Away From Her (8/10)

This is a film directed by Sarah Polley about an older married couple who deal with separation when the wife is diagnosed with Alzheimer's and goes to a nursing home. Handled in a very mature fashion, not like a tv-movie. In the cast is Julie Christie, Gordon Pinsent, Olympia Dukakis. I think Christie has an excellent shot at an Oscar nomination.

The TV Set (7/10)

David Duchovny and Sigourney Weaver in a movie that satires the process of a TV pilot from casting until finished product. Duchovny watches as his original vision of the show is ripped apart by bitchy Weaver. Pretty funny stuff, if a little obvious. Has an annoying subplot that doesn't work.
