Joan Rivers A Piece of Work

A Piece of Work documents a year in the life of the legendary comedian, as filmmakers Ricki Stern and Anne Sundberg follow Rivers through her various gigs, her familial encounters, and her (rare) moments of introspection. It's clear right from the get-go that Stern and Sundberg have been granted an all-access pass into Rivers' day-to-day exploits, and the eye-opening peek into the 75-year-old's surprisingly busy existence certainly proves instrumental in initially capturing the viewer's interest.

Other Sister

The film stars Juliette Lewis as Carla, a rich San Francisco girl of 17 or 18 who has just returned home after several years in an institution. Her ambition is to train as a veterinarian's assistant. Her father (Tom Skerritt) thinks she should go for it, but her mother (Diane Keaton) is opposed. If there is a convincingly retarded character in the movie, it's the mother. She's borderline hysterical in insisting her daughter is not ready for junior college, dating, dancing, sex, living in her own apartment, or anything else.

Eastern Promises (2007)

Directed by David Cronenberg

Coming on the heels of 2005's A History of Violence, Eastern Promises certainly feels like an apt follow-up for director David Cronenberg - as the film possesses a number of similarities to its forebearer, including an expectedly deliberate pace, shocking bursts of violence, and an absolutely compelling turn from star Viggo Mortensen. This time around, Mortensen steps into the shoes of a Russian mobster who must placate his sinister boss (Armin Mueller-Stahl) while ensuring the safety of a well-meaning midwife (Naomi Watts).

Great movie.
