Zach Braff (from the TV show Scrubs) stars in his writing/directing debut, Garden State--normally a doomed act of hubris, but Braff pulls it off with unassuming charm. An emotionally numb actor in L.A., Andrew (Braff) comes back to New Jersey after nine years away for his mother's funeral. Andrew avoids his bitter father (Ian Holm, The Sweet Hereafter) and joins old friends (including the superb Peter Sarsgaard, Boys Don't Cry) in a round of parties. Along the way he meets a girl (Natalie Portman, Beautiful Girls) with demons of her own; bit by bit the two offer each other a little healing. Plotwise, Garden State is familiar stuff, a cross between The Graduate and a Meg Ryan movie, but Braff has an eye for goofy but resonant visual images, an ear for lively dialogue, and a great cast. The result is surprisingly fresh and funny. --Bret Fetzer

Hale Manor's Everything Moves Alone DISC1 (2 Disc Special Edition)
Manufacturer: CustomFlix ProductGroup: DVD Binding: DVD ASIN: B000N8V48Q Release Date: 2007-02-05 |
Description
From the creators of The Land of College Prophets comes the dramedy Everything Moves Alone "Like Sideways meets the Garden State"-IMDB. Everything Moves Alone opens in a sleepy New England town where Scotch (Philip Guerette), a recently discharged soldier, arrives at a bus depot with the vague plan of crashing with his long-estranged older brother. Scotch spies a creepy yet interesting character stealing luggage (Thomas Edward Seymour), who then offers Scotch a ride into town if he will assist in dropping dirt and a frog-shaped flower pot into another man's car. Scotch, who is clearly several cards short of a full deck, complies and immediately earns the wrath of the car owner McDunley (Matt Ford), a bearish sourpuss who runs the local video store and who has a mysterious long-running feud with Anderson, the luggage-thief who quickly becomes Scotch's new best friend. "It is a complex picture of small town life." Hollywood is Burning film reviews. This 2 disc Special Edition contains The Director's cut of the film, a documentary, casting video, early promotional trailers, deleted scenes and the Land of College Prophets preview.DVD:
