"Shutter, which I knew nothing about going in, turned out to be pretty creepy. Joshua Jackson ("Bobby") stars as a photographer who keeps seeing a ghost in his pictures. Then she turns up haunting him and his girlfriend, so they try to sort out why she's so pissed. The mood is pretty chilly throughout, and even the end held up. I wouldn't say seek it out, but if you come across it, it's worth watching.The newest film from writer/director David Mamet ("Spartan"), Redbelt is sort of about a martial arts instructor who doesn't want to fight in a tournament, but then circumstances, and acquaintances, conspire to get him into it. Because it's Mamet, the dialogue is super cool. My two new favorite phrases, "Let the wheel come around," and "Leave the outside, outside." However, there are a few side stories that are either confusing or don't go anywhere. Chiwetel Ejiofor ("American Gangster") is amazing in the lead. His eyes express everything. I quite enjoyed this.Drawn to The Secret throu ... "

"A tattered personality uneasy with interracial relationships is at the heart of this good neighbor gone bad suspense thriller. With some cause, the over reaction and subsequent harassment from bad guy Abel (Samuel Jackson) creates real tension and successfully avoids predictably. It also avoids any sort of racial guilt or liberal message that could have undermined the effort asking the question is it pride, anger or mere racism behind the eventual open hostility? And although the movie is capable of holding ones attention, the semi-long runtime and contrived, mutual threat last act do little for the overall effort. In some ways a mediocre movie but the lingering questions of ambiguity and an excellent effort from Jackson go a long way. Lakeview Terrance is hardly stellar but a good time regardless "

"Sometimes I really wish David Bordwell’s blog permitted comments. Mostly it’s better that it doesn’t, but the man’s last post has made me want to discuss the art of movie titles for a whole week now. And it didn’t help that coinciding in time with Bordwell’s post was another one of those sidebars in Entertainment Weekly pointing out some new movies with misleading titles. Yes, Lakeview Terrace does sound like a period romance, as do many other badly titled films (Elizabethtown and Wicker Park come to mind). This weekend also sees two new movies employing the method of borrowing song titles, which are typically not appropriate (Ghost Town seems more like a horror western hybrid, while My Best Friend’s Girl

"September is often used as a dumping ground for movies, but this year it also appears to be a dumping ground for once-great or once-promising talents who’ve lost their way. I’ve taken note of at least 10 individuals (actors, actresses and a couple filmmakers) who have new films out this month (I’m counting the Labor Day weekend, too) who are due for a visit from the Ghost of Movies Past. More specifically, these people need to backtrack to the ‘90s, which is when most of them did their last truly great work. Perhaps they need to take a look at that earlier work and remember what it was they used to do. Or perhaps they just need to get advice from the Coen brothers, who similarly hit a slump in the new millennium, but who are now back on track with a few more Oscars in hand and a new comedy, Burn After Reading, which looks to be more in line with their ‘90s classic The Big Lebowski than their 2000s missteps Intolerable Cruelty and The Ladykillers. Nicolas Cage (guilty September 2008 ... "
