Hall Pass – Owen Wilson, Jason Sudeikis, Christina Applegate
Shelter – Julianne Moore, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Jeffrey DeMunn (limited)
Movie of the Week
Hall Pass
The Stars: Owen Wilson, Jason Sudeikis, Christina Applegate
The Plot: A married man (Wilson) is granted the opportunity to have an affair by his wife.
The Buzz: I’m happy to see, after a four-year hiatus, the Farrelly Brothers are back (Dumb & Dumber, There’s Something About Mary, Shallow Hal) — it’s also nice to see Owen Wilson back to his regular Hollywood hard-working self. I didn’t think the red-band trailer for Hall Pass was as funny as the green-band, but I am still holding out hope that the Farrelly’s and Mr. Wilson are as good a match-up in reality as they are on paper.

“Last Train Home”, from first-time Chinese-Canadian director Lixin Fan, doesn’t feel like a documentary. A few brief words on the screen establish the central backdrop — the annual migration of 130 million migrant workers from China’s coastal cities to their rural village homes in the west — but otherwise neither voiceover nor title card provide any exposition. And scenes captured by Fan’s camera couldn’t have conveyed more acutely the narrative’s central conflict than if they had been penned by a screenwriter.
Fan’s subjects are Changhua Zhang and Suqin Chen, a husband and wife who moved to the city 16 years ago to find work, leaving behind an infant daughter and, later, son. Back home under their grandmother’s care, Qin and her brother Yang see their parents only once a year during the Chinese New Year.
