Feb . 1: Brothers (Drama War 2009)
Jim
Sheridan's film, adapted from Susanne Bier's 2004 movie,
concerns Captain Sam Cahill
(Tobey
Maguire), a Marine who receives orders to ship out for yet
another tour of duty in
Afghanistan. But before he leaves his supportive wife, Grace
(Natalie Portman), and his two
elementary-school-age daughters, Sam picks up his black
sheep brother, Tommy (Jake
Gyllenhaal), who has finished a prison stretch for robbing a
bank. While overseas, Sam's aircraft
gets
shot down and he's thought dead. Back home, irresponsible
Tommy gets his act together
in
order to be an anchor for Grace and the girls, and the two
grow emotionally -- though not
physically -- close. As the family finally begins to make
peace with their grief, soldiers rescue
POW
Sam and he returns home. Sam's experiences overseas have
caused him such emotional
turmoil, he has a difficult time adjusting to civilian life,
and soon his fear and paranoia manifest
themselves in the
form of jealousy for his brother's relationship
Feb. 8: Its Complicated (Comedy Romance 2009)
Writer/director Nancy Meyers ('Something's Gotta Give,' 'The
Holiday') directs Meryl Streep,
Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin in 'It's Complicated,' a
comedy about love, divorce and
everything in between. Jane (Streep) is the mother of three
grown kids, owns a thriving Santa
Barbara bakery/restaurant and has--after a decade of
divorce--an amicable relationship with
her
ex-husband, attorney Jake (Baldwin). But when Jane and Jake
find themselves out of town
for
their son's college graduation, things start to get
complicated. An innocent meal together
turns into the unimaginable--an affair. With Jake remarried
to the much younger Agness (Lake
Bell), Jane is now, of all things, the other woman. Caught
in the middle of their renewed
romance is Adam (Martin), an architect hired to remodel
Jane's kitchen. Healing from a divorce
of
his own, Adam starts to fall for Jane, but soon realizes
he's become part of a love triangle.
Should Jane and Jake move on with their lives, or is love
truly lovelier the second time around?
It's...complicated.

racially and economically divided in
the
wake of apartheid. Believing he can bring his people
