Seen Any Good Movies Lately?
DummyAdrien Brody learned ventriloquism for this movie. I liked this movie; it had a nice story. But I wanted to keep shouting, "put down the Dummy! It's kind of creepy!"
Gone Baby Gone
First Mystic River, then The Departed, now this. Why is Working-Class Boston so profoundly depressing, violent and poetically unjust? And the accents! But really, I liked this one. It's a bit of a thinker.
Half Nelson
Very well-acted film although heartbreaking and bleak. Also, an effective piece of anti-drug propaganda.
