Blue Crush taught us surfer-girls can have guts and soul. Now, considerably raising the stakes and the bar, Soul Surfer shows us just how courageous and soulful real-life surfer girls can be. Please do not allow Carrie Underwood's cameos to distract you from Soul Surfer's true heroine--Bethany Hamilton, on whose real-life triumph the movie is based. At 13, Bethany Hamilton lost part of her arm to a hungry shark, and her battle for survival garnered world-wide attention. The loss of the arm represents the loss of Bethany's dream: she aspired to a career as a pro surfer, and she had been well on her way. "At low ebb, Bethany discovers no surfing, no self. Travelling with a youth group to Phuket, Thailand, in the wake of the tsunami, Bethany discovers the possibility of making a difference in others' lives, and she pursues recovery and career with new-found purpose and resolve. The results: inspirational drama, and great surfing. In Soul Surfer's climactic scenes, we witness Bethany pushing her physical limits for the sake of inspiring others. In these scenes, we also credit director Sean McNamara with understanding the difference between "homiletic" and inspirational and keeping the most soulful parts of Soul Surfer genuinely tear-worthily inspirational."The Hamilton family collaborated in Soul Surfer's development, adding parts of the story Bethany had felt unwilling or unready to discuss in her autobiography. Welcome (almost) grown-up AnnaSophia Robb, who pours her own heart and soul into her portrayal of Bethany Hamilton. Welcome back Helen Hunt, beautiful and beguiling as ever, and extremely well cast as Bethany's mom. Also welcome back Dennis Quaid, reprising the good dad, and doing it well."

Eat, Pray, Love movie is obviously made with the claim that the method of Gilbert will be the panacea for all forms of women's existential crisis. The formula is simple: please the body, harden the spirit and everything flashy will reunite with the spiritual. Well, as any guide to practical psychology, this film is interesting only to those who need to stop worrying and start living. Remaining one hundred thirty-three minutes of screen time will be given easy. Hooked on the book, the filmmakers did not bother to spice up your creation more apparent irony, rather than one that reduces to a truly remarkable scene of the first conversation with God, Liz, and questionable character jokes about overweight, gained in Rome. There is some lack of a lightness of romantic comedies or the depths of serious cinema in this drama with elements of road movie…

Successfully debuted at The Dallas International Film Festival, Liberal Arts is an American romantic-drama film directed by talented Josh Radnor, who not only written a screenplay for the movie by performed the leading role of the Jesse, a lonesome mid-aged university admissions officer who visits his old college in order to honor his ex-mentor. At this pivotal moment of his live he meets a girl, a 19 years old Zibby (the role performed by lovely Elizabeth Olsen, whose sole presence in the film makes it worthy to watch). Zibby and Jesse relationships develop in the way typical for 36-years old mature man and romantic 19-tears old girl, who know nothing about what this world is like. The only thing that makes their relations seemingly not icky is the Jesse serious take of this moral dilemma, which sometimes crossing the border between serious and funny. Especially in the scene when he calculated the deeps of his lapse from virtue: "When I was 19, she was 3; when I was 16 she was 0….hmmm…when I'll be 86, she will be 70" the last equation makes him sort of more easy looking on this hefty age difference (but he, and everyone in the move; and even we understand the point well).
