Miscellaneous Movie Musings

I saw MAN OF THE YEAR last night. Robin Williams as the president elect. I enjoyed the film. It wasn't the movie you were lead to belive it was in the previews, I think that was a turn-off. I thought it was a neat idea, great dialoge by Williams. All the acting was great and it was very funny. The downside was it was missing somthing. I think another "pass" at the writing stage would have been needed. Maybe the structure was weird. It was enjoyable. 7 1/2 Bornieo's out of 10

THANK YOU FOR SMOKING. I heard this was a pretty good film and I thought it was just ok. Funny, interesting look at that whole side of that world. Well done. Acting was good. Just not a great movie for me. 5 Bornieo's out of 10

CRASH. Somehow I missed it in the theatres. Knew I wanted to see it because of its Best Picture win. I really loved it. Great acting. Well done all around. A group of stories that was interesting and kept my attention. It was melodramatic or preachy with the whole "race" issue. It was a complelling story about people - not explosions, car chases and four-minute soliloquies. Just about things people do and go thru. 9 Bornieo's out of 10
