...Passion of the Christ has come and gone. So has Spider-Man 2. But unless you live in western Michigan, you've probably never heard of this year's longest-running movie, which opened way back on Dec. 5, 2003. That's because Uncle Nino, a sentimental tale starring Joe Mantegna and Anne Archer as a stressed-out couple emotionally disconnected from their kids and each other, is playing at only one theater--in Grand Rapids. What began as a two-week engagement has turned into the longest test-marketing of a film in U.S. history. Director Bob Shallcross...

While my fellow students, and especially my professor, were extremely supportive, I myself did not have enough of an understanding of the situation to even ask for the help I really needed...
...newest, The Aviator, a film chronicling the life of Hollywood wonderboy Howard Hughes. There is no question that Martin Scorsese is a brilliant and gifted filmmaker, but his new biopic is lifeless—a word rarely applied to the always vital Scorsese. It is a film without passion seemingly made solely to finally get Scorsese the Oscar his previous work has so richly deserved...
