The book of Eli
9/10
Truly an unique special film. I dint expected a single scene of this movie
Agreed, I enjoyed it
Yeah, it was enjoyable but "
Truly an unique special film. I dint expected a single scene of this movie"? C'mon, that's the Fallout junkie in you talking, right?
Watch this together with The Road and you basically have Fallout - The Movie.
I like how I even liked it better the 2nd viewing. First time around I was indeed hoping for a Fallout kind of movie (like a big scale story, with different factions and such) but the second time around I knew what was coming and could appreciate the movie itself better.
But, to stay on topic:
Cyrus [2010]
Sweet little movie about a middle age divorcee (John C Reilly - Boogie Nights, Talladega Nights, The Aviator, etc.) who's fallen into a depression after his wife left him....7 years ago. He finally meets a new woman (überMILF Marisa Tomei - The Wrestler, My Cousin Vinnie) but things get complicated when he meets her grown-up son who still lives at home. The son, played by Jonah Hill (Superbad, Get Him To The Greek, Knocked Up), of course has issues with his mom's new friend (who wouldn't with a mom that hot, haha) and what follows is a lovely but awkward comedy.
Of course we've seen stuff like this before, but the way the movie focusses on details and lets the actors actually act makes it stand out. The characters are somehow real and human despite the somewhat cliché plot, and they make it work. John C Reilly just pwns parts like this, and he deserves a chance to headline a movie. Jonah Hill downplays it wonderfully and never becomes an unbelievable charicature. And Marisa Tomei...*sigh*...
A solid 7/10.
