I got a call from my grandmother last summer. She is eighty-eight and was curious about something: She wanted my analysis of The Sixth Sense's phenomenal box-office domination. Now, my grandmother is as sharp as a steak knife. One time we were watching Jeopardy! together and she nailed the correct answer to a question; the answer was "Who are the Spice Girls?" But still, this box-office thing bothered me. My grandmother doesn't even go to movies anymore; I don't think she's actually seen one since my little brother and I tricked her into taking us to Meatballs in 1979. So how--through what eerie mode of microchip implantation or Orwellian osmosis--did she wind up tracking the fate of Hollywood product? Then again, how could she not? As we all know, box-office tallies have replaced batting averages in the national consciousness. Which is fine--no reason to get snooty and self-righteous about it. It's just that after you've seen the White House blow up, the pug crack wise, the boat ram... See less

The Movie: Every so often in everyone's life, they walk out of a movie that they consider perfect. A movie where you don't sit through it and think to yourself how you might have done it all differently had you been the director. I have a couple of movies like that, and "The Shawshank Redemption" is one of them. I still remember clearly walking out of the theater in 1994 and thinking that I've just seen one of the best movies that I'll ever have the pleasure of sitting through. A movie so elegant and emotional that is perfect in its way of storytelling. A movie that is about how hope can never die. The movie earned several Academy Award nominations that were certainly well-deserved, but it left theaters all too quickly. Over the years though, it has gained a strong cult following. The movie stars Tim Robbins in one of his very best performances as Andrew Dufresne, a quiet man who is convicted of the murder of his wife and is sent to Shawshank prison. It's there he meets "Red", a... See less

* Genres: Comedy, Drama * Plot Outline A lonely shoe salesman and an eccentric performance artist struggle to connect in this unique take on contemporary life. * Plot Synopsis: 'Me and You and Everyone We Know' is a poetic and penetrating observation of how people struggle to connect with one another in an isolating and contemporary world. Christine Jesperson is a lonely artist and "Eldercab" driver who uses her fantastical artistic visions to draw her aspirations and objects of desire closer to her. Richard Swersey (John Hawkes), a newly single shoe salesman and father of two boys, is prepared for amazing things to happen. But when he meets the captivating Christine, he panics. Life is not so oblique for Richard's six-year-old Robby, who is having a risque Internet romance with a stranger, and his fourteen-year-old brother Peter who becomes the guinea pig for neighborhood girls -- practicing for their future of romance and marriage.
