as i know work at an independent theater, i've seen a few good films in the last week. here is my brief take on them:
the reader:
kate winslet, you have my heart. beautiful, tragic, poetic. oh the power of literacy. sidenote: artful nudity at its best.
revolutionary road:
high hopes, slightly disappointed. mendes, perhaps you ought to have opted for different subject matter and more varied music from that awesome movie with mr. spacey. on the whole, american beauty said everything this film says but better. the performances of both leo and kate were the only things that kept this film afloat(to me).
MILK:
mr. van sant, you make remarkable choices. this is a fantastic film. and i believe in you, mr. milk. and i still have hope, though our terribly sick and twisted society does some terribly sick and twisted things. even in your death, i see your plight as a triumph. gorgeous film, fantastic performances... very little i would change. MILK, you top the list...
i am now anxiously awaiting the opening of the wrestler and sunshine cleaning. am also hopeful to catch slumdog millionaire before it closes this week. fingers crossed that it lives up to the hype.
i also have plans to do this "25 notes about me" thing in the near future. be on the look-out.
