 | | 1. Little Miss Sunshine | | | Starring: Steven Carell Greg Kinnear Director: Jonathan Dayton Valerie Faris | | Format: DVD Release Date: 3/6/2007 | User Rating: 4.5 |  | Little Miss Sunshine - DVD By: Edward Perkis - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 12/21/2006 11:29 PM | | The family heads from Albuquerque to California in a yellow VW van so Olive can compete in the titular pageant. Like a left turn when you have your right signal blinking, the movie then veers away from the expected and becomes a comic road movie, with some of the best dialogue and acting of the year. All six leads deserve recognition in the upcoming awards season, but Kinnear really stands out as a man who divides the world into two camps, winners and losers, and does what he can to make sure his family is in the right camp. read the full review | |

 | | 9. Flash of Genius | | | Starring: Greg Kinnear Lauren Graham Director: Marc Abraham | | Format: DVD Release Date: 8/11/2009 | | Flash of Genius - DVD Review By: Emily McDonald - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 2/24/2009 6:36 PM | | Flash of Genius is the film based on the article in the New Yorker of the same name, which is based on the life of Bob Kearns. The film begins with Bob being apprehended by the police; they tell him "Your family is worried about you," and then take him with them. He babbles nonsensically and the audience can assume that he is being taken to the mental hospital. We then flash back three years to when Bob invented the "Kearns Blinking Eye Motor," which was to be used to create the intermittent wiper. After trying to sell his invention to Ford, they copy his model and lie about it. Approx. 12 years pass and Bob ends up having to represent himself in a court case against Ford after his lawyer quits, his wife leaves him, and his children lose hope in him. read the full review | |

Fast Food Nation | | | Starring: Greg Kinnear Director: Richard Linklater | | Format: DVD Release Date: 3/6/2007 | | Fast Food Nation - DVD By: Daniel Solomon - Cinema Blend DVD Reviews Published on: 3/12/2007 5:01 PM | | To pay another fifty cents to buy "organic" is to die slowly, and for the majority of regular people, guilt can't cost more than a nickel. But deep down, we know that a few terrible things had to happen before the burger hit our plate. So if everybody is in agreement that these food conglomerates are soulless, greedy, and deeply ingratiated in Faustian deals, then what is the point in telling us again' The answer is, this movie really doesn't. read the full review | |
