Hello

 

To go along with Valentine's Day, we have "Just Like Heaven" for you this week, a romantic comedy with Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo. Elizabeth, a workaholic female doctor "haunts" her old apartment as a spirit after suffering an accident she can't remember. The new occupant of that apartment, David, a lonely architect, is not too pleased with the cohabiting spirit, but romance blossoms as the two start to investigate Elizabeth's past life. This is not just a Valentine's Day chick flick; it should also be quite enjoyable for the guys.

 

Our second film this week, "Everything is Illuminated" with Elijah Wood, is a bit of counter-programming. It is a darker, stranger tale of a young American Jew who travels to the Ukraine trying to investigate his grandfathers past and find the woman who saved him from the Nazis during World War II. He receives help on his quest from a bunch of local misfits. Something a little more serious than "Just like Heaven", but well worth watching.

Plot outlines

Just Like Heaven

David (Ruffalo) gets more than he bargained for when he rents a swish San Francisco apartment — it comes complete with a ghost only he can see, former tenant Elizabeth (Witherspoon). She’s not about to leave, either, as Elizabeth’s convinced she’s not actually dead yet, so she enlists a reluctant David’s help to find out what happened to her.

 

Everything is Illuminated

Jonathan (Wood), a neurotic American Jew, travels to the Ukraine to find a woman he believes helped his grandfather escape from the Nazis. His guide is Alex (Hutz), an idealistic local with a garbled grasp of English and a similarly warped take on Western culture. Driven by Alex’s anti-Semitic grandfather, they take a road trip of discovery…
