PICK OF THE WEEK
In the Loop
Critics are giving
In the Loop rave reviews, saying it's the funniest and smartest political comedy to come along in ages.
Though the American president and the British prime minister are itching to attack, a top U.S. general (James Gandolfini) and the British Secretary of State for International Development (Tom Hollander) believe that's the wrong decision. However, a small miscommunication has the two powers ready to go to war, and it's up to the British politician to stop things before they get started.
A RIVETING HEALTH DOCUMENTARY THAT'S WORTH A SHOT
The English Surgeon
The true-life tale of Henry Marsh, a London neurosurgeon who travels to Ukraine to treat desperate patients with no access to modern medical facilities. On a trip to Kiev to give a lecture in 1992, Marsh was shocked to witness the plight of those with severe neurological problems there -- a ghastly world of primitive clinics, Kafkaesque bureaucracy, and medieval surgery -- and began making regular trips back to diagnose patients and perform operations whenever possible. Award-winning filmmaker Geoffrey Smith followed Marsh on one of these trips in 2007, plunging into the chaos of the quest to see and save as many patients as possible.
Critics are giving
The English Surgeon great reviews, saying it's a stirring, heartwarming documentary on mortality and the struggle to find meaning in life.
FLOP OF THE WEEK
The Ugly Truth
Critics are giving
The Ugly Truth bad reviews, saying the film's central romance flips and flops like a dying fish.
Abby Richter (Katherine Heigl) is a romantically challenged morning show producer whose search for Mr. Perfect has left her hopelessly single. She's in for a rude awakening when her bosses team her with Mike Chadway (Gerard Butler), a hardcore TV personality who promises to spill the ugly truth on what makes men and women tick.
