• Joyce Kulhawik Reviews 'No Country for Old Men'
  This is one of the best films of the year! The Coen Brothers of FARGO fame are back with another darkly off-beat caper about a man who stumbles on a drug deal gone wrong, and ends up being pursued by the baddest bad guy that ever was.
• Joyce Kulhawik reviews 'SHARKWATER'
  If there is one documentary you must see this year, it's SHARKWATER. It will completely change your feeling about this extraordinary creature and how it's being mercilessly slaughtered as we speak--with no one to speak up. Enter filmmaker/biologist Rob Stewart, who's had a lifelong obsession with sharks, and set out to make a movie about them which led to so much more. You won't believe your eyes!
• Joyce Kulhawik reviews 'BEE MOVIE'
  I can't remember when a movie has had this much advance "buzz." Jerry Seinfeld running around the Cannes film festival in a bee costume didn't hurt, nor did his many appearances on American TV. So BEE MOVIE is good, not great, but it made me laugh even if it didn't leave a lasting sting.
• Joyce Kulhawik reviews 'LIONS FOR LAMBS'
  LIONS FOR LAMBS is Robert Redford's latest movie. It involves an all-star cast and interweaves three stories from the worlds of politics, media, and education. It all starts with a Senator (Tom Cruise), and a veteran reporter(Meryl Streep) whom he suddenly summons to his office for an exclusive interview.
• Joyce Kulhawik reviews 'The Kentucky Cycle'
  It begins quietly in a forest clearing and then explodes into the most monumental production on Boston's fringe theater scene: the phenomenally engrossing THE KENTUCKY CYCLE! It's nine plays, six hours of theater in two parts and twenty five actors who bring to life the bloody saga of seven generations of Kentucky families. See it at the Zeitgeist Theater through November 18.
• Joyce Kulhawik reviews 'American Gangster'
  It's the movie everyone's been asking me about all month, and the one I couldn't wait to see--what with Oscar winners Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe squaring off against each other and director Ridley Scott at the helm.
• Joyce Kulhawik reviews 'Gone Baby Gone'
  This is a very solid, very assured debut for Ben in the director's chair. He's always been smart and hyper articulate--and we know he can write, he co-wrote GOOD WILL HUNTING--and shares writing credit here with Aaron Stockard. I have a few quibbles--but not with the uniquely gritty tone and the casting. Ben's younger brother, Casey Affleck, is strikingly authentic as a private eye investigating the disappearance of a four year old Dorchester girl.
• Joyce Kulhawik reviews 'Rendition'
  Oscar winner Reese Witherspoon and Oscar-nominated actor Jake Gyllenhaal are co-starring in a new film. I talked to them both in LA recently about their latest effort RENDITION, which explores the US Government's policy of abducting foreign nationals deemed a threat to national security, and secretly detaining and questioning them in overseas prisons.
• Joyce Kulhawik Reviews 'The Assasination of Jesse'
  It's a masterpiece. I am predicting Oscar nominations all around. Brad Pitt and Casey Affleck co-star in THE ASSASINATION OF JESSE JAMES BY THE COWARD ROBERT FORD.
• Joyce Kulhawik Reviews 'We Own the Night'
  It's a good film, not a great film, but what a trio of actors: a veteran Oscar winner, two Oscar nominees, and one home town favorite team up in a police thriller that's more than anything a character study of a father, his two sons and the journey they take together on both sides of the law: WE OWN THE NIGHT!
