125 - 126 Tropic Thunder

126 - Tropic Thunder

It's pretty much already the talk of the town that Robert Downey Jr.'s character was the best with this crew. It movie was probably too stocked with names (Black, Stiller, Nolte) but it still came out ok. Oh.....and Tom Cruise's Len Grossman.......nah I still have displeasure watching him.

124 - My Blueberry Nights


Wong Kar Wai's movies deal a lot with introspection and My Blueberry Nights follows the same path. Have you ever turned away or displaced yourself from a situation, only to find your way back in its shadow in some other form? These things are usually meant to show us who we are, but sometimes it is simply to ask us to look again. Does it mean you should turn back? Perhaps its a question of perspective...instinct...or just simply time. Norah Jones was an unusual but great pick for the role and pairing her with Jude Law works. Natalie Portman showed a lot of confidence with dialogue (and accent), but I somehow feel this character was still amiss for her. It was a wonderful surprise to see Chan Marshall (in pic above).
