Milk
Starring:
Sean Penn, Emile Hirsch, James Franco, Josh Brolin, Diego Luna
Review:
Maybe you don't know a damn thing about gay activist Harvey
Milk. Maybe you ought to know that President-elect Barack Obama
isn't the only community organizer who went on to make a
difference. Maybe thoughtful filmmaking, no matter how incendiary
and intimate, isn't worth squat at an infantilized multiplex. Stop
me now. There's really no maybe about Milk, directed with
a poet's eye by Gus Van Sant from a richly detailed script by
Big Love writer Dustin Lance Black. It's a total triumph,
brimming with humor, heart, sexual heat, political provocation and
a crying need to stir things up, just like Harvey did. If there's a
better movie around this year, with more bristling purpose, I sure
as hell haven't seen it.

What Just Happened?
Starring:
Robert De Niro, Bruce Willis, John Turturro
Review:
Think of it as old Hollywood's version of Entourage, an
insider's take on the greed and vanity that make Tinseltown tick.
Based on a memoir by producer Art Linson, the movie stars Robert De
Niro, actually good for a change (Die! Die! Righteous
Kill!), as a stressed producer. He's got a Sean Penn movie
that's tanking at test screenings because a dog gets shot in
close-up. He also has a film about to start with Bruce Willis, who
balks at dieting and shaving his beard. ?The fucker is as fat and
hairy as ever,? De Niro moans to John Turturro, as Willis' agent.
Willis is a hoot as a nightmare version of himself. There are funny
scenes, nicely directed by Barry Levinson. Other stuff, involving
De Niro's ex-wife (Robin Wright Penn) and their daughter (Kristen
Stewart), are not much of anything....

Review: 'Milk'
Biopic about the first openly gay man to hold a major political office in America is bolstered by Sean Penn's superb performance as Harvey Milk.
