Movie Review: The Tree of Life
Terrence Malick’s latest poetic opus asks the big questions, and Malick offers his best guess what the answers might be in “The Tree of Life,” a movie that dares to place a family tragedy in the context of the entire existence of the universe. Malick has been pointing toward this moment for most of his career, ever since the problems of three people in “Days of Heaven” (1978) didn’t amount to a hill of beans, not compared to the biblical wrath of nature. In “The Thin Red Line” (1998), the battle for Guadalcanal was offset by the natural beauty of the island, and the dispassionate observation of the native peoples, wondering who the hell these crazy soldiers were, killing each other over a piece of “property,” as Sean Penn’s Sgt. Welsh so adeptly put it in that film.
"The Tree of Life" opens with an on-screen passage from the Book of Job that alludes to the Creation. The story of the much put-upon Job is a good reference point for the film and its primary male characters, Jack O’Brien (Sean Penn plays him as an adult, Hunter McCracken as a young boy), and Jack’s father (Brad Pitt). Most of the dialogue in the film comes from voice over, as the characters comment and reflect upon their lives. At one point, Jack pleads, “I want to know what you are.... I want to see what you see.” Is he asking this of his dad, or of the Heavenly Father? Either way, it works. Later, having carefully observed his own father’s behavior, he asks “Why should I be good if you aren’t?” and, “who are we to you?” Again, the questions could be asked of God just as easily as of Jack’s stern father.
Malick’s idea of what those answers might be is made clear through a nearly 30-minute detour near the beginning of the film, depicting the Big Bang and early development of Earth. This sequence, developed in collaboration with special effects master Douglas Trumbull (“2001,” “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”) is visually stunning. Meteors and the destruction of the dinosaurs make the case that our pitiful existence is small potatoes when placed in the context of universal time and space.
But then again, I think Malick finds this both humbling and ennobling at once. The camera, always swishing back and forth as if showing us half-remembered experiences from long ago, finds beauty in a newborn baby’s delicate foot, the steel cathedrals of Houston, sparklers on the Fourth of July, zipping through a house with childlike abandon, back-alley chases and dusk in small-town Texas, when the streets are lit by the porch lights and lamps of prairie homes. We are neither more important than, yet just as important as, the cataclysmic events and forces of nature that shape our world. If “The Tree of Life” asks the Big Question about what our role in the cosmos is, I have a feeling that Malick thinks God’s answer might be “I love all things equally.”

Movie Review: "The Art of Getting By"
It’s a problem for the movie when your main character, the guy you’re supposed to identify with, is no more engaging than a piece of cardboard. But that’s what’s happened in “The Art of Getting By,” a curiously lifeless film about what should be one of the most turbulent times in a young man’s life – high school.Freddie Highmore (“Finding Neverland”) is George, a sullen art student who’s decided to stop doing his homework because, well, there are so many other horrible things happening in the world that homework doesn’t matter. Global warming, war, that Hieronymus Bosch painting on his wall… they’re all getting him down, man. Emma Roberts (Julia’s niece) is Sally, the smoking (literally, she smokes, which makes her dangerous, I guess) hot girl that in so many words asks George to be her boyfriend. But he turns her down, presumably out of shyness. I guess I can relate to that.
No one listens to anyone else in this movie! Even when George finally starts to admit how much of a wanker he’s been to everyone, his mom cuts him off to talk about her divorce. Now, George could be one of those charming slackers if only he were allowed to say anything remotely witty, or smile, or even remove his fists from the overcoat he wears inside and outside at all hours. But instead, he sulks his way through the movie, crying over his own inaction. We’re asked to feel sorry for him when Sally hooks up with an older guy, and when George finally delivers his equivalent of the “Manhattan” closing scene to Sally, it’s supposed to be a big moment. Instead, it’s as flat as the gray clouds that hang over the Hudson.
Movie Review: "Mr. Popper's Penguins"
“Mr. Popper’s Penguins” is a pleasant pastime of a pelicula that’s nevertheless passed from your psyche within a few hours. An adaptation of the 1930s children’s book mostly in name, Jim Carrey plays a wealthy New York real estate broker tasked with taking over Tavern on the Green so his bosses can – of course – tear it down and put up a high rise. But wait… Didn’t anyone tell him the restaurant went bankrupt in 2009 and now operates as a gift shop? Ah, never mind.Popper, who grew up with a largely absent dad, receives a crate of penguins from Antarctica as part of his father’s last will. The little tuxes naturally create havoc in his fashionable apartment, which should please all the five to seven-year-olds in the audience. Instead of turning them in to the zoo right away, or sending them back where they belong, or even wondering why his explorer father would think it a good idea to send penguins to Manhattan in the first place, Popper delights the birds with videos of Charlie Chaplin, in whom they recognize a kindred spirit of some sort. If “Mr. Popper’s Penguins” does nothing else other than get a handful of parents and kids more interested in seeing Chaplin, then I’m grateful for its existence.
But back to the movie. Popper, who is divorced from his wife (Carla Gugino), is naturally too busy to give his kids the attention they deserve, but when they go crazy over the penguins, he sees a way back into their hearts. Popper also pines for his ex, with whom he has a still chummy relationship. Will they get back together? What of Tavern on the Green? You probably know the answers.
Carrey isn’t as hyper-manic as he was back in the days of Ace Ventura, and that suits me just fine. But he sure seems like he’s struggling to keep from breaking out the talking butt gag. It must be painful to keep all that bottled inside. Maybe that accounts for the lines on his face. Either that, or he’s getting older, and I am, too.

Movie Review: "Nora's Will" ("Cinco dias sin Nora")
In Mexico, José, an aging divorcee, finds his ex-wife dead of an apparent suicide on the eve of Passover. Though she must be buried by 3 p.m. according to Jewish law, José refuses to do so without their only son present. And so Nora is kept on (dry) ice for five days.
As family and friends arrive to pay their respects and prepare for the funeral, Nora’s “will” is revealed. The will in this case is not a piece of paper, but rather her last wishes. Divorced from José for 20+ years, the family rarely sees one other. But Nora, who had been suicidal for years, planned her exit carefully to get everyone together for one more Passover dinner with her. Even if she’s not around to enjoy it.
“Nora’s Will” has a dry humor about it. There are gently comic scenes as José, an atheist himself, thumbs his nose at the religious rituals the rest of his family observes. And there’s a knowing recognition of the familial tension that comes from different belief systems. But even after José discovers a secret his ex-wife was hiding that no one else knew of, he makes a choice to give of himself and carry out her final wishes. The film ends with José’s wistful, silent affirmation of love.
“Nora’s Will” is currently playing at the Santikos Bijou.

Always...Patsy Cline is based on the true story of Patsy Cline's friendship with Houston housewife Louise Seger. Having first heard Cline on the "Arthur Godfrey Show" in 1957, Seger became an immediate and avid fan of Cline's. In 1961 when Cline went to Houston for a show, Seger and her buddies arrived early and, by coincidence, met Cline who was traveling alone. The two women struck up a friendship that lasted until Cline's untimely death in a plane crash in 1963. The show runs through June 19.
