O’Hare) for his problems, even though they haven’t done much besides stand aside as he’s burned down their home. Unable to hold down a job, Jeff has been evicted from the garage he was renting from Bert (Kevin Conway), who can no longer handle his many eccentricities, but with nowhere else to go, he somehow charms his way into the heart and home of Lynn (Gretchen Mol), a woman he met at a support group for people with relationship problems.

Trainwreck: My Life as an Idiot Movie Review and Critic
A startlingly funny look at life in the messed-up lane, “Trainwreck: My Life As an Idoit” — misspelling intentional — might be dismissed as cinematic tomfoolery if it weren’t based closely on events recounted in comic Jeff Nichol’s memoir. Beautifully put-together pic’s main appeal is a far-ranging central perf from Seann William Scott, who doesn’t try to ingratiate, yet comes off as far more likable than in his many fratboy roles. Fans of “American Pie” might find this one a bit arty, but “Trainwreck” is anarchic enough to win over younger auds if smartly approached. A movie review and critic By KEN EISNER

That’s not how you spell ‘idiot’ - but that’s how Jeff spells it. He’s dyslexic. And - even though he’s an occasional fill-in teacher - that’s the least of his problems. He’s also a recovering alcoholic with learning difficulties and several other issues. A misfit. And dangerous. Seann William Scott delivers an engaging characterisation - in fact I like him better in this role than in any other I’ve seen him play. The intensity he brings to the character and the insecurity he conveys provide a credible approximation of how the author, Jeff Nichols, must have seemed. Based on Nichols’ memoirs, the film turns the story into a cinematic adventure as Jeff crashes hi way through a life on the edge of normal society. A movie review and critic By Andrew L. Urban

Michelle Williams - Wendy and Lucy Movie Synopsis, Review, Critic, Trailer

Wendy and Lucy Movie Synopsis

wendy_and_lucy1A woman’s life is derailed en route to a potentially lucrative summer job. When her car breaks down, and her dog is taken to the pound, the thin fabric of her financial situation comes apart, and she is led through a series of increasingly dire economic decisions. Old Joy director Kelly Reichardt crafts this intimate tale of Wendy, an alienated Indiana woman who packs up her car and sets her sights on Alaska, but finds herself stranded in a small Oregon town with no money and only her faithful dog, Lucy, to keep her company. When Wendy realizes that there’s nothing keeping her in her home state of Indiana, she makes the decision to relocate to Alaska and seek out work at the local fish cannery. With her four-legged friend Lucy in the passenger seat next to her, Wendy stops off to get some rest in a small Oregon town. The following morning, when Wendy attempts to start her car, the engine fails to respond. But this is only the first in a series of snowballing events, because as Wendy waits for the local garage to open she heads to the supermarket to pick up some dog food for Lucy.

Wendy and Lucy You Movie Review and Critic
Lean like its title, Wendy and Lucy is no lo-def celebration of nature under grey skies, nor precisely a character study. A moment snatched from time, from a life coming from nowhere in particular, passing through interchangeable cities on a road map and in an agenda, and not bound for glory. These couple days in the voyage of a woman who is a child, promise no grand philosophy, neither joy, nor light, nor certitude. A movie review and critic By Donald Levit

A prime specimen of American independent cinema unencumbered by overbearing social commentary, Kelly Reichardt’s serene Wendy and Lucy finds more startling emotional honesty in the relationship between a young woman, her lost dog, and a small cast of day-job regulars than most films dare ask of two humans. Securing Michelle Williams’ place as one of the great young actresses currently working in the American cinema, Reichardt has miraculously cut down the lean metaphysics of her last work, 2006’s majestic Old Joy, into something far more enrapturing, a sort of seasonal constellation. A movie review and critic By Chris Cabin

wendy_and_lucy

It is some kind of miracle that a movie set in America in this day and age can feel as elemental as Wendy and Lucy. The spirit of westward expansion embodied by Wendy renders the film a distinctly American expression, though. It’s equally incredible that a story featuring a major star could place so much importance on poverty without shaming itself, but Reichardt guides Williams to do what is easily her best work. Her soulful, understated performance feels lived in. It’s as if Wendy’s been defeated so often in her life that she scarcely continues to fight. Williams, eyes to the floor, anchors every scene in the movie, never for a second pushing against the boundaries of believability. Even as Wendy’s desperate situation magnifies every triumph and setback, Williams remains a remarkably grounded presence. It is quite likely the year’s best screen acting. Wendy and Lucy may be a small movie, but it feels about as perfectly conceived as a small movie can be. Call it a minorsterpiece, if you will. A movie review and critic By Jeremy Heilman

Despite a lost-dog story primed for manipulative sentimentality, Reichardt’s gracefully unfussy direction maintains consistent tonal composure, so that when Wendy finally breaks down after having a nocturnal forest run-in with a wacko (Larry Fessenden), her sobbing registers not as melodramatic hysterics but as hard-earned release. With regard to finding Lucy, a pound employee tells Wendy, “It’s going to be up to you now,” and despite espousing the belief that one can still sometimes rely on the kindness of others, Wendy and Lucy ultimately does grant Wendy control over her and Lucy’s fate. Likewise, it places the burden of carrying the film on Williams, whose expression of at-the-breaking-point strain—a combustible fusion of fear, despair and misery over having lost the only genuinely true, reciprocal love in her life—is made intimately wrenching by her shaky suppression of those feelings behind a façade of defiant solemnity. Absent any showy histrionics or mannerisms, her performance makes painfully real Reichardt’s depiction of everyday problems magnified by poverty into mini-calamities, exhibiting a measured grace that’s matched by complementary beginning-middle-end tracking shots—of woman and dog playing fetch, of dog pound cages, and of dusk-dappled trees spied from a moving train—that encapsulate the film’s emotional trajectory from contentment to sorrow to hopeful uncertainty.

Mark Ruffalo - What Doesn’t Kill You Movie Synopsis, Review, Critic, Trailer

What Doesn’t Kill You Movie Synopsis
what-doesnt-kill-youInspired by his own tough childhood on the unforgiving streets of South Boston, director/co-screenwriter (along with Paul T. Murray and Donnie Wahlberg) Brian Goodman’s tough talking crime drama follows the journey of two childhood friends as they attempt to sever their powerful underworld ties. Ever since they were just young kids, Brian (Mark Ruffalo) and Paulie (Ethan Hawke) have always watched out for one another. From the petty crimes and misdemeanors of childhood to more serious criminal endeavors as they take their tenuous first steps into adulthood, the two sworn friends do their best to survive in the dog-eat-dog neighborhood while gradually falling under the sway of powerful crime boss Pat Kelly (Goodman). Fifteen years later, Brian finds his drug addition threatening to drive away his wife (Amanda Peet) while simultaneously taking a toll on his longtime friendship with Paulie.

What Doesn’t Kill You Movie Review and Critic
That’s the trouble with “What Doesn’t Kill You,” a film memoir by Brian Goodman, who directed and co-wrote the screenplay based on his own life in South Boston. Goodman’s history, assuming it happened more or less the way it does in the film, must have been traumatic and life-changing for him. But as it’s been laid out on the big screen, the story is generic and uncompelling, coming across as just another gritty drama about a major city’s criminal underbelly. A movie review and critic By Eric D. Snider.

Everyone knows the age old saying that what doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger. In this film, that’s the unquestionable truth for South Boston thug Brian (Mark Ruffalo) and his friend Paulie (Ethan Hawke), who grew up stealing and bullying fellow locals for cash. Now he’s got a wife and two kids and is still making his money in dishonest ways. What Doesn’t Kill You unfortunately isn’t the next Departed or Gone Baby Gone, but it’s another fine film in the on-going South Boston chronicles. First-time writer/director Brian Goodman pulls together quite a few great elements in the film, from the acting to the score, but it’s in dire need of a script rewrite and editing overhaul before it can be called a true gem. A movie review and critic By Alex Billington

what_doesn't_kill_you

The challenge for What Doesn’t Kill You is finding life for this solid yet minor league Boston saga in the audience that has already seen Gone Baby Gone, Mystic River or The Departed. Ethan Hawke in the cast gives the film a boost in the US and internationally. Foreign interest, while not strong, will depend on selling his performance. Home video could find a market wherever there is a public for Irish-American content. Paul (Hawke) and Brian Riley (Ruffalo) start out on errands for local wise guys, then move into robbing trucks, dope dealers, and anyone with money. Paul is a lady’s man, but Brian has two young boys and a stalwart wife (Peet) who’s feeling the stress of her husband’s scams and coke habit. A movie review and critic By David D’Arcy

The true-life saga of a South Boston tough guy is told with assured, sensitive style by tyro-actor-turned-director Brian Goodman in “What Doesn’t Kill You.” A fine example of traditional American storytelling lined with full-bodied performances, pic is especially notable for giving Mark Ruffalo the kind of complete role this subtle, instinctive actor has long deserved yet too seldom gets. Ruffalo gets to dominate a movie that has serious notions on its mind and is blessed with a powerful sense of place. With proper handling and certain positive reviews, a solid, grown-up aud can be tapped for respectable B.O. returns. A movie review and critic By ROBERT KOEHLER
