After a long night of partying and camera downloading (Jeremy.....:)), it was a bit tough to face the dawn and the slate of films today. But I was mightily rewarded with the first film off the bat with
Beginners. Starring Christopher Plummer as a 71 year old who embraces leaving the closet and living the life he'd wanted to for so long. His son, played by Ewan McGregor is a sweet sad sort who winds up taking care of his dad in his final months. Loved the script - so original. Loved the character of the Mom whose death after 44 years of marriage liberates the father. Loved the dog. Next up
Casino Jack - It's the fascinating
story about uber-lobbyist Jack Abramoff, and Kevin Spacey was born to play the role. I double dipped on two films in the early afternoon, The Trip and Last Night. No need to say more. Not much to say about the next one either,
What's Wrong With Virginia with Jennifer Connelly and Ed Harris. Must say a bit of a disappointment as it was directed by Dustin Lance Black (
Milk). The day ended well with the documentary
Client 9 - The Rise and Fall of Eliot Spitzer. Great intrigue filled show - a big reccommend. Only one celebrity sighting - Morgan Spurlock. I think it's cool - he's just watching movies along side we drones. Don't forget:
