This has to be the stupidest review I’ve read in a long while…what an ignoramus.

I did like Pippa Lee. Thought it was a very interested coming of age story for a middle aged woman. It was like she got another chance at adolescence and took it. Don’t know how wide it is opening on the 26th but I will find out and let you know.

Please let us know how you liked Pippa Lee. Was it a press screening you attended? I’m looking forward to seeing it but will likely have to wait for DVD since I don’t live in NYC or LA.

Elizabeth, I came into the comments section to say the exact same thing. While “The Blind Side” looks heartwarming and life-affirming and all, it reads way too close to “Nice White lady fixes the troubled Black boy!” for me to feel comfortable with it. I’ll wait to see what this site and Jezebel.com readers say before I decide to see it or not.

On the other hand, still waiting anxiously for “Precious” to come to my area.

Great post. When is the Robin Wright movie, The Private Lives of Pippa Lee coming out? I love Rebecca Miller AND Robin Wright.

I thought the trailer for It’s Complicated was effective. It looks good, like it’s a real solid, messy, central role for a woman in mid-life. Now of course, it’s Meryl, and she’s in her own category, but it bodes well for everyone (not only every woman).

Something about “The Blind Side” really skeeves me out. I got a real “White woman takes on black teenager as a ‘project’ because she is bored and rich” vibe out of the trailer, which really turned me off. I know it’s based on a true story so that makes me hate it less, but something about it feels really off to me.

I’m pretty excited about Nine, A Single Man, The Lovely Bones, Invictus… actually, most of the ones you’ve listed at the end of this. :)
