Brothers Bloom
The Brothers Bloom is the magnificent, melancholy, borderline-screwball love story about the lives of two con men, Bloom (Adrien Brody) and Stephen (Mark Ruffalo, from Brick’s Rian Johnson. Their target? Penelope (Rachel Weisz), an eccentric millionaires and a lonely, epileptic photographer who “collects hobbies.” The Brothers Bloom is a smart and fast-paced Wes Anderson-style con movie / love story that is equal parts suspenseful and heart-breaky. — May 15


(500) Days of Summer
Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Zooey Deschanel, 500 Days of Summer is a story about love, but it’s not a love story. Like few movies I’ve ever seen, accurately captures the range of emotions that accompany falling in love and then having your heart shattered. And while the dialogue is witty, and real, and funny, and smart, it’s director Marc Webb’s attention to the details that make 500 Days of Summer such a deeply authentic movie. There are a lot of movie about love, and even more that think they are, but very few successfully capture that helpless uncertainty attendant to a new relationship — the overwhelming need to pin it down, to label it, to gain a sense of security, to know that what he or she is feeling is not fleeting. You must see this movie.— July 15
