Remember Me - A Romantic, Angst-Rdden Film

By Susan Granger - Astute minds are guiding Robert Pattinson’s career. Segueing from his vampire role in the "Twilight" franchise, he’s transitioned into tortured, misunderstood young man mode.

In the summer of 2001, moody, rebellious Tyler Hawkins (Pattinson) is still haunted by the fact that his idolized older brother committed suicide on his 22nd birthday, a tragedy that split his wealthy Park Avenue family. While Tyler has reached an understanding with his now re-married mother, Diane Hirsch (Lena Olin), and adores his 11 year-old sister Caroline (Ruby Jerins), he’s still at odds with his frosty, Wall Street lawyer father, Charles Hawkins (Pierce Brosnan). In fact, 21 year-old Tyler’s only friend seems to be his loud, obnoxious, thoroughly irritating roommate, Aiden (Tate Ellington).

Green Zone - Tempting Cynical Wags

By Susan Granger - If you haven’t had enough of the Iraqi War with the Oscar-winning "The Hurt Zone" and are intrigued by re-teaming of director Paul Greengrass with Matt Damon, star of his "Bourne Supremacy" and "Bourne Ultimatum," this political thriller interweaves fact with fiction delving into the chaotic early "shock and awe" days in Baghdad in 2003.

MID-AUGUST LUNCH (Pranzo di Ferragosto)

Girls just want to have fun, sings Cyndi Lauper, and there’s no logical reason to believe that "girls" ever outgrow this perfectly human desire. This point is driven home in just a brief seventy-five minutes by Gianni Di Gregorio, who wrote and directed "Mid-August Lunch" (Pranzo di Ferragosto, or "Ferragosto Holiday Lunch" in the Italian title). Using non-professional actors, the first-time director, who takes the major role and inhabits virtually every frame, delivers a witty, charming tale that may be too small-potatoes to afford it a top critical grade but is a diverting piece of pre-prandial entertainment.

Arizona Fishing Report Mar. 12, 2010

Rory's tips: - Once again we’ve experienced rain, snow and increased runoff this week, which likely impacted spawning and other fish activities – temporarily.

The forecast is for sunny skies and warmer weather this week -- hurrah! Everything should bust loose, at least in the desert and mid-elevation waters.

The Vernal equinox (spring) is just around the corner -- March 20. The days are slightly longer by two minutes each day. Expect the bass and crappie action to pick up considerably during the warmer days with lots of sunshine. The stage is set, or soon will be.

Review & Trailer: AFTER . LIFE

If ever a product placement for an industry permeates a movie without the industry’s even being mentioned, trust "After.Life" to be a commercial for the cremation business. We witness the gruesome method of one possibly psychotic mortician-how he drains the blood, sews the mouth closed, puts huge needles into the necks of the dead as part of the embalming process, then adds rouge and lipstick to make corpses look as though they were live. All of this is carried on quietly by a calm, seasoned undertaker who has papered the wall of his laboratory with the people he has worked on.
