Helen Mirren, James McAvoy, Paul Giamatti in The Last Station

AFI FEST 2009, Sat., Nov. 7 at the Santa Monica Laemmle Theater 4 on 2nd Street in Santa Monica.
AFI FEST 2009 comes to a close with the following screenings:

Michael Hoffman&#8217;s The Last Station, which is set near the end of Leo Tolstoy&#8217;s life, has been getting lots of Oscar buzz for its stars: James McAvoy as Tolstoy&#8217;s assistant; Helen Mirren as Tolstoy&#8217;s wife; and Christopher Plummer as the verbose author of the never-ending War and Peace.
Lucien Castaing-Taylor and Ilisa Barbash&#8217;s Sweetgrass offers a look at sheepherding in Montana’s Absaroka-Beartooth mountain range. Apart from the sheep and the high peaks, there&#8217;s no  connection to Brokeback Mountain.
Stéphane Aubier and Vincent Patar&#8217;s stop-motion [...]]]></description>

Inspired by  a true incident that occurred in Northern Ireland in the mid-1970s, while placing the real-life participants in a fictitious set-up, Five Minutes of Heaven stars Liam Neeson as Alistair Little, the former leader of an Ulster Volunteer Force cell who, as a teenager, shot in the head a young Catholic man, James Griffin, in front of his 11-year-old brother, Joe Griffin (played by  British Independent Film Award winner, and Golden Globe and BAFTA nominee James Nesbitt).
Written by Guy Hibbert (who wrote Omagh, winner of the Irish Film &#38; Television Academy&#8217;s 2004 best film award) and directed by Oliver Hirschbiegel (above right, whose Downfall was nominated for a best foreign-language film Oscar), Five Minutes of Heaven explores [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
The fact that Dustin Lance Black will &#8212; at least for the time being &#8212; be better known for his sexual activities than for his Milk screenplay says more about our society (or societies, since the thing has gone global) than about Black himself, whose sex life &#8212; with or without condoms; with or without a camera &#8212; should be his business and nobody else&#8217;s.
Some have tried to turn the online leak of Black&#8217;s sex photos into something of momentous importance for gay rights, the spread of HIV, etc. In truth, except for Black and his sex partner those photos are irrelevant. Really, will anyone now decide to fight against marriage equality simply because of Black&#8217;s sexual life? Will gay [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Liam Neeson, 56, whose wife Natasha Richardson  died last March 18, is set to begin work on a remake of Clash of the Titans.
Neeson will play Zeus, the ancient Greeks&#8217; top god (Zeus is akin to the Latin Deus, God), a role played by Laurence Olivier in the 1981 film. 
Louis Leterrier, of The Incredible Hulk, is set to direct the new version, which is scheduled to begin production in the United Kingdom later this month.
Also in the new Clash of the Titans are  Ralph Fiennes playing  Hades, ruler of the underworld, Luke Treadaway (of Brothers of the Head), Mads Mikkelsen, Sam Worthington, Gemma Arterton, and Alexa Davalos. This will mark Neeson&#8217;s and Fiennes&#8217; first film reunion [...]]]></description>

Taken (2008)
Direction: Pierre Morel
Screenplay: Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen
Cast: Liam Neeson, Maggie Grace, Famke Janssen, Xander Berkeley, Katie Cassidy, Olivier Rabourdin
&#160;

&#160;

Taken, directed by Pierre Morel and written by Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen, is a remarkably effective action thriller. Liam Neeson stars as Bryan Mills, an ex-CIA agent who quit his job so as to salvage his relationship with his daughter, Kim (Maggie Grace). Bryan had already sacrificed his marriage to his (by now) ex-wife Lenore (Famke Janssen) and doesn&#8217;t want to repeat the same mistake.
After Bryan saves a flippant singer from a would-be attacker, he encounters a situation infinitely more dangerous than his CIA assignments. Though hesitant, Bryan allows Kim to go to Paris with her friend [...]]]></description>

Alfred Kinsey (1894-1956) and his wife Clara  had four children. Only three are shown in Bill Condon&#8217;s biopic Kinsey. Their firstborn, Don, died from diabetes shortly before his fifth birthday. Clara Kinsey died in 1982 at the age of 83.
In the film, Clyde Martin (Peter Sarsgaard) is seen seducing Alfred Kinsey. According to Kinsey&#8217;s biographers, Kinsey pursued Clyde, who became the  researcher&#8217;s somewhat reluctant sex partner.
Kinsey never saw his father after his parents divorced. In the film, Kinsey is shown at his father&#8217;s home after his mother dies.
Indiana University came up with the money necessary to fund Kinsey&#8217;s research after the Rockefeller Foundation withdrew its support due to pressure from right-wing and religious leaders. In the film, the [...]]]></description>

KINSEY Review: Part I
Like the controversial hero of another biopic, Dustin Hoffman&#8217;s Lenny Bruce in Lenny, Kinsey is ostracized because he dares tell the uncomfortable truth to a hypocritical society that wants none of it. But unlike Hoffman&#8217;s neurotic and abrasive stand-up comedian, Condon&#8217;s Kinsey is an eccentric but wholly likable fellow. And therein lies the film&#8217;s biggest flaw.
Since this is a (mostly) American movie, we can accept hunky Liam Neeson playing the role of the hound-faced Alfred Kinsey, a carbon copy of actor Tom Ewell (the quasi-errant husband in The Seven Year Itch). But it is difficult to accept a sex-obsessed hero who is hardly ever shown enjoying the pleasures of sex. Even if Kinsey was more interested in [...]]]></description>
