&#8220;Our generation is the worst since the Protestant Reformation&#8221; - Chris Eigeman, right, admonishes Edward Clements in Whit Stillman&#8217;s delightful comic-drama, &#8220;Metropolitan.&#8221; 
The sort-of yuppie version of Wes Anderson, Whit Stillman has made just three pictures: &#8220;Metropolitan&#8221; (1990), &#8220;Barcelona&#8221; (1994) and &#8220;The Last Days of Disco&#8221; (1998), which, until it was re-released by Criterion yesterday, [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=waynemelton.wordpress.com&blog=1563467&post=382&subd=waynemelton&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

“District 9” is no shrimpy alien flick, it’s just a little tasteless.
by Wayne Melton
“District 9” opens with what can only be called an otherworldly pairing. There’s a giant alien spacecraft, hovering in midair over a teeming Johannesburg, South Africa like a sooty, upside-down mountain. And there’s Wikus Van De Merwe (Sharlto Copley), an entirely unprepossessing [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=waynemelton.wordpress.com&blog=1563467&post=379&subd=waynemelton&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Personality Crisis
“Adam” looks at neurological disorder through a pleasant love story.
by Wayne Melton
In the spectrum of movies about people with behavioral disorders, “Adam,” about a young man (Hugh Dancy) with a type of high-functioning autism, is on the glamorized, entertainment-oriented end, kind of like an indie “Rain Man.”
Adam (Dancy) suffers from Asperger syndrome, which makes [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=waynemelton.wordpress.com&blog=1563467&post=367&subd=waynemelton&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Global Warning
“O’Horten” demonstrates the dangers of cultural comedy exchange.
by Wayne Melton
When it comes to movies, most genres cross borders relatively unscathed. But as societies, are we supposed to watch each other’s comedies?
The question nagged me during a recent viewing of “O’Horten,” a Norwegian film about the misadventures of a locomotive engineer, Odd Horten (Baard Owe), [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=waynemelton.wordpress.com&blog=1563467&post=374&subd=waynemelton&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

With “The Time Traveler’s Wife” looming on my theater-going horizon, I happened to feel like watching the mother of all outlandish romances, “Random Harvest,” Mervyn LeRoy’s 1942 weepy starring Ronald Coleman as a WWI vet suffering from amnesia and Greer Garson as the woman who loves him.

I’ve seen Vincente Minnelli’s CinemaScope production “Some Came Running” (1958) before, not too many years ago in fact, but was surprised to find that besides the plot I’d mostly forgotten all the interesting little details that make it so enjoyable, a lapse not the fault of this wonderfully written and directed film.
Based on a novel [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=waynemelton.wordpress.com&blog=1563467&post=344&subd=waynemelton&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

The first time I saw Carol Reed&#8217;s &#8220;The Fallen Idol&#8221; (1948) was a few years ago at a theater in Los Angeles, which was probably showing a new print in conjunction with the release of the Criterion Collection edition, which I just picked up at a local used [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=waynemelton.wordpress.com&blog=1563467&post=322&subd=waynemelton&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

Funny Ha-Ha?
“Funny People” puts comedians on the hook but lets them go.
by Wayne Melton
As Joe Pesci might ask, does the title mean the people are funny ha-ha, or just funny?
The answer is both, to a degree. Judd Apatow’s &#8220;Funny People,&#8221; his third comic-drama after “The 40-Year-Old Virgin” and “Knocked Up,” shows his sentimental streak growing [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=waynemelton.wordpress.com&blog=1563467&post=318&subd=waynemelton&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
