...virtually no lines, her body language and eyes speak volumes. Plimpton is a nice physical match as well; her features link up nicely with those of de Ravin, all cleaned up here from her role on Lost and exuding a soft, sunshiny glow. The resemblance helps us appreciate the obvious psychic weight on Ally's father (Chris Cooper), a weary policeman who drives her everywhere so she doesn't have to take the subway...
...riding on a train with your boyfriend and the same guy who killed your mother might glower at you from a corner. Or worse. The final twist of Will Fetters' screenplay has already been revealed in some reviews (there are small clues in the film, but it is obvious only if you, like critics, see too many movies). It won't be here, although I see the temptation; it's challenging to accurately assess Remember Me's merits without discussing whether the end is grossly manipulative or fair use of wrenching emotional material.

...There aren't any third wave options when you're at the mall or the Exit 17 service plaza or your office or ... almost anywhere. In fact, the most obvious thing about Starbucks is its omnipresence. Intelligentsia sells via mail order. Counter Culture has stores, and even training centers, in Asheville, Charlotte and Durham, N.C.; Atlanta; New York City; and Washington, D.C. But there's just no way any farm-to-cup roaster can open up 60 stores, let alone 16,000-plus like Starbucks. But every town can have a café that, if it doesn...
