Moonlight Mile

Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Dustin Hoffman, and Susan Sarandon, MOONLIGHT MILE is a romantic drama set in 1966. Joe (Gyllenhaal) is grieving over the death of his fiancee, Diana, and is living with her parents, Ben (Hoffman) and JoJo (Sarandon). Though Joe just wants to do what's right, he openly admits that he has no plan, no answers, and needs time to sort things out. Meanwhile, Ben and JoJo cling to him as their only hope after losing their daughter, and the rest of the world expects him to bounce back into dating without a moment's pause. Joe's awkwardness and unquenchable efforts to be helpful provide for some touching and softly comedic moments. The New England setting of the film, the '60s cars and clothes, and the excellent soundtrack (Sly & The Family Stone, T-Rex, Bob Dylan) provide enough atmosphere to move this emotional story right along. But it isn't until Joe meets another woman (Ellen Pompeo), who also lost someone she loved, that he regains hope and begins to be true to himself and to the people around him.

- Over-sweet account of how various individuals cope with loss; it has its moments, though they are not as many as one would hope.

  Very impressive performances
  
  Ever since seeing Jake Gyllenhaal in Donnie Darko (and on stage in This Is Our Youth) I have been a big fan. Here he gives another great performance in what (... read more »

  surprisingly good
  
  Could have been very, very sentimental and just stopped short. The beginning saved it - all those wonderfully scathing comments from Susan Sarandon - she's ... read more »

Land of the Lost
- 24 Jul 2009
It may take a swallow to make a summer, but the season is never complete without a turkey or two. This year that would be Land of the Lost, a big screen adventure based on a tacky but unpretentious Saturday morning TV show that probably cost about six bucks to make back in the 1970s. Today, of course, Hollywood realises the true value of dinosaurs, time travel, aliens, and cheesy special effects: the producers invested $100 million to get it just so. And US box office has flatlined at less... Read more
