Review of Reservation Road
Reservation at 8:00Brilliant acting by all of the lead actors - Mark Ruffalo, Jennifer Connelly, and Joaquin Phoenix. This film chronicles the loss of a child - and how painful and threatening it can be - when there is someone responsible for the death. Joaquin Phoenix turns in a memorable peformance for, ... read morePosted on 11/04/2007 by dougiejr3 
Review of Lars and the Real Girl
Ryan and the Real Actor...A great movie about family, love, and mental illness - all of which we all have at one time or another (even if we care to ignore it) Gosling turns in another teriffic performance, as does Paul Schneider and Emily Mortimer. The battle of loneliness versus hospitality and love is ... read morePosted on 10/29/2007 by dougiejr3 
Review of Nine Lives
Just Nine?Insightful and visual, this film is reality film at its best, with an all star cast, dealing with real life situations, chemistry, and consequences. Stellar performances all around, but the division of the nine stories made it seem a bit drawn out. Dakota Fanning, Jason Isaacs, Glenn Close, Robin Wright ... read morePosted on 10/29/2007 by dougiejr3 
Review of Friends With Money
Living With Choices...First off, an all star cast drives this amazing Drama vehicle by detailing the lives of very different, but similar, friends. Those that have money, and those that are striving to make ends meet. Frances McDormand shines, as does Jason Isaacs, and Jennifer Aniston. The film's premise opens the dialogue ... read morePosted on 10/29/2007 by dougiejr3 Favorite Movies/Actors/DirectorsHere's what I'm going to do - because it is virtually impossible for me to list the hundreds of favorite films and actors and directors of mine, I will just keep updating it with the most recent favorite films/directors and actors of the movies that I see every week.

Review of 2001: A Space Odyssey
Before There Was Star Wars, There Was...Groundbreaking in so many ways, but did not expect anything less from Stanley Kubrick, 2001: A Space Odyssey is an exceptionally thought provoking film about evolution, control, and the brevity of life. With only 37 minutes of dialogue, much is left to the visual, as well as the abstract. Also, ... read morePosted on 10/22/2007 by dougiejr3 Date Night @ Angelika HoustonJust wanted to let anyone out there - in the Houston area, know, that on Monday's, the Angelika Film Center in Houston, TX has a date night.

Review of King of California
Pleasant SurpriseSpectacularly acted by both Michael Douglas and Evan Rachel Wood, this film chronicles the father-daughter relationship in a more realistic way than most films. Douglas is a bipolar manic depressive that has just been released by a Mental Institution and readjusts to 'normal' life with his daughter of 16 (Wood). ... read morePosted on 10/16/2007 by dougiejr3 
Review of The Last Temptation of Christ
What If?As a Christian, myself, I might be a little biased towards this movie, but really don't understand why it came under so much fire when it was released! Marty directed a masterful tale, from Kazantzakis, that details the life of Christ. From His upbringing, to His 3 year mission, and ... read morePosted on 10/10/2007 by dougiejr3 
Review of Pieces of April
Katie Holmes ShinesIn only one of two movies that I've ever seen, that Katie Holmes does a terrific job, this film is definitely a keeper! Holmes drives this piece as a young girl, trying to find her place in the world - and in her family. Dealing with the emotional stress of ... read morePosted on 10/09/2007 by dougiejr3 |
