    “Big Fish” Movie Review

    “Big Fish” Plot Summary

    A story about a son trying to learn more about his dying father by reliving stories and myths his father told him about himself.

    Beautiful and Unexpected

    As a lifelong Burton fan, I approached this film with high hopes, and no trepidation whatsoever. Honestly, I have never met a Tim Burton film I haven’t liked for one reason or another, but Big Fish is only the second to make me cry (Edward Scissorhands being the first). I was expecting a deep storyline, wonderful cast of characters, and little confusion from time to time, but I got so much more than these things. We have all had a ‘big fish’, it’s the one that grows and grows until it takes on a life of it’s own, before long you don’t need to tell the story anymore, because that fish is just one step ahead of you. Bloom didn’t lie, he told his own version of the truth, a heartwarming, romantic, and enthralling truth. The cast was nothing short of stellar (especially Billy Crudup making one of his rather rare on-screen appearances). The characters made Big Fish what it is, each and every one influencing the progression of an incredible story you can only hope holds some truth. The elements of love, friendship, and family are embedded in the symbolism and dialogue. The visuals are captivating and awe inspiring. No one does it like Tim Burton, and Burton will struggle to ever create a film to match this…I would (and do) recommend it to everyone.

    “Broken Flowers” Movie Review

    “Broken Flowers” Plot Summary

    As the devoutly single Don Johnston is dumped by his latest girlfriend, he receives an anonymous pink letter informing him that he has a son who may be looking for him. The situation causes Don to examine his relationships with women instead of moving on to the next one, and he embarks on a cross-country search for his old flames who might possess clues to the mystery at hand. add synopsis

    Liked it

    Jarmusch aims for the mainstream

    Murray visits his ex-girlfriends to find out which of them sent him a letter

    Similar in structure to The Swimmer – at the first people are friendly but gradually turn nasty. Watchable movie with many good scenes – sometimes you feel sorry for Murray but other times you feel sorry for the women he visits. The best scene has Murray visiting a nervous childless woman and her husband – very nice couple. Similar to many independent American movies of recent years – but more enjoyable

    Broken Flowers is worth a look.

    “Alone in the Dark” Movie Review

    “Alone in the Dark” Plot Summary

    Based on the video game, Alone in the Dark focuses on Edward Carnby, a detective of the paranormal, who slowly unravels a mysterious events with deadly results.

    Brilliant casting

    Tara Reid as an intellectual, Christian Slater(usually great) as a dollar store Constantine and Stephen Dorff as…well it’s STEPHEN DORFF FOR Christ SAKE!!!! I personally just want to thank those brilliant casting directors for the hard work and effort. You guys are on. Heres an idea, just my humble lowly opinion as the movie going public but it follows directly with your previous choices,a movie about the most brilliant neuro-physicist in history invent one pill to cure all diseases ever known to man and get this, heres the clincher they have to be played by Jessica Simpson and Paris Hilton. I knew you guys would love that. Seriously though you owe me $7.50.
