the namesake

maybe movie hop:
black snake moan

the family stone

as far as i’m concerned, this was the best movie i’d seen in about a month. who knew? the family stone was in contention for well on its way to "great xmas movie" until some slight hiccups near the end. but no feel-good holiday movie can make it without an ending that ties up neatly -- so it’s hardly a sin. filled with witty dialogue and hilarious moments, the family stone turned out to be an unexpected gem.

oh, some unsuspecting members of the audience felt ambushed by the not quite uplifting ending, so criers and people with real human feelings and emotions beware.
