Anvil.
Anvil began in Toronto where school friend Steve “Lips” Kudlow and Robb Reiner made a pact to rock together forever and they meant it. The band went on to become the demi-gods of Canadian metal, inspiring a musical generation of bands like Metallica, Slayer, and Anthrax, all of whom went on to sell millions of records. But Anvil’s career took a different path straight to obscurity. Director Sacha Gervasi has concocted a wonderful and often hilarious account of Anvil’s last-ditch quest for elusive fame and fortune.
EASY VIRTUE.
Jessica Biel woos a younger man (Ben Barnes) and shocks his British parents (Colin Firth, Kristin Scott Thomas) in this adaptation of a Noel Coward play. (PG-13 for sexual content, brief partial nudity, and smoking throughout.) http://easyvirtuethemovie.co.uk/
The Proposal.
The trailers for this romantic comedy about an executive (Sandra Bullock) who forces her underling (Ryan Reynolds) to marry her so she can avoid deportation seem to give the plot away, from beginning to end. Here’s hoping the movie harbors some kind of twist ending to juice things up. Like maybe one of the pair was really dead all along! Or maybe she’s really a he! (PG-13 for sexual content, nudity and language.) http://www.myspace.com/proposalmovie
Summer hours.
Two brothers and a sister witness the disappearance of their childhood memories when they must relinquish the family belongings. Oliver Assayas directs this poignant French film that stars Juliette Binoche, Charles Berling, and Jeremie Renier. In French with subtitles. (Not rated.) http://www.ifcfilms.com/index.html
YEAR ONE.
Jack Black and Michael Cera are cavemen exiled from their village who get caught up in all sorts of wacky misadventures. Judd Apatow (“Knocked Up”) produced, and Harold Ramis (“Ghostbusters”) directed, so maybe the movie will be funnier than it looks. (PG-13 for crude and sexual content throughout, brief strong language and comic violence.) http://www.yearone-movie.com/
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) again joins with the Autobots against their sworn enemies, the Decepticons. Also stars Megan Fox, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson and John Turturro. (PG-13 for intense sequences of sci-fi action violence, language, some crude and sexual material, and brief drug material.) http://www.transformersmovie.com/
