Why all the buzz behind Away from her? I am always fascinated by the movies that get buzz from nowhere: the charming little miss sunshine is a great example. So this is why I rushed to rent this film: all the nominations, all the awards. hey, they were saying Julie Christie was better than Cotillard (because that's what winning an acting award means, right?). well, I was disappointed. this is an OK film.It is better than a movie of the week. It deals with very pertinent issues very well. And the acting is top calibre. But, it doesn't deserve all the buzz. Julie Chritie, gorgeous and captivating as always, is not better than Cotillard this year.

Michael Clayton is to G Clooney what K pak was to K Spacey, an exercise on self indulgency. But the viewer is at falut here. We know that actors producing, starring and influencing their own movies are bound to demand being in every scene, long deep unnecessary close ups, long speeches, and whatever it takes them to get an Oscar nomination. All that was missing was clooney having sex or half naked...or maybe he was, but i was too busy yawning and clearing my eyes as to not fall asleep and make sure i got my $15 worth. This is a pointless movie about evil business written by people who don't understand businesses acted by people who have never hold a position of management in their lifes. Please don't waste your time.
