Martian Child 2007, PG)
This film not talked about often this year was an irresistibly cute from start to finish. Cusack's uncertain vulnerability is very charming, and his chemistry with the young actor is undeniably energetic. The comedy is adorable, and the tears are authentic. Really overlooked, check it out. |

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street 2007, R)
While the art design and story of Sweeney Todd are decidedly Burtonesque, it was odd to see one of my favourite directors re-imagine himself somewhat for this piece. Burton's camera work adapts beautifully to suit a musical, and he plays the scenes perfectly, letting all the ideally set pieces fall neatly into place. Disappointing though is the shoddy editing and poor pacing. That being said though, I did enjoy this despite having trouble settling into it. |

Music and Lyrics 2007, Unrated)
This is a cute little offering powered almost solely by the amusing nature of the story and Hugh Grant's endlessly charming persona. While Drew Barrymore struggles to find a unique performance, and the movie seems slow and sluggish at times, it's still funny and light hearted enough to make it worth watching. |

The Number 23 2007, Unrated)
Joel Schumacher's latest effort is pretty good concerning some of his previous piles of shit, but he puts his faith into a terrible script, and for that his film is a failure. While the nightmarish imagery and suspense elements are pretty well done, the plot and development of Carrey's character are both very poor, and the whole concept seems pretty silly. The twists and turns are unecessary and occassionally just stupid. I think it's a movie with promise, and Carrey does an excellent job trying to haul it around and make it believable. But when you start with garbage on the page, it's hard to make the finished product anything but. |

Mr. Brooks 2007, R)
An interesting idea, executed poorly due to the insistance of the screenwriter to focus on a horrible detective character played by the horrifically casted Demi Moore instead of the psychotic Mr Brooks and his talking dark alter ego played by William Hurt. But this is still a midly successful picture, with a bit of a b-movie air to it. If not for that damn Demi Moore. Hope she gets struck by a bus. |
