SubscribeThe Kids Are Alright was a surprise for me. I really thought the film was about two teen aged kids of a lesbian couple finding the sperm donor that made them possible. It was SO MUCH MORE. It was dynamic, tackling family, love, lust, teen aged angst and parenting. I laughed, I cried, I felt...
Oh my God. Michael Cera plays a smarmy no good suave macho? Yeah, you read that right. I know….I’m shaking my head too. In total disbelief. It was so refreshing to say the least. He pulls it off while still remaining in his element and role he plays so well. You know the one. A...
Greenberg is a bummer but in a good way. I’m knocking on 40′s door and so there was much to relate to here. Ben Stiller is great, totally believable as this narcissitic fragile jerk, Roger Greenberg. Greenberg is back in L.A after living in New York for 15 years and doing a brief stint in...
A Serious Man is another Coen brothers little gem. It took me a few days to figure out what I thought of this because like a lot of their films, it was really slow and quiet yet said so much. What resonated with me was the search for answers. Why? Why? Why is all this...
Let’s get to the point here, this movie was not really funny. It was about funny people and it is written and directed by Judd Apatow, stars Adam Sandler and Seth Rogen. All of this and guess what? This movie is a bummer and kind of boring. I really love the idea. This uber successful...
Alright, the holidays are rife with movie material. Families reunite for food, drink, laughs and drama. Here is a list of my top 5 Thanksgiving flicks. The Ice Storm: one word: SWINGERS! Pieces of April: Back when she was just Katie Holmes, sweet flick and Patricia Clarkson rocks it of course! The House...
Go out and see this little gem of a movie but do NOT take your four year old. Ok, so I didn’t do my homework and I let my ADD take over when I read claymation – (er, stop motion animation) – the adventures of Mary and Max. Although my kid had a hard time...
“You haven’t seen war until you’ve seen it through the eyes of Quentin Tarantino.” That’s the tagline and it’s true. I really enjoyed Basterds. Mostly because it is something I’ve never seen in a war movie, especially a WWII movie. The basterds, a gang of Nazi hating Jews, are led by Lt. Aldo Raine played...
OMFG!! Bobcat Goldthwait directed a movie? And it was good? Yes people……read it and weep. Robin Williams plays the wussiest Dad ever. Always trying to make his horny, foul-mouthed, douche-bag of a teen-age son happy. He can’t catch a break with him to save his life. At the same time, his dreams of becoming the...
