However, that tale is far better told at the Rose Planetarium at the American Museum of Natural History. The audience on the night I saw the film seemed to like it; I didn&apos;t, and leaving the theater, I thought to myself: am I like the little Japanese boy who said, &quot;But the emperor is naked?&quot; For more of my reviews, follow me on Facebook and on Twitter, at @mayoratmovies.

YahooPartnerVideoID Blip post id 5467655 http://blip.tv/file/5450452 Movies and Television Entertainment youtube The actors in this film (Christopher Plummer, Ewan McGregor, Mary Page Keller, Goran Visnjic and Melanie Laurent) are all wonderful--including a Jack Russell terrier who understands 150 words of English and, I think, wants to marry Ewan McGregor&apos;s character. &#13;&#10;&#13;&#10;Bizarre, yes. It&#8217;s all very lovely and intriguing but sexually too antiseptic raising the question, &#8220;Where&#8217;s the beef?&#8221; With such a terrific cast and a cerebral review in The New York Times, I was expecting the theater to be crowed on opening night. It was not. Somehow the audience knew this picture was no &#8220;Brokeback Mountain.&#8221; It is worth seeing but far from a spectacular film breaking new ground. brad pitt sean penn mayor koch ed koch mayor at the movies tree of life thomas farley a.j. abucay new york insider productions Sun, 14 Aug 2011 19:20:15 +0000 brad pitt, sean penn, mayor koch, ed koch, mayor at the movies, tree of life, thomas farley, a.j. abucay, new york insider productions http://a.images.blip.tv/Mayorkoch-77765922.png brad pitt, sean penn, mayor koch, ed koch, mayor at the movies, tree of life, thomas farley, a.j. abucay, new york insider productions <iframe src="http://blip.tv/play/hL8Ags3cawI.x?p=1" width="720" height="433" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://a.blip.tv/api.swf#hL8Ags3cawI" style="display:none"></embed> Tree of Life (A Mayor Koch Review) http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ 40.756054 -73.986951
