Review of Romance and Cigarettes
Dancing and SexCan't say I was ready for Tony Soprano singing, nor was I ready for Kate Winslet's turn as a prostitute - also singing, but I WAS pleasantly surprised by the amazing movie that enveloped this story of cheating, sex, love, and family. Susan Sarandon, Mandy Moore, and the above mentioned ... read morePosted on 12/14/2007 by dougiejr3 
Review of Atonement
Nominated IndeedIncredible movie - and really stunning in its depiction of the novel of the same title. Knightley and McAvoy surely deserve their Golden Globe Nominations and perform at the height of their potential here, depicting lovers separated by a lie and the lives that are each lived in Atonement due ... read morePosted on 12/14/2007 by dougiejr3 
Review of The Golden Compass
This Compass Points SouthAllright, I'm going to go against my normal persuasion of posting independent reviews and post this one. It really is a discussion worth opening. The Golden Compass was an adequate movie - by regular movie standards. I wasn't cheering for the heroes as much, as I was, in say, The ... read morePosted on 12/08/2007 by dougiejr3 
Review of Juno
Like the city in Alaska? No, MUCH better!Amazingly acted by a teriffic cast! This movie really shines!

Review of Before the Devil Knows You're Dead
Before The Devil Tells His StoryAn ingenius and well crafted melodrama starring great actors in superb character roles. Marissa Tomei does a teriffic job, and not merely while topless, but as the embattled wife of Andy, Philip Seymour Hoffman. Hoffman does a great job showing the emotion and struggles of a drug addicted upper class ... read morePosted on 11/08/2007 by dougiejr3 
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 
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 |
