Marvin's Room
Upon receiving a call from her leukemia-stricken sister after not speaking with her for two decades, a devil-may-care single mother packs up her two sons--one, a rebellious teen who has spent time in a mental institution--and heads to Florida to reunite with her ailing sibling and their bedridden father. The women's differences in philosophy immediately spark a wrenching confrontation, but help arrives from the most unexpected of sources--the delinquent teen, whose reluctance to accept the family he never knew ultimately melts away when he discovers his aunt's true spirit. An acclaimed drama, adapted by Scott McPherson from his 1990 stage play.

A movie that betrays its theatrical origins, and which gives its cast the opportunity for acting with the stops full out, of which they take full advantage.

Surprisingly funny and uplifting
It could have been Hollywood cheesy schmaltz, but instead it feels like an independent film with an A-list cast.
All the performances are great. ... read more » - 12339

Not sure about this one
Ponderous plot and action, for me. I'll have to endure it again to make any judgements, but it might be worth a try.

Can't live with them - can't live without them
Enjoyed watching the interactions between Hank and Lee and Bessie and Lee. The film didn't dwell on the corny, predictable things it could have - at these ... read more »

Marty’s Men

Call it “’Shut Out Island’. Originally scheduled to open in the US at the end of last year, the release of Martin Scorsese’s gothic thriller was pushed back to February by Paramount Pictures, taking the movie out of Oscar consideration. (Technically it’s eligible for next year, but that’s about as likely as Paris Hilton winning best actress.) What were they thinking? Granted, Shutter Island is not conventional Oscar-bait – horror rarely appeals to the... Read more
