Roger Ebert: I can't talk, eat or drink
|
| |
By Roger Ebert ...sounds so sad. Do you miss it?" Not so much really. Not anymore. Understand that I was never told that after surgery I might lose the ability to eat, drink and speak. Eating and drinking were not mentioned, and it was said that after surgery I might actually be able to go back to work on television.... more »

LORNA'S SILENCE (no spoilers)
|
| |
I found LORNA'S SILENCE a bit less satisfying than Dardenne brothers' previous stuff.

UP IN THE AIR (no spoilers)
|
| |
The ads for UP IN THE AIR boast its shared pedigree with THANK YOU FOR NOT SMOKING. That was probably a good idea, if only to blunt their striking surface-similarities.

TRUCKER is the sort of indie role that actors must find irresistible ...and, true enough, 90 minutes of Michelle Monaghan's ultra-feisty wagon jockey could never be all bad. (But a note to all 'tomboys': practice before throwing a baseball on-screen.) With its appealing ambience, setup, and cast ...I wanted to like this movie... more »
