AUGUST RUSH is part romance, part gentle fantasy, but this sweet drama is all heart. When young cellist Lyla (Keri Russell) and rock musician Louis (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) meet at a party in the mid 1990s, it's love at first sight, and they spend the night in each other's arms. But Lyla's father forces them apart, even though she later learns she's pregnant. Later, an accident lands Lyla in the hospital, and though her father tells her that her baby died, the child survives and is given up for adoption. AUGUST RUSH jumps to the present and begins to follow Evan (Freddie Highmore), an 11 year old who has grown up in a boys' home. As Evan embarks on a crusade to find his parents, he imagines he can communicate with them through his gift for music. His journey to New York City brings him into contact with Wizard (Robin Williams), a man eager to capitalize on the child prodigy's talent. Wizard gives Evan the name August Rush as he begins performing all over the city, but the boy's ultimate goal is to find the parents he has never met.
From FINDING NEVERLAND to CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY, Highmore has displayed an almost prodigious talent himself. He's ...

Based on the real-life events surrounding a military-style drug raid on the poor, predominantly black housing project of Arlington Springs, director Tim Disney’s AMERICAN VIOLET shines an unflinching spotlight on the shameful racial profiling practices of a corrupt district attorney in a rural Texas town. The raid, which occurs after a tip by a single informant (a former mental patient bullied by the police to name names), targets among others Dee, a single mother of four with no prior drug charges (excellently played by newcomer Nicole Beharie). When the defendant assigned to her case tries to pressure her into a guilty plea in exchange for a 10-year suspended sentence, Dee refuses, rightly insisting that she has done no wrong. But with the vast majority of the prosecuted taking plea ...

East meets the Far East in CHANDI CHOWK TO CHINA, a Bollywood extravaganza that blends singing and dancing with martial arts. Full of comedy and drama, CHANDI CHOWK TO CHINA is about a mustachioed buffoon named Sidhu (Bollywood action star Akshay Kumar), who worships a potato and always looks for the easy way out. After being mistaken as the reincarnation of a great Chinese warrior, Sidhu and his friend Chopstick leave India for China to defeat the evil Hojo (martial arts legend and KILL BILL star Gordon Liu), where Sidhu quickly learns that he’s in over his head. But armed with a sense of destiny and aided by an amnesiac cop, Chiang (Chuck Norris protégé Roger Yuan), and his daughter, Sakhi (model Deepika Padukone), Sidhu transforms himself from a humble cook into a kung fu master.
Truly an international film in every sense of the word, CHANDI CHOWK TO CHINA blends the best of Bollywood and its lavishness with masterly martial arts. With stunts choreographed by the legendary Huen Chiu-Ku (whose credits include KILL BILL and CROUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON), the action is non-stop and a feast for the eyes. Kumar’s performance as Sidhu is both comical and compelling, and leading lady Padukone sets new standards for hotness in her dual role as Sakhi and bad girl Meow Meow. A welcome import from India, CHANDI CHOWK TO CHINA is jam-packed with enough ...

After years of swiping scenes from the leading men in such movies as KNOCKED UP and THE 40-YEAR-OLD VIRGIN, Paul Rudd finally headlines a star vehicle of his own. Unlike those Judd Apatow productions, it's John Hamburg (ALONG CAME POLLY) who directs I LOVE YOU, MAN, albeit with many of the touchstones of Apatow's highly successful freaks-and-geeks-with-heart aesthetic. In other words, this is not an Apatow film, but, with the male capacity for--and simultaneous inability to express--fraternal love as its core comic conceit (and emotional centerpiece), it may as well be.
Rudd plays Peter Klaven, a real estate agent with a blossoming career and an imminent marriage to Zooey (THE OFFICE's Rashida Jones)--basically, he's lucky in all things except male bonding. The narrative arc centers on his quest for platonic man-love--as opposed to, say, finding the girl of his dreams--and follows the boilerplate dictates of a standard rom-com with a subversive wink. In this case, boy meets boy, boys bond over their common love of Rush and Andre the Giant, boys break up and make up, etc. Rudd and co-star Jason Segel (FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL), a fellow Apatow alum who plays Sydney Fife, the Type B object of Klaven's affection, imbue their roles with winning charisma and elevate the plot with real and nuanced chemistry. With a whip-smart pace, the film continually tills fresh comic ground as Hamburg finds punctuation points in every scene and never lets a gag overstay its welcome. While the ...

In this autobiographical film from IN BETWEEN DAYS director So Yong Kim, two young girls are left behind by their mother. Sent to stay with their hard-drinking aunt, the sisters wait for their mother to return. When that doesn’t happen, they are moved to their grandparents’ house, where they must take care of each other.
TREELESS MOUNTAIN is abundant in the only special effect that Hollywood’s magical movie-making machines can never generate: sincerity. It is the story of two Korean girls (ages approximately seven and five) whose innocence is tested as they get passed from home to home while their mother searches for their absent father. With only her second film, writer-director So Yong Kim (IN BETWEEN DAYS) has immediately ascended into the history of cinema about children with this exquisite depiction of the accelerated evaporation of the purity of youth. In recent memory, only Abbas Kiarostami has traveled similar ground with such authenticity and grace.
The narrative of the mother’s abandonment, combined with the superb "performances" of the two adorable protagonists (non-actors), is more than enough to evoke the sympathy of the audience, but Kim has higher aspirations. The script is full of specific objects and ideas that appear as simple elements of plot before emerging as sublime symbols ...
