Review: Perky 'Proposal' Predictable, Yet Engaging Jun 21, 2009
A supporting cast of A-list actors including Mary Steenburgen and Craig Nelson, plus a very perky and funny Betty White as Grandma Annie, lend a bit of credibility to "The Proposal.". This romantic comedy, which isn't really a romantic comedy but a romance with bits of comedy thrown in, is by the book and formulaic. (KERO 23, CA)

The Proposal Jun 18, 2009
As his mother, Grace, Mary Steenburgen delivers another of her droll, sweet-natured turns and Betty White plays the elderly imp as Grandma but it's pretty heavy-handed, especially in the scenes involving Craig T. Nelson as Andrew's father, eager to see his son quit the sissyfied publishing world and come home to the family business. And in the end, nothing can compensate for the fact that Bullock has been so diligent in ridding herself of any trace of niceness that she looks as if she's...

DVD Report: This week's new releases (March 1) Mar 1, 2009
We've seen Southern novelist James Lee Burke's signature hero before - in "Heaven's Prisoners," played by Alec Baldwin - but Jones really bites into the role, particularly in his clashes with John Goodman's creepy local mobster-"producer." Still, a two-pronged mystery about a murdered prostitute and a decades-old racial slaying is disjointedly slow going, and underutilizes a supporting cast that includes Mary Steenburgen, Kelly Macdonald, and Ned Beatty.
