A 'Switch' on male-female roles
![It looks like a chick flick and stars chick-flick staple Jennifer Aniston, but the little secret of "The Switch" is that it's actually about men. And not necessarily the Y- chromosome set at its finest. Men who can't be honest with themselves or the people around them. Men whose maturity levels are shown up by a child.](http://www.healthkey.com/media/thumbnails/story/2010-09/55716685-02092448-187105.jpg "It looks like a chick flick and stars chick-flick staple Jennifer Aniston, but the little secret of "The Switch\" is that it's actually about men.

Frankly My Dear» Orlando Sentinel – Frankly My Dear“Overkill is underrated,” Col. Hannibal Smith mutters to his “boys.” And thus are the excesses of The A-Team, past and present, forgiven. Well, most of them. Over-written, over-edited and over the top, this Frat Boys Go to War actio... -

Oscar's golden gals

'Hard Candy'
![Slick and stylish in its writing, direction and design, the psychological thriller "Hard Candy" stays fresh for as long as it does on the strength of powerful performances by Ellen Page and Patrick Wilson. Maddeningly exploitative, the film takes a provocative subject — pedophilia — and wraps it in a sterile, vacuum-sealed package, devoid of meaning.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2006-04/22930522.jpg "Slick and stylish in its writing, direction and design, the psychological thriller "Hard Candy\" stays fresh for as long as it does on the strength of powerful performances by Ellen Page and Patrick Wilson.

'Candy' Tackles 'Hard' Topics
Zap2It.comDon't let the name fool you -- "Hard Candy" isn't likely to appeal to viewers looking for something sweet and easily digestible.

'Running With Scissors'
![Why is it that sometimes there's nothing like a true story to ring false? It's a question for the ages, and there's plenty of time to ponder it during Ryan Murphy's adaptation of Augusten Burroughs' bestselling memoir, which lovingly and painstakingly recounts the years Burroughs spent as the legal charge of his crazy mother's crazier psychiatrist. "I guess it doesn't matter where I begin," says the narrator, just before the movie starts. "No one is going to believe me anyway." At that point, though, there's still no reason to suspect he's right.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2006-10/25986484.jpg "Why is it that sometimes there's nothing like a true story to ring false?

'Little Children'
![About halfway through Todd Field's deeply resonant "Little Children," adulterous suburban lovers Sarah and Brad (Kate Winslet and Patrick Wilson) indulge in something really naughty: They join in a moment of mass moral panic and righteous ostracism at the community pool. The cheerful chaos has just been obliterated by the discovery that the goggled and flippered town pervert, Ronnie McGorvey (Jackie Earle Haley), has slipped into the water among the kids. Sarah spots him first, then awareness sweeps over the crowd like a wave. Parents rush poolside, children scramble out of the water or get plucked out by the armpits, babies start to wail. It's as if the shark from "Jaws" had finally found a way to justify decades of collective primal fear. Wrapping their arms around their kids, Sarah and Brad instinctively join the crowd. They may be guilty, but McGorvey, mercifully for them, is guilty of much worse.](http://www.calendarlive.com/media/thumbnails/story/2006-10/25752897.jpg "About halfway through Todd Field's deeply resonant "Little Children,\" adulterous suburban lovers Sarah and Brad (Kate Winslet and Patrick Wilson) indulge in something really naughty: They join in a moment of mass moral panic and righteous ostracism at the community pool.

Kate Winslet: A play date with Oscar?
![The little children in "Little Children" are the adults, starting with Kate Winslet's Sarah, an overeducated suburban mom deadened by marriage to a slug who wears women's underwear on his head. Among the film's first words of dialogue are "Bad mommy! Bad mommy!," an invective from her daughter in the playground where Sarah eyes an equally un-adult househusband dubbed the "Prom King" by neighborhood women.](http://media.trb.com/media/thumbnails/story/2006-10/26183987.jpg "The little children in "Little Children\" are the adults, starting with Kate Winslet's Sarah, an overeducated suburban mom deadened by marriage to a slug who wears women's underwear on his head.
