Decade-Dense: The 60 Most Memorable Films of 1999  Film ReviewHe’s Just Not That Into Youby Renee Scolaro Mora[6.Feb.09] :. He’s Just Not That Into You is a standard chick flick, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing: it’s cute and comic and organized according to fixed, mostly ancient gender roles.  NewsOur sob stories: Beyond ‘Marley’ — tear-jerking music, art, TV, plays and booksby Julia Keller [Chicago Tribune (MCT)][14.Jan.09] :. Sad sells. Let’s put it another way: Somewhere, Aristotle is chortling into the sleeve of his tunic. It was the Greek philosopher and literary critic, after all, who foresaw the success of... Marley & Meby Cynthia Fuchs[24.Dec.08] :. Granting Marley & Me's source in John Grogan's columns, the dog's service as metaphor in the movie is both obvious and uninspired. Talk, Talk, Talk: December 2008by Bill Gibron[12.Sep.08] :. Just like the end of an inspiring speech that may or may not succeed in making its point, these final four weeks before 2009 tend to define or defeat the entire awards season purpose.

Friends - The Complete Series Collectionby Nikki Tranter[15.Dec.06] :. Returning to Friends, as the cliché goes, is like visiting an old friend.

For all that goes wrong with The Break-Up, the most compelling question it raises has to do with the state of the romantic comedy. Friends with Money (2006)by Cynthia Fuchs[7.Apr.06] :. 'Poor Olivia' (Jennifer Aniston), as her friends call her, is actually poor, at least compared to them. Rumor Has It… (2005)by Cynthia Fuchs[23.Dec.05] :. For a couple of minutes, such slippage between movie myths and mythic divas looks like it might turn charming, or maybe clever. But it doesn't. Derailed (2005)by Cynthia Fuchs[11.Nov.05] :. While RZA and Xzibit deliver their own delights as performers, their characters' aggression and victimization are of a piece, and left to the white guy to sort out. Friends (Finale)by Brian James[18.May.04] :. Unlike most sitcoms, Friends was willing to tease out the inevitable happy ending over its entire decade of existence.
