This week, pop culture critic Richard Crouse reviews new movies: 'The Little Mermaid,' 'You Hurt My Feelings,' and 'Mission Kandahar.'
Disney takes you back under the sea with "The Little Mermaid," the latest of their photo-realistic, live action remakes of classic animated movies. Based on the 1837 Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale of the same name, the new film places the titular mermaid in an undersea world that brings to mind your work computer's aquarium screensaver.
"Here's the deal," she says. "I'll whip up a little potion to make you human for three days. Before the sun sets on the third day, you and Princey must share a kiss, and not just any kiss. The kiss of true love. If you do, you will remain human permanently. But if you don't, you'll turn back into a mermaid and you belong to me."
But it feels like something is missing. That's the magic that made the ink and paint "Little Mermaid" an enduring classic. Louis-Dreyfus is Beth, a memoirist and writing teacher, struggling with the reactions to her second book. As a first reader, her therapist husband Don has studied each of the drafts of the book, and always told her how much he loves the writing.
So often, relationship dramas are about infidelity. This one is about a fidelity of a sort, the kind broken with good intentions. His latest, "Mission Kandahar" , now playing in theatres, brings the action earthbound in a story based on the true experiences of screenwriter and former military intelligence officer, Mitchell LaFortune in Afghanistan in the aftermath of the Snowden leaks.
