Bunch of Movie Reviews

The Clearing - 3 out of 5 stars

Robert Redford, Helen Mirren and Willem Dafoe are all very strong actors, too bad this story line had nowhere to go. It's essentially a hostage thriller, but it plays longer than it is. The time line keeps moving back and forth confusing the viewer and the ending is just anti-climatic. Watch it for the acting, that's about it.

Intermission - 4 out of 5 stars

Irish black comedy featuring a ton of Irish talent. Colm Meany (the dad in the Commitments), Colin Farrell and Cillian Murphy (28 Days Later lead) are the main three men in this interwoven story about love, money and fame. The story lines about a girl with a mustache and a little kid who throws rocks at moving cars are so wrong that they are so right. There's jerking off, rough sex, kidnapping, bank robbery, drinking and brown sauce sandwiches everywhere in this little Irish community. I didn't laugh out loud, but I was interested all the way through this one.
