As a gimmicky tale of betrayal and medical malfeasance in the tradition of Coma, this atmospheric thriller boasts a solid cast and enough twists to painlessly kill 85 minutes. Source: Hollywood.com |

Ive always heard good things about Hayden Christensens non-IStar Warsi work, but he certainly doesnt redeem Anakins whininess here. Clay is a character whos powerless against his own mother, afraid to tell her about the supposed love of his life basically, hes just a whiny, rich young adult, which isnt far from the role Christensen already showed he couldnt play.

"Awake" (R, 78 minutes). Hayden Christensen as a rich kid dominated by his mother (Lena Olin), in love with Jessica Alba, and undergoing heart transplant surgeryduring which, to his horror, he finds he can hear and feel everything going on. Don't even glance at the poster, which reveals a crucial twist. The medical procedures are preposterous, but for me, the suspense worked. Rating: Three stars. Source: RogerEbert Headlines |

Review:
Sarah polley, a canadian actress best known for The Sweet
Hereafter and the remake of Dawn of the Dead, is
twenty-eight. I mention her age because Polley makes a miraculous
debut as director and screenwriter of Away From Her by
telling the story of a fifty-year marriage attacked by an unseen
enemy: memory loss. Fiona (the luminous, legendary Julie Christie)
starts fading with small things, like putting a frying pan in the
fridge. But when she forgets her way home, Fiona and her husband,
Grant (the excellent Gordon Pinsent), decide on the Meadowlake
nursing home. In adapting Alice Munro's short story "The Bear Came
Over the Mountain," Polley avoids any trace of TV-movie glibness or
sentiment. As Fiona grows close to Aubrey (Michael Murphy), a
wheelchair-bound patient who barely speaks, and...

| Away from her / **** () |
"Away from Her" (PG-13, 109 minutes). Fiona and Grant Anderson (Julie Christie and Gordon Pinsent) have been married more than 40 years, mostly happily, when they are told she has Alzheimer's disease. Sarah Polley's great film is a heartbreaking masterpiece, one that doesn't bend the material into a comforting story but has the courage to simply observe the devastation of the disease. Rating: Four stars. Source: RogerEbert Headlines |
| Awesome: I F**kin' Shot That |
Remember the laid-back approach that director Jonathan Demme took to filming Neil Young onstage in Heart of Gold? Fuckin' forget it. For this Beastie Boys film, shot at a 2004 gig in New York's Madison Square Garden, director Nathaniel Hornblower (a pseudonym for Beastie Boy Adam Yauch) passed out fifty digital cameras to fans and let them go nuts. Anyone prone to seizures should bring protective straps and tongue depressors. Luckily, pros handled the sound and the editing. Yauch, Michael Diamond and Adam Horovitz promise "Triple Trouble" from the get-go, and they really bring it. The B-Boys bust out with the rock equivalent of a tornado. Get ready to be shaken and stirred. Source: RollingStone.com |
