Re: Movies Watched Recently
Hollywood Land: Interesting but slow movie. Great performances from Ben Affleck and and Adrien Brody.
The Illusionist: As this was Edward Norton's first movie in years I was excited to see it, but I have to say I was a bit disappointed. It was a waste of everyone's talent involved, and Jessica Biel's faux-rrussian accent was embarrassingly obvious. On the other hand it was entertaining enough for me to watch it all the way through.
The Proposition: By far the best western I have seen in years. Incredible performances from the stellar cast, homage to the old school westerns from a time when Hollywood knew how to make great movies, and shockingly brutal and violent. I recommend it.
All The Kings Men: What a disappointment. With an all star cast and a great story, I was expecting something great. BUt I was so bored I stopped watching the movie after 20 minutes! Sean Penn is great as usual but the story was so uninteresting I couldnt bare to watch it anymore.
