Movies... Hot Flicks This Week Family Weekend It’s got Shirley Jones in it, but this isn’t the Partridge Family reunion you’ve been waiting for. In fact, it’s kind of hard to tell for whom Family Weekend is intended: the film features Olesya Rulin as Emily, a teenage jump-rope champion. The idea is that Emily is the ambitious, do-gooder child of her basket-case parents (one a glamour queen played by Kristin Chenoweth, the other a bearded Marxist played by Matthew Modine). When her parents fail to turn up for her jumprope tournament, Emily decides to take dramatic action to “re-educate” her parents: she kidnaps them in their own home and subjects them to PowerPoint presentations about proper family behaviors. One imagines this scenario appealing to pubescent girls, and yet the movie is rated “R,” so go figure. Mental Think Mary Poppins, except that instead of the blessed Ms. Andrews as Mary the magical nanny you have Toni Colette as Shaz the crazed lunatic nanny. In Mental, a new film from Australia, a small-town politician, Barry Moochmore, commits his unstable wife to a mental institution, but then finds himself unable to cope with his four daughters. In a panic, he recruits an unhinged
Tyler Perry’s Temptation Why include the director’s name as part of the title of a film? Is it a kind of auteur gesture, a proof of the film’s rarified origins, the game-changing concepts presented in the film, the sheer genius brought to bear? I mean, Tyler Perry’s Temptation already has Kim Kardashian AND Brandy in it, so there really can’t be any serious doubts as to its worth and its eventual acceptance into the filmic pantheon. Following in the steps of Gustave Flaubert, Tyler Perry’s Temptation tells the story of sturdy but tame domesticity threatened by the allure of excitement and novelty. The allusions to Madame Bovary notwithstanding, this is a powerful and original take on the nature of life and love among a fallen humanity. A first among equals, Kardashian radiates surgically-enhanced glamor. Room 237 It seems that no matter what the subject, it’s possible to find people that take it too seriously. Documentaries about these people, who often fall into the “nerdy reclusive man-child” category, are always a lot of fun. The documentary Room 237 explores the little-known world of people who are obsessed with the film The Shining. Members of this subculture, believe it or not, spend a lot of time and energy attempting to decode hidden messages and meanings they think they find in the classic Stanley Kubrick film The Shining. Room 237 has received a lot of acclaim, and will surely become another classic in the growing stack of documentaries about obsessive freaks.
