Jeffrey M. Anderson's 400 Screens, 400 Blows - The Oscar Grouch

by Jeffrey M. Anderson

As my wife said, it's just not the Oscars if there's nothing to complain about. However, I was impressed that two of the year's toughest films, Paul Thomas Anderson's There Will Be Blood (389 screens) and Joel and Ethan Coen's No Country for Old Men took...

Review: Starting Out in the Evening

This is one of the worst movies we have seen in several years. It seemed to last 4 hours! Terrible dialogue -- very strained. Forget this one.

In the movie, the writer, played by Frank Langella, says, "Follow your characters around until they do something interesting." They didn't in this film, in my opinion. I didn't get the attraction. ... Langella's character seemed so cold and suppressed that I could not understand anyone, even a literacy freak/geek being that attracted to him. What was the attraction? Yeah, his books. But, after 10 minutes alone with him, I would have been very, very disappointed and changed my thesis. The movie switched gears toward the end, which was puzzling, but at least it switched to the more interesting story of the daughter and her boyfriend. Here was a problem I could understand.
