Hitchcock and Kubrick Lover

Ok..so I'm tired of hearing of the Aileen Wournos murders...the story is dead and buried...I didn't find the movie to be that interesting and controversial...but Theron's performance is worth the price of admissions and controversial enough...bravo for one of hollywoods most beautiful actresses to go that full out...At this point...I hope it's either Nicole or her that takes home Oscar...

Lisa Kudrow does get type-casted as the ditz far too often. If you look at her character, she's not a ditz...she's sometimes a little nutty, but she pulls off the perfect Jewish American Princess. Damon Waynes, who is somewhat overshadowed by the rest of the cast plays the rapper very well, promoting sex and violence in all his songs. Christine Baranski of course is always straightlaced funny. She plays the senator that is suing Kudrow's ailing father's company. I was a little upset that Jane Krakowski got her own billing and the other two of Marci's friends were after her, probably just because of her Tony win and recent Ally McBeal success, but she had just as big a part as the other two and they were left at the end of the leading cast list. I think the person that absolutely steals the movie in all the scenes she's in is Sherie Rene Scott who plays Marci's best friend, Kristen. She is so funny and plays a great airhead. People know Sherie Rene Scott from the role of Amneris in Broadway's Aida, and her roles as Cathy in Off-Broadway's Last Five Years and Debbie in Off-Broadway's Debbie Does Dallas. She has an amazing voice and nice to see her on the big screen with a fairly big part. She steals the show from most of the cast if she's in a scene. I thought the movie was hysterical and you kinda have to have a stomach for religious and racial jokes. it's funny and I recommend!!

Todd Haynes really outdid himself here. He captured every aspect of seemingly perfect 1950's connecticut. The acting was flawless, Julianne Moore has always been a favorite, and shows such depth and is amazing...but the real wow for me was Dennis Quaid in the film. Absolutely astonishing. Most young people (ages 16-25) will probably not enjoy this movie only because it deals with a time that they're not familiar with and they're not moved. I am 18 and saw this with some of my peer friends. They HATED it, they're also not familiar with the time, and were very unmoved by the characters. This movie says alot and trully gets down past the surface where everything was seemingly alright in the 50's...but Todd Haynes portrays it in a very dark way, yet still keeping the freshness and happiness of 1958. Breathtaking. Run to see it.
