The Tree of Life Terrence Malick contemplates the universe and nature, grace and grief and love - and the lives of a family in 1950s Texas - in his beautiful, kind of nutty masterpiece. With Brad Pitt, Jessica Chastain, Sean Penn, and yes, CG dinosaurs, too. PG-13 (violence, adult themes) - S.R.
The film is full of heart, passion, and human longing - but also a good dose of Existentialism. Think of it as Sartre's
Being And Nothingness-meets-Dr. Seuss. 1 hr. 40
No MPAA rating (mature themes, profanity, smoking, bourgeois hypocrisy) -
T.D. Midnight in Paris A lark, a souffle, a delightful shaggy-dog story with Owen Wilson as its shaggy hero. What's he doing in a Woody Allen movie about a B-list screenwriter who time-travels from the present to the Jazz Age? Disarming the audience with his wistful joie de vivre, that's what. With Rachel McAdams, Marion Cotillard, and Michael Sheen. 1 hr. 34 PG-13 (sexual references) - C.R.
Point Blank In the tradition of Tell No One (and starring Gilles Lellouche, who played one of its most colorful characters), this French thriller about a hardworking hospital nurse forced into action-hero mode is jolting, ricocheting stuff from the first scene to the last. 1 hr. 24 No MPAA rating (violence, intense action, profanity, adult themes) - S.R.
