Match Point (2005)
A+ entertainment
Well, I just loved Match Point. The acting was superb throughout. Jonathan Ryhs Meyers & Scarlett Johanson played great against each other. Really every actor stayed right in character and there's no annoying acting moments. Tennis as a metaphor for chance. Opera & ballet & Dostovesky get the Woody Allen treatment, but NOT the heavy- handed campy once over that's in other his other movies. Here, he's serious. There is a development, toward the end of this movie, that was so very Un-Allen that I never thought it would happen. (I can't spoil this unfolding, but I wonder aloud if Match Point contains the first time ever that a Woody movie went down this path?) Anyways, MP was just so very enjoyable I know you'll give it thumbs up.
The Chumscrubber (2005)
Great Movie
When does an indie movie have so many mainline actors that its no longer indie? I don't know. With Glenn Close & Ray Finnes & John Heard -- and that other guy on Invasion -- well, the cast is deep. This movie keeps surprising you & you will NOT be bored or let down. I suggest you see it & forget about the drugs & suburbia & see how eventually "you get what you give." The soundtrack includes 1 track from Snow Patrol & 1 from Placebo -- both very great choices. It's not a pure comedy but the parents are truly real life caricatures. I live in NYC & I have truly met some parents who ARE these movie characters. Laughable, but unbelievable, yet real. There are no sudden endings that spring from nowhere. The movie unfolds & the characters always stay true to their parts. Please, check it out.
