5 out of 5 starsGenre: Documentary
Run Time: 1 hour 34 minutes, Rated R Narrated by Laurence Fishburne Featuring: Fishbone, Norwood Fisher, Angelo Moore, Ice-T, Flea, Gwen Stefani, Branford Marsalis, George Clinton Directed by Lev Anderson and Chris Metzler (Plagues and Pleasures on the Saltan Sea) If you haven’t heard of the band Fishbone, you’re not alone. Fishbone is not too well-known, although they’ve been redefining music for over 30 years. Everyday Sunshine: The Story of Fishbone is a documentary film about the band that should have been your typical Behind the Music-esque exploration of a musical group and their struggles with fame, fortune, and glory. The only problem is that Fishbone is not your typical band, and its members have not gone down the typical path. In fact, there arguably isn’t a more original sound out there. Fishbone has left a mark on the music industry and should be recognized, and with Everyday Sunshine, you are given the argument as to why this is so…a compelling argument that results in what may very well be the most entertaining documentary of the year.

Opens locally Friday, December 9th, 2011 Run Time: 1 hour 58 minutes, Rated PG-13 Starring: Michelle Pfeiffer, Zac Efron, Robert De Niro, Halle Berry, Seth Meyers, Jessica Biel, Hilary Swank, Sarah Jessica Parker, Ashton Kutcher, Sofia Vergara, Jon Bon Jovi, Katherine Heigl, Common, Lea Michele, Josh Duhamel Directed by Garry Marshall (Valentine's Day, Runaway Bride, Pretty Woman, Beaches) Garry Marshall's New Year's Eve opens up with a voice-over that tells us that some people say there is no excitement or magic left in the world. Well if there is, none of it found its way into this film. Using the same formula that he used in last year's Valentine's Day, New Year's Eve gives us seemingly hundreds of well-known actors and actresses playing cardboard-thin cliches who's lives and relationships are intertwined. I've never had more anticipation for the New Year's Eve ball drop in all of my life, since I would assume the story would end on New Year's Day. 3 out of 5 starsGenre: Drama, Romance, Foreign
Opens locally Friday, December 9th, 2011 Run Time: 1 hour 40 minutes, Not Rated Starring: Alexander Fehling, Miriam Stein, Moritz Bleibtreu Directed by Philipp Stolzl (Richard Wagner, North Face, Baby) The title Young Goethe in Love correctly summarizes this English-subtitled German film opening in limited release today. “Goethe” is referring to Johan Wolfgang von Goethe, a real person and one of the most famous German writers in history, credited as one of the geniuses of modern German literature. His best known works are Faust, and The Sorrows of Young Werther, the latter being credited as one of the world’s first “best-sellers” when it was released in 1774. |
