Some maybe know the book by Lionel Shriver, Lynne Ramsay directed this film with actors like Tilda Swinton, John C. Reilly and Ezra Miller. Swinton is just AMAZING in this movie, she plays the mother of a teenage boy and knows her child is not ‘normal’. The young Kevin is played brilliantly by Jasper Newell, he is abusive and manipulative. Swinton thinks it’s her fault, because mothers who do not bond with their children are generally made to feel at fault - and this issue is very well conveyed. Everyone seems to condemn her and she appears at surface level to accept this, except we also see that she doesn’t! I’m sure you won’t be disappointed by this drama/thriller combination, you should check out the trailer!

The story of a young man’s adventures in the Californian pornography industry of the 1970s and 1980s. With Mark Wahlberg, Julianne Moore, John C Reilly and Burt Reynolds. Mr. Reynolds and Walhberg are great in this film. The felling of the 70s is very well captured by Paul Thomas Anderson. Its just a fun movie to watch, with original characters and good dialogs (you will be surprised of how many actors in this film are established actors by now).

Plot:

Everyone’s born with one special thing, and Eddie Adams uses his humongous “asset” to take the world of film pornography by storm. Things get ugly though when success leads to drugs and ruin. Will Dirk clean up and get back on top? Will Amber see her son? Will Rollergirl ever take off her skates?!

Even though I’m not a big musical fan, this film is terrific! I absolutely love the songs and i think the way this musical is build, the combination of modern and classic, makes it so very special and entertaining. The Plot still is up to date, you know the fame comes and goes, and showbiz is a cruel business.

Aniston and Gyllenhall are tremendous as two people drawn to the sadness and loneliness in each other and the film examines beautifully how trapped and desperate these characters are.

The film is well shot and directed and the acting is wonderful from top to bottom, the other standouts being John C. Reilly as Justines husband, and Tim Blake Nelson as his friend.

Plot:

The Good Girl, set in a sort of Mid-Western part of Texas it would seem, is the story of Justine, a woman just out of her twenties and living a life she despises. Justine works at the Retail Rodeo, a discount store that seems to sell a little bit of everything, and all with the same indifferent vigor. Its as if Justine is in Purgatory and is just waiting for release. Release seems to come to her in the form of Holden, a sullen co-worker. Holden and Justine are both outcasts, feeling that no one knows them, perhaps even themselves, and fearing every moment in life because its so monotonous. Drawn to him, Justine (Jennifer Aniston) and Holden (Jake Gyllenhall) begin a passionate love affair that begins for Justine as a game, as something fun and secret, something to break her from her monotony, but that becomes something vile as she begins to feel her husbands friend has seen them as they left a motel. Faced with the guilt of her cheating, and fearing what she feels (indeed THAT she feels suddenly, which is more of a cheat than the sex of her relationship with Holden) she puts distance between she and Holden, who begins to melt down. So Justine is now forced to decide, does she stay with her husband, who is a sweet guy but has no ambition, drive, or passion, or does she go with Holden, who is emotionally unstable but that presents her with all the passion shes been bereft of for so long?

Magnolia is a composite picture of 24 hours in Los Angeles, inter-cutting between seven stories

its a long movie, but u will love every minute of it! its magical! just watch the trailer…

Plot:

24 hours in L.A.; it’s raining cats and dogs. Two parallel and intercut stories dramatize men about to die: both are estranged from a grown child, both want to make contact, and neither child wants anything to do with dad. Earl Partridge’s son is a charismatic misogynist; Jimmy Gator’s daughter is a cokehead and waif. A mild and caring nurse intercedes for Earl, reaching the son; a prayerful and upright beat cop meets the daughter, is attracted to her, and leads her toward a new calm. Meanwhile, guilt consumes Earl’s young wife, while two whiz kids, one grown and a loser and the other young and pressured, face their situations. The weather, too, is quirky.
