Sun, 21 June 2009 This week it's two movies about con artists. First up, The Brothers Bloom, writer-director Rian Johnson's follow-up to his first film, Brick. And then it's a look back at Stephen Frears' 1990 The Grifters with John Cusask, Anjelica Houston and Annette Bening. Also Jeff sees Drag Me To Hell and Up, which leads to a discussion about the lack of female leads in Pixar films. Plus Lisa watches True Blood, The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency, Invasion and also revisits Poltergeist and is struck this time by its excellent portrayal of a married couple by JoBeth Willams and Craig T. Nelson. Also Jeff checks out Michael Bay's Transformers, which is so bad it's not even worth mentioning in these show notes. http://www.filmednotstirred.com/ Comments[0] |
