THE WORD ON CHLOE AND FISH TANK >>>

Opening at The Grand Cinema on Friday will be the films Chloe and Fish Tank. Roger Ebert has the scoop on both films:

Chloe: A woman doctor (Julianne Moore) suspects her husband (Liam Neeson) of cheating, and hires a young call girl (Amanda Seyfried) to test how he might respond. She is fascinated by the girl's reports. Her jealousy shifts into curiosity. And the call girl? What's in this for her? Egoyan weaves a deceptive erotic web. Read full review here. Rated R, three and a half out of four stars

Fish Tank: The harrowing portrait of a 15-year-old girl on a reckless path toward self-destruction. Her mother, only about 30, is a drunken slut, and the girl seems on the same path. Covers a few days of fraught experiences with sex and anger. Superbly acted by newcomer Katie Jarvis. Winner of the Jury Prize at Cannes 2009. Read full review here. Directed by Andrea Arnold. Not rated, four out of four stars
