DVDs Prairie Miller reviewed
Save Me - Alternate Cover
As disagreements continue to brew between red states and blue states, and liberals and evangelicals, Save Me comes along as a story that may be in search of unlikely middle ground. Filmmaker Robert Cary, who last delved with great wit and warmth into the agony and ecstasy of Jewish relationship debacles in an urban setting with Ira And Abby, goes to nearly opposite extremes with Save Me.
Fireproof
Switching it up from the football field (Facing The Giants) to the firehouse with their latest movie, Fireproof, the evangelical filmmaker siblings Alex and Stephen Kendrick now join spiritually minded colleagues like Mel Gibson and Tyler Perry in transforming Satan's headquarters - the multiplexes - into ministries of religious healing between handfuls of popcorn.
Paul Blart: Mall Cop [Theatrical Release]
TV's King of Queens lovable working stiff Kevin James relocates to suburban Jersey in an even larger than life silly but good natured laughathon on the big screen as the corpulent crimefighter mall cop in question, who's more than a little obsessive about cornering anyone shopping around for trouble.
The Unborn
For any mother who has ever fretted over whether she's given birth to a devilish offspring, The Unborn should not be on your to-do list any time soon. On the other hand, the inexplicable PG-13 rating for this unruly kid occult outing, may be just the thing to give your children all sorts of exasperating ideas. Riddled with homicidal tots, interdenominational exorcists and something a whole lot more malevolent than the Nazis over at Auschwitz long ago, The Unborn, when not accidentally funny, scrapes the bottom of the barrel for new concepts in movie horror.
Changeling
A movie about female courage that's already attracting as much sexist disdain from the good ol' boys club of 95 percent all-male movie critics, Clint Eastwood's Changeling is about as feminist as Hollywood can get.
