Finally, we participate in and endorse a culture of stark and impenetrable walls. But there is very little in reality dividing Macleod...
...Snow Angels.” His characters emphasize once again the cold reality of human violence, which can even occur in the name of love. Based on Stewart O’Nan’s novel of the same name, the film takes place in a nameless small town. The story centers on Arthur Parkinson (Michael Angarano, “Seabiscuit”), a high school trombone player who must deal with the separation of his parents and the crumbling marriage of his ex-babysitter, Annie (Kate Beckinsale, “Underworld”). As Arthur’s parents...
