Kill the Irishman

Ray Stevenson, Vincent D'Onofrio, Christopher Walken, Val Kilmer, Bob Gunton, Tony Darrow, Vinnie Jones, Tony Lo Bianco, Steve Schirripa, Paul Sorvino, Mike Starr - Almost the exact same cast as "Goodfellas". About a Irish "wiseguy" in Cincinnati during the 1970's. "Goodfellas" was more believable (despite having Christopher Walken in the cast). I would give it 3 3/4 out of 5 stars.  (2011 - R)

How Do You Know

Reese Witherspoon, Paul Rudd, Owen Wilson, Jack Nicholson, Mark Lynn-Baker, Kathryn Hahn, Tony Shalhoub - After being cut from USA softball team, a thirty year old woman (Reese Witherspoon) takes stock of her life. After hooking up with a major league ballplayer (Owen Wilson), she fings herself strangely attracted to a out-of-work corporate shill (Paul Rudd). For the first hour, it dragged. But for the second hour, it was all right. I would rate it 3 3/4 out of 5 stars.  (2010 - PG-13)

Music Within

Ron Livingston, Michael Sheen, Hector Elizondo, Rebecca De Mornay, Marion Ross, Clint Howard, Leslie Nielson - A true story of Richard Pimentel, who championed disabled rights from the early 1970s intill today. I thought it was awe inspiring. I would give it 4 out of 5 stars.  (2007 - R)

The Savages

Philip Seymour Hoffman, Laura Linney, Philip Bosco - About a man (Philip Seymour Hoffman) and his sister (Laura Linney), and the decisions they must go through when an eldely, abusive father gets dementia. It was quite good. I would rate it 3 1/2 out of 5 stars.  (2007 - R)

Made in Dagenham

Sally Hawkins, Bob Hoskins, Richard Schiff, Rosamund Pike - The true story about how the women struck the Ford plant in Dagenham, England for equal pay rights back in 1968. It was very interesting. Sally Hawkins is always good. I would rate it a 4 out of 5 stars.  (2010 - R)
