Funny People (2009)

July 16th, 2010 · No Comments

Depressing and interesting look at a comedian as he goes through a terminal illness, realizes he is pretty much alone and proceeds to try and mess up the good thing that the only girl he feels he loved has. Great performances by Sandler and Rogen. imdb.com When seasoned comedian George Simmons learns of his terminal, [...]

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 [...]

Blindness (2008)

November 22nd, 2009 · No Comments

The world is struck by an epidemic that causes almost everyone to go blind when they come into contact with someone suffering from blindness. This was obviously trying to make some deep political statement, but I am not sure what it was. The already blind will manipulate the new blind. If you are immune it [...]

Away from Her (2006)

August 9th, 2009 · No Comments

This was a touching film about the toll that Alzheimer’s disease can take on a couple. The inner cutting of the lead up to the hospitalization, mixed with the hospital footage (especially of her connecting with someone else and not knowing her own husband) and the footage of the connection the husband finally made with [...]

Dallas 362 (2003)

August 6th, 2009 · No Comments

Congratulations Scott Caan on writing and directing a film where there were no strippers anywhere except the credits. And it was a nice credit sequence. 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 [...]

Grey Gardens (2009)

May 25th, 2009 · No Comments

I have not seen the documentary about the Ediths and am not sure if I want to after seeing this. It was depressing watching the relationship between this mother and daughter. The mother was possibly one of the most selfish women I had ever seen. The fact that she did not completely kill the spirit [...]

Trekkies 2 (2004)

May 25th, 2009 · No Comments

I am not a Trekkie. I can honestly say that I don’t remember ever watching a full episode of Star Trek. There are parts of this movie that make me think that sitting down and watching a couple episodes might be an okay idea. They are presented as life lessons and unity plays by many [...]
