The Sunday Drive 9/16/12


3. Bachelorette
The movie for those who thought Bridesmaids needed to be a whole lot meaner, Bachelorette's talented quartet of funny ladies, Kirsten Dunst, Lizzy Caplan, Isla Fisher, and Rebel Wilson are enough to make this a film worth watching at least once.
2. Lawless
While fans of Matt Bondurant's violent and poetic novel may balk at the liberties taken in John Hillcoat's moonshine-soaked adaptation, a dynamic cast, rowdy spirit, and energetic gangster action make Lawless one of the most enjoyable movies of the season.
1. Hello I Must Be Going
Melanie Lynskey makes a strong bid for Oscar consideration with her subtle and tender performance as a struggling divorcee who enters into a reckless relationship with a man barely half her age. 

DVD Pick of the Week: Snow White and the Huntsman
Nearly a polar opposite of Mirror Mirror in just about every way, Snow White and the Huntsman is a dark and gloomy medieval fairy tale with stellar special effects and immaculate artistic design. While Kristen Stewart is a bit muted, Chris Hemsworth nails his second super heroic performance of the summer.
