By Tony Rutherford
Huntingtonnews.net Entertainment Editor
Huntington, WV (HNN) – With Oscar night ebbing closer, “The Wrestler” makes it to our region so you can determine for yourself if Mickey Rourke’s performance is Oscar worthy! It’s exclusive , though, at Marquee Pullman.
Here are the other films opening this week: (not all movies in all areas):
CORALINE: Having moved from Michigan to Oregon, an eleven year old girl cannot find acceptable friends to replace those left behind. That is until she discovers a secret door that leads down a corridor to an alternate reality that seems better (at first) than her own existence. But her mysterious “other” existence contains danger, which persuades her to head back home.

HE’S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU: Single and married life for 20 and 30somethings in Baltimore ranges from the slim pickings in the dating pool to the cold shivers of marital commitment when there remain trust issues. The women have their hearts set on men who meet all their qualifications, except the one which places them in the unavailable category. Thus, Gigi (Ginnifer Goodwin) wants a man who will call when he promised to do so; Anna (Scarlett Johansson) can’t decide from her sexy married guy or the no sparks but straightforward standby; Beth (Jennifer Aniston) remains in a long relationship but she wants more and her fella thinks things are just fine status quo; Mary (Drew Barrymore) has found loving and supporting guys, but they’re gay… will anyone find a date, a relationship or husband?

Sounding like a part of the script has been borrowed from the “National Treasure” franchise, Chief Inspector Clouseau teams with a team of bumbling international detectives seeking the thief whose been swiping artifacts , including the priceless Pink Panther diamond.

A government agency has transformed American citizens into psychic warriors who can move objects with their mind, see the future, create new realities, and banish enemies without touching them. A second generation telekinetic , Nick (Chris Evans), has dropped out of sight and fled to Hong Kong to avoid following the agencies orders. But a young teen (Dakota Fanning), a clairvoyant, needs help finding Kira, a powerful psychic with the ability to plant thoughts into the minds of others.

REVIEW/ANALYSIS: Revolutionary Road/The Reader
A wispy young woman whom filmgoers remember as surviving the sinking of the “Titanic” has in 2008 claimed to atypical roles that each define the roots of the women’s movement beyond the wife of a man.
“Revolutionary Road” set in the 50s defines a time when the man provided for the family and married woman generally took care of children and kept house. That period saw the seemingly endless “keeping up with the Jones” cycle, where in this time frame it meant a house in the suburbs, a new car, and how many children do you have.
As a consequence, the satisfaction of a man for his job was not discussed. Rather, how much do you earn and are you on the promotion track. No one questioned the bosses decision and the manufacturer corporation was the idol to which all bowed unless they had an independent source of wealth.
Women were expected to be feminine, dress in the latest fashion (and not challenge skirt lengths, neckline plunges, or the wearing of pants no matter how climate suitable), cook dinner for their families, and stand by their man, even when he was an abuser or addict. Conservative churches taught marriages were for life, so to leave your husband placed a scarlet letter on your head.
Winslet plays a 50s woman living at the intersection of the movie’s title, “Revolutionary Road,” who had artistic aspirations in the performing arts field. She didn’t get a ‘big break’ so settled for marriage, family and community theatre. Although he husband (Leonardo diCaprio) is not content with his position, he recognizes that the job supports his family.
However, his wife has dreams --- of doing what you were put on this earth to do. She persuades him to move to Paris where they would switch roles --- she would work as a secretary, while he “found himself.”
The norms of the era toss inevitable decisions --- security and promotions, a new child on the way, the moving to another country impact upon their two younger children --- which amass greater role standards.
Strong willed Winslet expects a marriage of equality. Her husband should not make a major decision without asking her input. What about her? Must she discuss intimate private details with her husband? Is she free to determine decisions concerning her body without asking her husband?
Needless to write, their marriage contains loud verbal disagreements and occasional “threats” of actions that would be shameful in the eyes of others during the 50s.
As “Revolutionary Road” explores the intellect of a woman who knows what she wants and has at least some qualities and talents for realistically chasing the dream, her character Hanna in “The Reader” follows because she knows nothing else. Illiterate , plain, strong willed and unmarried she clicks tickets on a tram with the precision of a correctional officer.
Yet, the narration best describes their meeting: “He was 15 riding home from school when he became severely ill. One woman helped him.”
Months later the German student brought flowers to the woman twice his age. An affair ensured. Hanna taught her young man about the sensual ; he read to her from the classics of literature. Knowing that their “romance” could not lead to marriage, Hanna disappeared. Years later, attending a war crimes trial as part of a law class, Michael sees Anna again. Accused of war crimes, she and other women of the S.S. allegedly let 100 Jewish women burn to death inside a locked church.
Walking through her life as if a machine that follows a routine and asks or questions nothing along the journey, Hanna does as she is told or as she believes her superiors would expect that she behave. Aside from her under age (in the U.S. it would be statutory rape) affair with the boy of delicate health, Winslet offers no glimpse into the whys and wherefores, other than she generally gets her way. The story does not explore how her character came to be so hardened of heart. It’s Germany. The Second World War. Need anyone ask?
Offering a near fledgling glance into the mind of an S.S. civilian in a working class job, “The Reader” confronts Hitler’s so-called ‘final solution’ from the perspective of an illiterate government employee just doing her job. After having established the intimacy between the young man/older woman, the film’s director has reframed from the overwhelming epic proportions of the Nazi murders. At the trial, the perspective --- and balance of justice --- rests not on military men but civilians who just let the prisoners’ burn.
Having already established her harshness, Winslet’s Hanna solely expresses the bold truth that at the time was the so-called political right thing to do considering the prisoners were not considered by the Nazis to be on the same level of humanity, perhaps, an evolution between animal and man, but nothing else.
Thus, the women primed with S.S. washed brains saw the burning Jewish prisoners as a matter of more work. If they were let out, they would have to be rounded up, once rounded up they would have to be again selected for a train to a camp.
Winslet speaks stoic and seemingly questions nothing told by her superiors. She becomes a little pawn upon which the post-Nazi government sentences to life in prison for doing what she was told and for doing it when her fellow Germans would likely have done the same out of fear.
Ironically, Hanna inside the prison walls “grows” and “stretches” her capabilities, which provides even more tools for Winslet to display her talent, which as she ages, grasps the edge of futility while experiencing momentary upswings from depression. Particularly detailed make-up in one scene where her aged feet (compare to opening) are on screen.
Now, just give her the statue for Best Actress!
HOLD OVERS:
BRIDAL WARS: Best friends, Kate Hudson and Anna Hathaway become demented rivals when a clerical error schedules their weddings on the same day at the same place and time. Although most of the story occurs in Boston, the majority of the film features New York City settings. Keep your eye on Hudson. She’s a possible award’s contender in “Rachael Getting Married.”
FROST/NIXON: Directed by Ron Howard, Frank Langella and Michael Sheen reprise their Broadways roles as the young interviewer and the disgraced former President of the United States.

GRAN TORINO: Clint Eastwood directs himself in “Gran Torino,” in which an elderly Korean War veteran takes on a neighborhood suffering from an infestation of rival gangs. The Man with No Name, now in his 70s, plays a pacifist Korean War vet living in Detroit. When a troubled Hmong teen tries to steal his prized Gran Torino, the war veteran faces the prejudice, memories, and horrors that he has tried to forget. Buzz has Eastwood as a potential Oscar nomination candidate.
HOTEL FOR DOGS: Two youngsters (Emma Roberts, Jake Austin) find themselves placed in foster care at a location that has a strict no pets policy. Searching frantically for a home for their dog, Friday, the children find an abandoned hotel. They decide it would be a perfect spot not just for Friday but for the city’s other strays.

His former gal pal (Jamie King) is the only person believing his innocence.
NEW IN TOWN: Renée Zellweger and Harry Connick, Jr. star as the ambitious Miami executive meets the man of her dreams.

THE READER: Set in post World War II Germany, teen Michael Berg is nursed back to health from a bout with scarlet fever by Hanna (Kate Winslet), a woman twice his age.

Eight years later as a law student observing Nazi war trials, he sees Hanna a defendant in a courtroom. Kate Winslet ( already a winner of the Golden Globe and SAG for Best Supporting Actress) and Ralph Fiennes star in director Stephen (“The Hours”) Daldry's haunting period romance .
REVOLUTIONARY ROAD: Set in the seeming happy days of the 50s, April Wheeler (Kate Winslet, who just picked up two Golden Globes for Best Actress) and her “Titanic” co-star Leonardo DiCaprio tell an incisive story of an American couple asking , can two people break away from ordinary political correctness of their relationship and still remained committed and true to their marriage vows?
SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE: Bollywood meets Hollywood as an 18-year-old orphan competes in the Indian version of the television game show , “Who Wants to be a Millionaire.” With him but one question from the jackpot, police detain him when the show wraps for the night.

TAKEN: A former spy (Liam Neeson) traveling through Europe embarks on a frantic quest to rescue his daughter (Maggie Grace) after she is abducted by slave traders in Europe while following U2’s European tour.

A wispy young woman whom filmgoers remember as surviving the sinking of the “Titanic” has in 2008 claimed to atypical roles that each define the roots of the women’s movement beyond the wife of a man.
“Revolutionary Road” set in the 50s defines a time when the man provided for the family and married woman generally took care of children and kept house. That period saw the seemingly endless “keeping up with the Jones” cycle, where in this time frame it meant a house in the suburbs, a new car, and how many children do you have.
As a consequence, the satisfaction of a man for his job was not discussed. Rather, how much do you earn and are you on the promotion track. No one questioned the bosses decision and the manufacturer corporation was the idol to which all bowed unless they had an independent source of wealth.
Women were expected to be feminine, dress in the latest fashion (and not challenge skirt lengths, neckline plunges, or the wearing of pants no matter how climate suitable), cook dinner for their families, and stand by their man, even when he was an abuser or addict. Conservative churches taught marriages were for life, so to leave your husband placed a scarlet letter on your head.
Winslet plays a 50s woman living at the intersection of the movie’s title, “Revolutionary Road,” who had artistic aspirations in the performing arts field. She didn’t get a ‘big break’ so settled for marriage, family and community theatre. Although he husband (Leonardo diCaprio) is not content with his position, he recognizes that the job supports his family.
However, his wife has dreams --- of doing what you were put on this earth to do. She persuades him to move to Paris where they would switch roles --- she would work as a secretary, while he “found himself.”
The norms of the era toss inevitable decisions --- security and promotions, a new child on the way, the moving to another country impact upon their two younger children --- which amass greater role standards.
Strong willed Winslet expects a marriage of equality. Her husband should not make a major decision without asking her input. What about her? Must she discuss intimate private details with her husband? Is she free to determine decisions concerning her body without asking her husband?
Needless to write, their marriage contains loud verbal disagreements and occasional “threats” of actions that would be shameful in the eyes of others during the 50s.
As “Revolutionary Road” explores the intellect of a woman who knows what she wants and has at least some qualities and talents for realistically chasing the dream, her character Hanna in “The Reader” follows because she knows nothing else. Illiterate , plain, strong willed and unmarried she clicks tickets on a tram with the precision of a correctional officer.
Yet, the narration best describes their meeting: “He was 15 riding home from school when he became severely ill. One woman helped him.”
Months later the German student brought flowers to the woman twice his age. An affair ensured. Hanna taught her young man about the sensual ; he read to her from the classics of literature. Knowing that their “romance” could not lead to marriage, Hanna disappeared. Years later, attending a war crimes trial as part of a law class, Michael sees Anna again. Accused of war crimes, she and other women of the S.S. allegedly let 100 Jewish women burn to death inside a locked church.
Walking through her life as if a machine that follows a routine and asks or questions nothing along the journey, Hanna does as she is told or as she believes her superiors would expect that she behave. Aside from her under age (in the U.S. it would be statutory rape) affair with the boy of delicate health, Winslet offers no glimpse into the whys and wherefores, other than she generally gets her way. The story does not explore how her character came to be so hardened of heart. It’s Germany. The Second World War. Need anyone ask?
Offering a near fledgling glance into the mind of an S.S. civilian in a working class job, “The Reader” confronts Hitler’s so-called ‘final solution’ from the perspective of an illiterate government employee just doing her job. After having established the intimacy between the young man/older woman, the film’s director has reframed from the overwhelming epic proportions of the Nazi murders. At the trial, the perspective --- and balance of justice --- rests not on military men but civilians who just let the prisoners’ burn.
Having already established her harshness, Winslet’s Hanna solely expresses the bold truth that at the time was the so-called political right thing to do considering the prisoners were not considered by the Nazis to be on the same level of humanity, perhaps, an evolution between animal and man, but nothing else.
Thus, the women primed with S.S. washed brains saw the burning Jewish prisoners as a matter of more work. If they were let out, they would have to be rounded up, once rounded up they would have to be again selected for a train to a camp.
Winslet speaks stoic and seemingly questions nothing told by her superiors. She becomes a little pawn upon which the post-Nazi government sentences to life in prison for doing what she was told and for doing it when her fellow Germans would likely have done the same out of fear.
Ironically, Hanna inside the prison walls “grows” and “stretches” her capabilities, which provides even more tools for Winslet to display her talent, which as she ages, grasps the edge of futility while experiencing momentary upswings from depression. Particularly detailed make-up in one scene where her aged feet (compare to opening) are on screen.
Now, just give her the statue for Best Actress!
