'Just Rewards (2)'
A place to talk about movies--Old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
Do you mean, it's 3 stories in 2 hours, or 3 different movies?
It's three different movies, but only one is being release in the States. (Which is why we saw it at the film festival, since it was the only way to see all three.)
I think what's been released here first is the second in the narrative.
Sort of -- it's actually the first movie, but since II is a prequel, it's chronologically second.
The remake has Matt Damon and Leo DiCaprio, but I can't remember who plays which part.
it's chronologically second.
So ... second in the narrative, right?
Well...yes, except that the second film is structured so that you're supposed to already know how the characters end up. It's basically a two-hour flashback.
That Argentine film tommyrot linked to yesterday seems to have more theremin than the NY Times review led me to believe: [link]
I watched The Station Agent last night. It was a nice character study. I loved Peter Dinklage (has he been in anything else?), and Patricia Clarkson was great as always. Sometimes movies in which not a whole lot happens are a bore and sometimes, as in this case, they are moving.
Dinklage was in Living in Oblivion and Elf. I warn you though, the latter is a Will Ferrell movie.
SMG's appearing in a musical comedy but says that she won't be singing.
Dinklage was in Living in Oblivion and Elf. I warn you though, the latter is a Will Ferrell movie.
And I assuage your fears by saying it was hilarious and much better than I expected.
I don't do Will Ferrell movies. Especially ones called Elf. I think I saw Living in Oblivion (if it has Catherine Keener in it) and was a bit bored by it. Dang. I want more of the Dinklage.
What if he's on the sidelines? Like secondary character?
