I cried watching this!!
it was so yummy to watch a story of this sort! or on this subject matter(s)it was an awsome take on getting fired,firing people, and the life of a guy whose home is the air and loves it..until...;)
Probably this storyline might seem familiar to you, but trust me Jason Reitman(director) gives it his own take -its a whole new tennis game and depth to this gutsy and moving story. If you loved 'Juno' and 'thankyou for smoking' then you can stop reading this and go watch this film now.
If you're still here, and by the way haven't seen Juno or Thankyou for smoking-you should curl up on the floor now in fetal position and join me to scream WHYYYY?!!
Humour in tragedy thats a challenging for any filmaker to pull off.And Jason packs on a lot of meat unto this babe. its a rich storyline and plot.
George Clooney convinces me in this movie that he's a regular guy not a lawyer,crime genious,political guy...
the script was great-not mind blowing -out of this world but very,very good!in my humble opinion;)
and again...
imho

REBOUND
I hope i'm not exaggerrating here when i say that -this is the best romantic comedy of a relationship where the womans is sizeably older than her male love interest. THE BEST!
I confess if i am exaggerrating...i don't think i care!!
In my humble opinion. it wasn't a sugerred up like -aww it's possible,nice and doable because all you need is love and age is nothing but a number -type thing AND neither was it a doomed impossible because a 15year difference carries with it a lot of experiences,knowledge or the lack thereof and any and all guys below 30 are not mature enough-type thing.
I think it bravely and practically showcased this kind of relationship in every (or most )emotional and intellectual issuse . Showed it all humorously and dramatically and with dialogin-ly(?)realness, so that when you watch it you go "well...that makes sense" and not "yeah...right" or "i told you there's only one way this could go...see?!"
Great dialogue. the situations are beautiful. the actors are to die for!(loved those kids).its a sexy comedy with a fair look on love in all its cracked up to be.
Art Garfunkel was in it too!!!(hilarious)

THE IMAGINARIUM OF DOCTOR PARNASSUS
I'm a fan of phylosophy,theology, wisdom, the connection between the natural and supernatural -so i was more than a yes person to see this film. Lest we forget seeing great actors and beautiful men like JOHNNY DEPP,JUDE LAW,COLIN FARREL AND OFCOURSE HEATH LEDGER share some of their talent together.
The story was a rumble tumble for me from the start-and not in a fast way.I was not sure what i should be thinking about as i watched this plot open up-and i hate this feeling.-Nothing seemed clear. The dialogue wasn't helping any.Even when Heath showed up-it kinda got worse for me. But anywho i gave it the benefit of the doubt-maybe it was me-the movie was to deep for my blood. half way in(trendy in my blogs,no?) to the film -when they finally get to showing off the doctor's imaginarium-i started to taste some meat of a plot.
I like stories with messages clearcut or subtle but it's there-but this was bit all over the place in my humble opinion.
I think this sort of story needed to be told like one of those wierd, absorbing Picasso paintings-where the woman had three or four eyes-BUT you could still tell it WAS A WOMAN. and not a jackson Pollock painting with splashes and dots of paint of different colours eveywhere and you might as well have seen a wind-mill or was it a chicken...
...or maybe i need to watch it again-but you see i don't think this is even that sort of film where the illumination develops the more you go back to it.
A fantasy-sci-fi-drama-adventure type thing with seemingly heavy improvisation. Enjoyed the attempt though.
imho.

BROTHERS
COOME ON!!-ITS JAKE GYLLENGAL,TOBI MCGUIRE AND NATALIE PORTMAN IN THE SAME FILMIC SPACE FOR 2 HOURS!! You bet your sweet arse i was all over it.lol
A real storyline thats held its own. A Cane-Abel thing thrown into the middle of the Iraqi war thing and a beautiful wife-thing with 2 cute daughters,the older of whom was more like 8 going on 21.
Tough for me to accept Natalie as a mother of 8 and 5 yr old(thereabouts)-the picture didn't just fit for me-but from the background tale ,i gathered that-she and Tobi' character probably got married right out of highschool-so that stopped that itch.
...and first time seeing Tobey in a full out drama-drama,and he was "all up in there" especially halfway through the movie as his character disfigures emotionally and somewhat physically- all thanks to Tobi's great acting.
At the start- all i saw was the cute-babyface Toby-and i was like-naaah this isn't going to work-him a hard-arse soldier,a father of two...naah-but as the plot intensified his character potrayal was grand.
Seriously,in my humble opinion Toby's role is something that would have been "home" for Jake G. because Jake has done a lot more drama in all forms so i was pleasantly suprised to see him in the less pscychological explosive role.I kept expecting his character to burst out Jakey style...lol but he never does-he rode the calmer river this time and let Toby burn the house down.It was fun to watch this.
Madam Natalie was the lady in between-but not the way you expect-not the way this script was written anyway. This was no love triangle thing(as some lazy films have depicted).This one was with more meaty complexity(just my opinion) ,nicely done and Natalie as a mum made it look too easy. The camera loves her though and she's still one of my great favs.
A quiet story with some fireworks...and/or just plain fire.
A beautiful homage of empathy and sympathy for what some of these soldiers do and endure just so they can go home. The love in this screen fable is in my humble opinion, depicted with realness and a lot of heart.
