‘Woodsman’ wields heavy lumber

'Closer' comes close to being really good
“Closer” is not for mass audiences. It’s a very slow-moving, erotic, but cerebral, tale of love and betrayal with nary an action sequence.

'Little Black Book' full of wrong numbers
Romantic comedy is not Brittany Murphy's strong suit.
