Tim Sigur (tsigur)

Not as bad as I thought it was going to be (obviously I thought it was going to be terrible). Sasha Grey isn't bad, but the whole problem that I had with the movie was that I didn't know if we were supposed to feel bad for her or if Soderbergh was going for something different. The whole thing is all about what most every Hollywood asshole is interested in: I wonder what that call girl's that I just took a shit on life is like after she leaves this Four Seasons through the back door. I love how these guys are still confused about women when the whole thing stems from the fact that the entire environment that they live is basically a joke (a really expensive joke). I will say this, though, the movie looks great, I liked the things said about the economy and how it associated with the film (topical taken to new heights), and I thought the ending was fantastic.

Talk about a sophomore slump. Gilroy went from making one of the best films a couple of years back to this confusing and completely mind boggingly twisty movie. Look, I can watch Clive Owen and Julia Roberts go back and forth all day, but the plot was annoying and the whole thing was way too long. Speaking of which, what a waste of a fantastic cast that keep it watchable until the end. I will say one thing for this film, Robert Elswit does an outstanding job with the cinematography (what more do you expect from PTA's right hand man). It's too bad because I was rooting for this movie until the end which is ridiculous. Why would you make the people who you made look like the coolest people on earth for two hours (it's so long) and then in the end make them look like assholes?

My favorite movie of all time. DeNiro puts on a clinic and Scorsese is at the top of his game. Flawless!

The greatest ending of all time and Nicholson is genius! Raffelson is an unsung hero.
