A little sunshower hit the West Village the other night, but that was just fine with little Liv, 6, and mom Julianne Moore, 47.

"Blindness," the latest movie from Julianne is in theaters now and is getting a beating from the critics. Interesting premise, but apparently they don't pull it off...

Yes, there's a Julianne Moore Moment in Blindness. You know, the requisite scene in which the actress' face stretches to its high-cheekboned limits in a look of utter anguish, the tears streaming, the teeth clenched, chin atwitter. (Assignment to Final Cut Studio users: Assemble a montage of Moore Moments, from Children of Men, Freedomland, Magnolia, et cetera, et cetera.)

Maybe this diminishes the work of the massively talented Fernando Mereilles (”City of God” and “The Constant Gardener” make a hell of a one-two punch) but I’ve taken to describing “Blindness” to others as a high brow “Dawn of the Dead”.
