The Big Chill- I'm attempting to catch up on the classics and really enjoyed this movie about college friends who reunite for a friend's funeral. I kind of have a jones for William Hurt as the coke snorting badass in this movie. Shhh, don't say anything.
On Golden Pond- Full-circle. This film is a strong career completion for Henry Fonda and Katherine Hepburn, who both won Oscars for their portrayal of an aging couple returning to their summer lake house. It's just a serene movie that says a lot about death and relationships.
There Will Be Blood- I knew this movie would be great from the trailer. Daniel Day Lewis is a cinch for the Best Actor win and Paul Dano gives another great performance. In fact, he hasn't picked a bad movie yet- L.I.E, Little Miss Sunshine, The Girl Next Door ?! This kid has great taste.
Step Up to the Streets- Um, why did this movie take itself seriously? When I pay my hard-earned nine dollars to see a movie entitled Step Up to the Streets, I expect beads of sweat to be constantly glistening off Channing Tatum's painstakingly defined abdominal region as he seductively gyrates to "Get Low." I don't care about a plot! Why would you give this movie a plot? Zero out of ten.
Next up, I will give you my predictions for the 2008 Oscar Winners. But for now, here's a track I dig from Vampire Weekend, Paul Simon's Weezer.
