Judging by the box office numbers, audiences are finding and loving The Help, a lovingly crafted film dealing with tough issues of race with style and humor.
2. Fright Night
Superior to the 1985 film in every way. Funnier, and yet more terrifying thanks to Colin Farrell's slithery performance as Jerry the Vampire.
1. Attack the Block
A touch of Steven Spielberg, mixed with the grit and swagger of Walter Hill's The Warriors, is the best way to describe Joe Cornish's confident debut. A film that disintegrates other alien invasion films by throwing the old formula out the window.
DVD Pick of the Week: Win Win
Nobody makes movies with more heart and soul than Tom McCarthy. The actor turned writer/director(The Station Agent
, The Visitor
) is back again with another story of a lovable loner who learns a thing or two about familial loyalty where least expected. The great Paul Giamatti is failed high school wrestling coach and struggling lawyer Mike Flaherty. With his business failing, Mike scams the court out of money posing as the guardian to a wealthy client. That is until the client's wrestling champ grandon shows up on his doorstep, and things start looking up. But at what cost comes this sudden good fortune?
