Review: I Care a Lot, Supernova, and Flora & Ulysses

Unfortunately you will probably not care much for I Care a Lot. In spite of the star power of Colin Firth and Stanley Tucci is not enough to make Supernova a stellar film. Finally there’s the family friendly Flora & Ulysses.

More about I Care a Lot:

Poised with sharklike self-assurance, Marla Grayson is a professional, court-appointed guardian for dozens of elderly wards whose assets she seizes and cunningly bilks through dubious but legal means. It’s a well-oiled racket that Marla and her business-partner and lover Fran use with brutal efficiency on their latest “cherry,” Jennifer Peterson — a wealthy retiree with no living heirs or family. But when their mark turns out to have an equally shady secret of her own and connections to a volatile gangster, Marla is forced to level up in a game only predators can play — one that’s neither fair, nor square.

Starring: Rosamund Pike, Peter Dinklage, Eiza Gonzalez, Dianne Wiest, and Chris Messina.

More about Supernova:

More about Flora & Ulysses:

Disney’s “Flora & Ulysses” is a delightful comedy-adventure based on the Newbery Award-winning book about 10-year old Flora, an avid comic book fan and a self-avowed cynic, whose parents have recently separated.
