I love Bill. Been lucky enough to talk with him on the street a few times. What a guy. One of the saddest films I've seen all year. However the man has truly found his calling in life and that is something to celebrate.

Minor but fun Schroeder; SWF however still holds today in some interesting ways (cinematography, NYC: swf vibe/energy/wardrobe) while at the same time feeling incredibly dated (plot twists, male cast) in others. Definitely a movie a lot of my friends were talking about when we were too young to talk about it. A time capsule and a precursor of the creepiness of Craigslist, and the ubiquitousness of Apple computers.

James L. Brooks, how do you not know that this bloated, unfocused mess was a terrible idea? When I watched the film, it seemed like I was actually watching not just one but two terrible movies at once. Such a waste of great acting talent.

W. and World Trade Center are destined to be on a 2 for 1 DVD disc in a Walmart bin near you. There was no reason for either film to be made, completely aimless and dimwitted. There is no discernible original point of view from the filmmaker, just a total rehash of things no one wants to relive. I think Oliver Stone may just be the worst filmmaker we have in America today.

I truly hated this film.

Really just not all that good.

Darker, better than I had hoped for. The problem is with Paul Rudd's fiance, she is so lifeless, bone-dry and intolerable, it makes the plot point of will he be able to win her back pointless because who with any personality themselves would even care to? The touching moments with Carrell make up for it all though.

Captures loss and family dynamics quite well. Summer Hours also subtly reminds me of some of Rohmer's films.

The banter between the brothers is my favorite part of this film.

Truly one of my all time favorites, an instant classic. I would love to see Criterion pick this up and give it the DVD release it deserves.

The making of this film probably screwed up the promotion of one of the best films of the last decade, Two Lovers. That aside, I can still see the good in it. No one would have watched Two Lovers anyway. This is a study on the psychology of being a spoiled celebrity, the fact of how easy it is to get a meeting only because you have a semblance of notoriety. I'll add, I loved the ending, it made me think of River.

Great on location scenes, an intensely interesting performance from Robert Mitchum and a first rate treatment from the Criterion Collection. This puts most if not all of the recent Boston area crime films to shame.

I feel like giving this film three stars is generous because parts of it are really weak. I would not blame any of the weaknesses on the actors though, I am pointing at the direction. Culkin, Goldblum and Claire Danes give really nice performances. It played better in my memory from eight years ago than it did upon a recent viewing, which probably had a lot to do with my age and wonderment at the time.

For me, this is far and away Demme's most interesting film. Perfectly cast, music by John Cale, and The Feelies show up at the high school reunion. The second half of the film is absurd, but in the way in which a high school bully is absurd. It makes total sense here. This is a gem of a time capsule for the 1980's and I'd take it over most other comedies from the era without hesitation.

One of Cage's less heinous offerings. A great line about a "frosty" as well.

Castaway in an airport terminal? No thanks.

I've visited some of Banksy's graffiti stencils on buildings so I was excited to watch this film. Thierry Guetta is the more intriguing character though, as Banksy points out to us in the film. In the first half of the film Thierry reminds me of an unintentional Louis Malle. In the second half he reminds me of an intentional Andy Warhol. Whether or not this doc is really a doc, it doesn't matter. It's great.

Thank goodness Kevin didn't de-Kline this role. He was born to play H. Harrison.

A sign of things to come from Randy Quaid?! We should have seen this coming.

Though I had seen this in 2005, and gave it high marks, I watched it again last night by chance, and I realized I cannot understand anything that Jeffrey Wright was saying. Bill Murray is a delight here though and anytime Julie Delpy is in anything I am paying attention. Unlike anything else Jarmusch has ever done. But I guess you could say that about any one of his films.

Cassavetes inspired comedy. Amazing! If you didn't find this funny, we probably wouldn't have much to talk about.

Surprising, not terrible at times, even enjoyable.

In lieu of a review I have decided to post a definition and my own addendum. realism |ˈrēəˌlizəm| noun 1 the attitude or practice of accepting a situation as it is and being prepared to deal with it accordingly 2 the quality or fact of representing a person, thing, or situation accurately or in a way that is true to life See Also: The Last Detail and Jack Nicholson's performance there-within.

I didn't hate it, at times I kind of liked it. Maybe I'm just getting old, and boring. My father would love this film and the soundtrack. The grandiose January Jones entrance was fun, and Talulah Riley reminded me of Anna Karina. I've seen better work out of Rhys Ifans, much better. Every time his character spoke I found myself saying...Really?!

After watching the disjointed, explosive mess that is Inception earlier in the week, Cyrus was the perfect break in the action that I needed this weekend. Very Greenberg-sh, very Mumblecore-ish. But Greenberg was Mumblecore-ish so who is influencing who here? Its clear that Baumbach and the Duplass brothers have been hanging out...a lot. All the actors here have great faces, and they needed them the whole way.

A great debut from David O. Even when I don't love the man's films, I never forget about them, this is no exception.

The film is as clunky as the costumes. I hated it.

A four star farce! I really love this movie. "Hansel...so hot right now." Nearly ten years later Hansel is still hot right now.

Not that enjoyable. If you loved this movie I'd be curious to know why? Back to the Future it is not, it's barely an appropriate homage. Sticking a Nu Shooz song in the film only makes the time travel seem less authentic than it already does. The song is more popular now as a relic than it ever was in the 1980's. Lastly I know its been said but Crispin Glover never ages, does he know the secret to time travel?

Even though I had heard how dark this film was from everyone who had seen it, I was still not prepared for just how dark it truly is. Ronnie is a picture perfect character study on the ignorantly miserable/miserably ignorant. From his unsightly early 90's cardigan sweater to his clunky way too plastic-y white early 90's Honda motorcycle, and his tragically misguided relationships with women. We all know this guy and it's really sad.
