Revolutionary Road (2008)

September 12th, 2010 · No Comments

Depressing film about a husband and wife, different needs, different goals, unwanted ends. Lots of scene chewing. I personally liked the insane guy – John. There is a part of me that thinks every couple needs one of these. imdb.com A young couple living in a Connecticut suburb during the mid-1950s struggle to come to [...]

Far from Heaven (2002)

December 13th, 2009 · No Comments

Visually stunning film that captured the look and feel of both the people, homes and film making look of the 1950′s. Predictable plot about the ugly side of marriage, homosexuality, racism, and small town social circles in the 50′s. So pretty to watch even if you have seen the film before under dozens of different [...]

Also, letting your self play a completely dysfunctional ass was nice instead of writing an unrealistic part about what a stud you are. So, on to the story. Two friends [...]

Some Girl (1998)

June 17th, 2009 · No Comments

This film was listed as a comedy in the summary. Only problem, it wasn’t funny. It was actually sort of sad watching this dysfunctional group of 20-somethings risk friendships for a one night stand, fall hopelessly in love with people that couldn’t care less about them, and believe anything the boy with a pretty smile [...]
