New Movie Reviews: The Day the Earth Stood Still, Gran Torino, and Doubt
It's the end of the world and it feels strangely familiar in the remake of the 1951 classic The Day the Earth Stood Still. Clint Eastwood returns to growly acting with the racial redemption drama Gran Torino. And a Puerto Rican family endures a hectic Christmas week in the dramedy Nothing Like the Holidays. Also in theaters: Kate Winslet goes nude and Nazi in the mournful The Reader. Acting fireworks and religious deception are found in Doubt. The beat goes on in the musical Dark Streets. Animated family friendly fantasy hits a cruel low in Delgo. Kim Basinger singlehandedly battles a gang in While She Was Out. Steven Soderbergh retraces the footsteps of Che. And Michelle Williams takes the slow road to happiness with her dog in Wendy and Lucy. Be sure to catch reviews of other recent Theatrical Films: Milk, Frost/Nixon, Punisher: War Zone, My Name is Bruce, Cadillac Records, and Australia. As always, we invite you to share your thoughts on films In Theaters in our Movie Talk Forum.
