Based on the Laura Zigman novel, Animal Husbandry, Someone Like You is a romantic comedy about a late night TV talent coordinator named Jane (Ashley Judd), whose luck in love is predictably bad. So predictable is her misfortune, in fact, that she has devised a pervasive theory on the subject, revolving around the notion that men are like cattle. read the full review | |

 | | 35. He's Just Not That Into You | | | Starring: Jennifer Aniston Ben Affleck Director: Ken Kwapis | | Format: Blu-Ray DVD Release Date: 6/2/2009 |  | He's Just Not That Into You - Blu-Ray DVD Review By: Brandon Cozart - Blogcritics.org Reviews Published on: 7/9/2009 5:20 AM | | Dating is, perhaps, the oldest game there is. We all play it at some point, devoting countless hours and resources to it, only to fail a majority of the time. We enlist the help of others—friends, books, websites, seminars, etc.—but even with such help we still end up utterly lost. There doesn’t seem to be a fixed set of rules, and when we think we’ve found a set, countless exceptions pop up and throw said “rules” out the window. Aiding and abetting our frustrated attempts are well-meaning friends who encourage us through assurances of our likability, our attractiveness, the other person’s stupidity, etc. So why do we continue to play this game? We play in hopes of finding that ever-elusive thing called love. read the full review | |

 | | 39. Synecdoche New York | | | Starring: Philip Seymour Hoffman Samantha Morton Director: Charlie Kaufman | | Format: DVD Release Date: 3/10/2009 |  | Synecdoche, New York - DVD Review By: Matt McKillop - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 2/27/2009 5:25 PM | |
If it weren't for Charlie Kaufman, the phrase "famous screenwriter" would be an oxymoron. Most people, even true movie geeks, probably couldn't pick him out of a police lineup, but he's the only writer in Hollywood whose name is used to promote his movies. From Being John Malkovich and Adaptation to Confessions of a Dangerous Mind and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, each of Kaufman's movies is a singular experience -- quirky, affecting, and humorous. Kaufman's renown as a screenwriter even surpasses that of Quentin Tarantino's back in the mid-nineties, when he penned a string of critical and box-office hits that included Reservoir Dogs, True Romance, and Pulp Fiction. read the full review | |

 | | 40. Keeping Mum | | | Starring: Maggie Smith Kristin Scott Thomas | | Format: DVD Release Date: 2/20/2007 |  | Keeping Mum - DVD By: Chris Cabin - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 2/9/2007 10:11 PM | |
With the fall season comes the expected push of European comedies and quirky family melodramas and 2006, no particularly special year, has its own bounty on the horizon. The first of the batch, preceding Confetti and Driving Lessons, is Keeping Mum, a slightly raunchier take on Mary Poppins, with the elder Poppins being played by none other than the great Maggie Smith. As with most films, there's a tiny twist. read the full review | |
