Julie Delpy's '2 Days in Paris' Explores the Hard Parts of Romancenew
Delpy's zippy romantic comedy is all entanglement: It's what happens when you’ve spent the past few days in Venice with explosive diarrhea, and the next 48 hours brings only language barriers, close quarters with the parents, and a virtual Yellow Pages of ex-lovers.

Foxx Elevates Middling Biopicnew
Jamie Foxx, as Ray Charles, brings to this movie what the director occasionally would prefer to leave behind -- the anger and the callousness, the cunning behind the charm. If only the movie contained half as much life as Foxx, it would be something truly remarkable.

Robin Williams Messes With Memoriesnew
This satisfyingly eerie thriller is concerned with the moral implications of recording entire lives and what those lives ultimately mean once they're edited down into sweet, bowdlerized, easily digested movies.

The French flick plays like a parody of suspense movies, then occasionally becomes serious, then boring, then makes a jarring 180, then frustrates, then gets vaguely interesting again.
