Depicting Ted Kennedy's involvement in the fatal 1969 car accident that
claims the life of a young campaign strategist, Mary Jo Kopechne.
This movie's slickly made with excellent performances, but such a sober, unexcited depiction of the events, it doesn't reveal more than the facts already known.
A convicted arsonist looks to manipulate a parole officer into a plan to
secure his parole by placing his beautiful wife in the lawman's path.
Highly implausible psychodrama offers some good performances, but they don't make the story more believable.
Maltin**: "Somber drama offers no characters one can care about - except perhaps Conroy, as De Niro's long-suffering wife, who has turned to religion and alcohol!"
A young woman goes on a 1,700-mile trek across the deserts of West Australia with four camels and her faithful dog.
Well-made adventure movie with a supberb Mia Wasikowska in the lead role with some beautiful landscape photography unfortunately fails to show the actual hardships of such a journey.
Maltin***1/2: "Absorbing, eye-filling dramatization...What seems like a story of survival and perseverance also becomes a journey of self-discovery for the stubborn loner, who is played to perfection by Wasikowska. Deeply felt screenplay by Marion Nelson, with great cinematography by Mandy Walker. An eminently satisfying movie."
