Student Life Archives (2001-2008)

New Releases

Domestic Disturbance
John Travolta. Vince Vaughn. Steve Buscemi. If this film, about a father who finds out his son’s new stepdad is a killer, was at all good, chances are you would have seen something about it besides late night previews on cable. Don’t let the cast fool you; it’s not even worth a rental. At the Esquire.

Life as a House
Contrary to what the name suggests, this is a movie about the life of a man, one George Monroe (Kevin Kline). Fired from his job and dying of cancer, George finally decides to build his dream house in the hopes of repairing his relationship with his estranged son before it’s too late (sob, sob). FYI (for those who don’t read the Star Wars website) the rebellious son is played by the new Annakin Skywalker.

Monsters, Inc.
It’s about time this over-hyped film came out! Monsters, Inc., the latest from the Toy Story team, features the voices of Billy Crystal and John Goodman as Mike and Sully as two of the monsters that live under kids’ beds. This movie takes you behind the scenes of the monster-scaring business to the world lurking beyond the closet door. At the Esquire

The One
A supernatural action film starring martial-arts
expert Jet Li. Li travels through multiple dimensions fighting his evil double (from another reality) who is on a quest to kill him. If you love all martial arts films, you’ll love this. If you don’t, chances are this won’t be the one to change your mind.

Va Savoir
French romantic comedy about an actress named Camille who returns home to Paris for the first time in three years to star in the play As You Desire. In case any of my History of World Cinema classmates read this, the film was directed by French New Wave filmmaker Jacques Rivette. Maybe I’m a big dork, but I thought that was kind of cool. At Plaza Frontenac
