Oscar nod for Swinton
PostedJune 24, 2010

from Culver City
This is Swinton's movie. And Guadagnino's. Very stylized. Almost more like a series of photographs rather than a movie. Lots of high contrast and playing with colors. John Adam's music is on the one hand very unusual and on the other sledgehammer obvious. The story does heat up after quite a while providing pathos and drama however it's Swinton's performance around which the whole movie revolves. I'd see it again.
Yes, I recommend this movie.

The Hurt Locker

Now this is a good movie. The only reason i didn't give it 5 stars was because of the sickening (literally) use of the shaking camera. When is this fad going to end?
The performances, the tension, the writing, all add up to a wrenching sad but honest picture of war. I've read that some soldiers feel that the film is not completely accurate but this is a movie not a documentary and at least for me it rings true. The best anti-war film in recent history. Bring our soldiers home!!!

Did You Hear About the Morgans

This is the worst movie i've seen in a long time. Parker has to be the most unattractive leading lady in movie history. And we're to believe that Grant is in love with her? No way. Not to mention that the story line is predictable every step of the way. Avoid like the plague.
No, I do not recommend this movie.

I was disappointed by both Bridges and the movie. This was far from an Oscar performance. He had nothing to work with. And why is Jane in love with him? It doesn't add up to me. All i could think of was Kris Kristofferson without the great songs.
No, I do not recommend this movie.
