THE LAST EXORCISM (USA 2010) ***
Directed by Daniel Stamm

THE LAST EXORCSM has doubtful priest (THE EXORCIST also featured a doubtful priest Jason Miller) performing an exorcism.  The difference here is not the question of the priest’s faith, but whether the girl is genuinely possessed or a bit mental.

THE TILLMAN STORY (USA 2009) ***
Directed by Amir Bar-Lev

Exposing a major cover-up has always been and still is a favorite subject for documentaries.  The successful and widely seen PAX AMERICANA, GASLAND and FUEL are just 3 cover-up docs that have recently hit the screen.  But THE TILLMAN STORY is more moving as the problem here feels more personal as it affects a typical family.

Directed by Rob Reiner

The teen romance film FLIPPED, based on a book by children author Wendelin Van Draanen is surprisingly charming and heart-warming and comes as no surprise as it comes from the director, Rob Reiner of feel-good movies like WHEN HARRY MET SALLY and THE PRINCESS BRIDE.  Like a mix of these two movies, FLIPPED is a fairy tale where romantic dreams come true.

LIFE DURING WARTIME (USA 2009) ***
Directed by Todd Solondz

Living a normal life could be like fighting a war!  Solondz’s characters in LIFE DURING WARTIME experience such!

THE SWITCH (USA 2010) ***
Directed by Josh Gordon and Will Speck

Directors Josh Gordon and Will Speck who shared an Oscar nomination for their short film CULTURE prove their worth with the Jennifer Aniston romantic comedy THE SWITH.  A romantic comedy with Aniston might sound just the kind of film cynics will avoid, but their film is quite charming and surprising despite a totally predictable storyline.
