The Lookout- Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Brick).
This movie, a classic heist film with a twist, has all the bases covered- interesting concept, believable casting (with one exception*) and professional execution.
I was intrigued from the beginning, and thankful that the setup was so slow as it allowed the main character to be fully developed (and the audience to invest in him) before the plot twists start their inevitable unraveling.

Recommended.

*The character "Bone" looked like a reject from The Matrix and stood out so obviously that any small town Sheriff's Office would arrest him on general principals.
I can see how/why his character was necessary but I don't have to like it...)

Confessions of a Dangerous Mind-Sam Rockwell, George Clooney (also directed), Julia Roberts and Drew Barrymore.
This is one of the weirdest movies you'll ever see.
Based on the unbelievable (literally!) autobiography by Chuck Barris (Wiki here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confessions_of_a_Dangerous_Mind)) this film- which tanked at the boxoffice- features some amazing cameos (Brad Pitt and Matt Damon...for about 5 seconds), a disparate look (each decade is shot differently) and a protagonist you hate and like at the same time.

I saw this when it came out and had a very WTF? impression then, a revisit last night just reinforced that initial feeling.

I'd recommend it just for the experience of watching a film that- for me- is so ambiguous.

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead- Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Ethan Hawke, Marisa Tomei and Albert Finney.
When a robbery goes bad, the whole family suffers.
A movie with an interesting structure and excellent acting.
My second Finney flick of the weekend, I started with Miller's Crossing and jumped to this because he was so good.

Marisa is much hotter than I thought.

Another very entertaining film that was in and out of the theaters very fast.

Hellboy II-The Golden Army
There is no denying the visual genius of Guillermo del Toro (Pan's Labryinth- which Hellboy mimics shamelessly) but I felt the story was weaker than the first iteration.
I realize that summer blockbuster films are all about the grand setpieces- and this flic doesn't disappoint in that respect- but the humor and logic of the first Hellboy were missing for me, so the big scenes seemed like exercises in filmmaking rather than a coherent story.
I also missed David Hyde Pierce as the voice of Abe Sapien.

Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story- John C. Reilly, Jenna Fischer.
This biopic of the "legendary" Dewey Cox is exactly backwards from most films of the ilk.

The music- which spans from early rock and roll up to the nineties- is pitch perfect in detail and execution. In fact, some of the songs ("Walk Hard") are actually quite catchy, while others ("Let's Duet") are hilarious.

The storyline though just doesn't live up to the quality of the preproduction.
Fitfully amusing but not consistent enough to rise to Spinal Tap level, the film ultimately disappoints because it's obvious that the talent and desire were there but the final mix doesn't quite gel.

Welcome To Collinwood- Sam Rockwell, William H. Macy and Patricia Clarkson.
The story of a robbery doomed from the beginning by improbability, ineptitude and sheer idiocy.
Produced by George Clooney (who makes a small appearance and also teamed with Rockwell in Confessions of a Dangerous Mind), this amusing tale could almost be seen as a practice run for the far more popular Ocean's franchise.

An easy way to kill a few hours.

The Crying Game- Stephen Rea, Jaye Davidson.
I would venture that this is one of the most original films I've ever seen and certainly one of the most labyrinthine plots.
If you're lucky and no one has spoiled it by trying to describe the story, by all means, see it.

The Accused- Jodie Foster (won Oscar for her role), Kelly McGillis.
A film with a definite- and not at all disguised- agenda.
Foster plays a rape victim who is not at all the "good girl" and may in fact have been "asking for it".
Somewhat formulaic, the film is worth a watch just to see another sterling Foster performance.

The Panic Room-Jodie Foster, Forrest Whittaker.
Having just watched Foster in The Accused and Whittaker in The Crying Game, the opportunity to see the two together was irresistible.
Foster and her daughter take refuge in their new townhouse's "panic room" after being invaded by three criminals looking for a fortune hidden in the house.
Cat and mouse action ensues.
Foster is building quite a career playing tough, brainy and resourceful women backed into a corner and forced to overcome.
She does not disappoint here.

The Golden Compass
Great production values (especially if you're a fan of steampunk), good CGI (I assume that real polar bears wanted too much money) and Sam Shepard playing the role he's best known for- Sam Shepard.
Totally meh storyline, probably much more lucid if you've read the source book(s?).
Maddeningly, the ending is merely a bridge to the sequel, which, given the film's boxoffice performance, will probably never be made.

Give it a pass unless you have an empty afternoon and really want to see Nicole Kidman in some slinky faux forties haute couture.

Being John Malkovich- John Cusack, Cameron Diaz, Catherine Keener and of course, John Malkovich.
One of the most inventive films I've ever seen, this script has an embarrassment of rich plot twists and clever visuals.
This is a story that could only be told via film...to describe it just sounds like tripping (although it makes perfect sense to watch).
Get off on the 7 1/2th floor and enjoy the ride.

Million Dollar Baby- Clint Eastwood, Hilary Swank and Morgan Freeman.
Sometimes Hollywood gets it right and this film deserved each of the four Oscars that it won.
An emotional bodyblow delivered with subtle performances and the classic Freeman voiceover narration, MDB left me blubbering and smiling at the same time.

Dog Day Afternoon- Al Pacino.
A Brooklyn nobody and two friends try to rob a bank.
It doesn't go well.
This film (based on real events) is less about the robbery than about Pacino's character, how he was driven to this desperate act and how he deals with it unfolding. It's a great performance.
Directed by Sidney Lumet, Dog Day Afternoon would be a wonderful double feature with Lumet's latest film, Before the Devil Knows You're Dead, another character driven story of a robbery gone bad.

Enron: The Smartest Guys In the Room- a documentary about the largest corporate bankruptcy in American history.
A story told on the human level of arrogance, greed and unbelievable chutzpah, this movie exposes the dark underside of capitalism.
I was at times struck by sheer admiration for the balls exhibited by the principle players and then enraged by their cupidity- particularly galling are actual phone transcripts as the energy traders laughingly bring the world's seventh largest economy- California- to it's knees by artificially creating electricity shortages (2001's year long "rolling brown-outs") which ultimately resulted in Arnold Schwarzenegger's election as governor.
A very interesting film.

Charlie Wilson's War- Tom Hanks, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Julia Roberts.
Based on a true story- frankly, you just couldn't make this stuff up- this film is quite an oddity, albeit a quite entertaining one.
What's odd is the main character...the real Charlie Wilson is more handsome than Hanks and was much wilder/more decadent than portrayed in the film.
Snappy writing by Aaron Sorkin and the luminous Julia Roberts only add to the film's appeal.
Hoffman is great as well, and an almost dead ringer for the real Gust Avrakotos.

K-PAX- Kevin Spacey and Jeff Bridges.
Spacey is Prot, who may or may not be an alien, and Bridges is a psychiatrist who becomes involved in his life.
Thought provoking because the script never reveals the answer- is Prot an alien or just a severely traumatized human?- in fact, that answer is almost irrelevant to the film's larger questions.

Two Boston detectives (Affleck and Monoghan) investigate the abduction of a little girl.

Based upon the book by Dennis Lehane (an author I like) and directed by Ben Affleck (an actor I mostly like), I was primed to enjoy this film...sadly, I did not.

This film is the poster boy for bad casting choices.
Not for one second did I believe that Affleck and Monoghan were detectives- college seniors maybe, but definitely NOT the kind of hardboiled detectives capable of some the actions they take or- even more critically- the decision that must be made at the movie's end.

Too bad and better luck next time Ben.

*Gone Baby Gone is the fourth in a series about this pair by author Lehane.
In the books it's made abundantly clear that they are lightweight investigators, specializing in skip tracing, collections, etc. and not heavy duty Sam Spade types. They bumble their way into serious crimes.
Unfortunately, the movie glosses right over this and we have these two baby faced kids being treated as equals by the police detectives assigned to this high profile case.

Kiss Of The Spider Woman (1985)
Very canorous movie since then, and even now.
Canorous: Richly melodious; tuneful

Odd choice of adjectives.

Se7en- Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman, Gwyneth Paltrow, Kevin Spacey.
A dark and grimy noir thriller featuring yet another incredibly inventive and focused serial killer*.
It almost pulls it off.

I have two problems with this film- one major, one minor- both deal breakers.
Firstly, I don't think Pitt is the equal of the rest of the cast. Especially at the ending's "big reveal", he just didn't convince me. This may have been a fault of the editing, intercutting between Spacey and Freeman- both of whom can speak volumes with complete stillness- leaves Pitt exposed as the lightweight of the trio.

The second is a minor but very irritating technical slip.
The whole look of the movie is dark, decayed and most of all, wet.
It's always raining in this unnamed city.
Unfortunately, in several exterior shots there is obvious sunshine in the backround while the foreground is drowning. Just like "winter" scenes where you don't see anyone's breath, this small detail jars me out of the story and makes me concentrate on the mechanics of filmmaking...not a good thing.

*OK, I wasn't going to do this but sorry, can't resist...
There is gaping hole in plot logic at the ending. The finale rushes by so quickly that this doesn't stand out but within five minutes of finishing I went "Hey, wait a minute..."
The serial killer John Doe (Spacey) has just raped, killed and decapitated Mill's wife (Paltrow), then walks into the police station literally covered in fresh, dripping blood.
In the final scene in the desert, Paltrow's head is delivered in a box by an unsuspecting courier.
How did Doe arrange this?
Imagine the scene...a demented killer, slathered in gore, walks into a delivery service carrying a box- which is inexplicably pristine by the way- and asks for it to be delivered to the middle of nowhere at a very specific time. He pays $500 and ambles out.
No one thinks this odd.
That's one tough city.

Also,
Let's talk about the mastermind serial killer genre a bit, shall we?
Yeah, I get it- they're nuts and totally focused but shit, give me a break, do they have time machines too?
When Pitt and Freeman find John Doe's lair- and don't they all have such elaborate hidey holes too?- one of the things they find is two thousand- 2000!- handmade, incredibly dense notebooks...the killer's mind made readable.
In the DVD extras there is a whole clip devoted to producing just the few pages that are shown onscreen.
It took two guys months to make just these props and yet the "killer" supposedly spews out 2000 of 'em.
At the same time he's also masterminding incredibly elaborate death scenarios- one of which takes a year to complete.
Yet, when caught, John Doe appears well fed and rested...pretty normal actually.

His productivity and dedication make me feel like a total slacker.
Makes me wish I was just a little batshit crazy so I could get more done.

Pleasantville- Tobey Maguire, Jeff Daniels, Reese Witherspoon.
A charming fantasy about two modern teens inserted into a 1950's black and white TV show.
Gee gosh, I enjoyed it.

I agree clocker(if you couldn't tell by my user details) but like The Truman Show (another movie about someone living in a fantasy town) for me it kind of fizzled out at the end.

I think it's very hard to wrap up stories like these satisfactorily. You essentially are forced to destroy what you loved about the places to find some resolution.

Really enjoyed the ride while it lasted though and William H Macy and Joan Allen's characters are clearly the heart of the story.

I agree with Joan Allen but thought Jeff Daniel's had a more pivotal role.

Macy is Macy...thinking back on his performances (Fargo, The Cooler and myriad smaller parts) he seems to play variations on a theme. Probably heavily influenced by his looks, the semi-hangdog, kinda lost Average Joe, unusually in way over his head.
I'd like to see him and Felicity in a film together.

They were in the TV show Sports Night together.It was the first time I ever noticed Ms. Huffman.

IMDB says that they've worked on quite a few projects together but I don't know if they acted opposite each other in them.

Joan Allen's in the Death Race remake.I guess her career is now officially in the toilet.

clocker
09-07-2008, 04:28 AM
Sports Night was/is one of my favorite shows ever...the pacing and dialogue was intoxicating.
That's where Huffman hit my radar as well- see her in Transamerica where she is amazing.

As great as Joan Allen is, I guess everyone needs a paycheck.

Veronica Guerin- Cate Blanchette.
Veronica Guerin was a real person, a crusading journalist who set out to expose the kingpins behind rampant drug dealing in Dublin.
She was murdered by gangsters and her death prompted the government to crack down on crime.

The movie is a straightforward retelling of the actual events and Blanchette makes a compelling hero.
Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the real Guerin so my only opinion is based on this film, where she comes across as irresponsibly crazy and headstrong.
Married and the mother of a young boy, Guerin ignores repeated warnings that she will be killed and her family destroyed- her response is to march into the living room of the gangster and ask questions.
Brave, yes...foolhardy, yes.

As a movie, Veronica Guerin is OK...she's killed within the first 5 minutes (the rest is all flashback), so there's little suspense and I spent the next 100 minutes thinking "What the fuck is she doing?". The ending is her funeral and we're obviously supposed to be manipulated into cheering her martyrdom but it seemed so inevitable and self-inflicted that I was nonplussed.

I'd rate this one as "Meh".

Calendar Girls- Helen Mirren.
What can I say...I saw Helen Mirren was in it and I had to watch.

In 1999, a group of Women's Institute ladies (sort of a Campfire Girls for the middle aged) decided to raise money to memorialize the death of one of the husbands. A mildly racy calendar, featuring the ladies themselves in the nude, turns into a media sensation and they raise a million bucks.
It's a true story.

The film takes place in a small Yorkshire town and it's beautiful.
Although I didn't see any Hobbits, I'm sure they were there, just out of camera.
No one appears to work and even the husband's death by leukemia is muted and noble.
The only person who is upset by this brouhaha is Mirren's son, who broods atop a giant rock in the hills. I expected him to jump...
He doesn't
...which would have changed the movie considerably.

Calendar Girls is quintessential Lifetime channel fare...a heartwarming story of nice people who do a nice thing and have fun in the process. There is never a doubt they will succeed and live happily ever after.

My estrogen level doubled during the movie's run time and is only now returning to normal.
I'm not sure if this was a bad thing or not.

Notes On A Scandal- Judi Dench, Cate Blanchette.
A young art teacher makes a terrible mistake and an older teacher takes advantage.
The movie makes an interesting journey as the focus widens and the enormity of the Dench
character's need becomes apparent.
Beautifully acted and produced, the film even has a now classic horror movie ending (watch it and see...).

American Psycho- Christian Bale.
Kabuki-like, intensely stylized story of a young, rich and handsome (well, it is a young Christian Bale after all) Wall Street broker who just happens to be a psychopathic homicidal maniac.
Maybe.
Truly a "WTF" movie, I don't know what to make of it.
Bale's character, Patrick Bateman, is a cross between Gordon Gekko and Leatherface- I get that part.
I get the satire of 80's greed and materialism and the obsessive attention to surfaces.
What I didn't get was Willem Dafoe's character and the ending, which calls into question the whole rest of the movie.

Either the movie was too clever to get in just one viewing (like Primer) or a hopelessly muddled mess that tries to be something it ain't.
Think I might read the book and give this one another go.

Or maybe not.

Seabiscuit- Jeff Bridges, Tobey Maguire.
Today's choice was to find a "feel-good" film and Seabiscuit delivered in spades.
A horse (and jockey) with heart energize a nation coming out of the grip of the Great Depression...kind of like today, actually.
Not completely historically accurate, the film nonetheless has a keen eye for period detail, good acting and intimate racing scenes.
Everybody ends up happy- including me- and sometimes, that's all you need from a movie.
