P.S. I Love You isn’t as pathetically sappy as the title might sound. OK, maybe it is a little, but the film is still a serviceable romantic flick guaranteed to produce sighs and tears.
There’s not a shred of originality to be seen in The Hitcher, but it’s still enough of an assault on two of the five senses to tide you over till the next horror remake.
Hollywoodland is a well-acted, moody and sumptuously evocative recreation of LA’s seemingly glamorous underbelly circa the 1950s but tries entirely too hard to be Chinatown.
Waiting is a mix of perverse highs and hopelessly pathetic lows. Still, there's a few more of the former than the latter, enough to force a depraved smile. Just be sure to steer clear of the buttered popcorn at the concessions.

Mona Lisa Smile's lesson of the day--that the '50s were an oppressive decade for women--is delivered in an unoriginal manner through such shallow and unlikable characters that its message lacks an emotional punch.
