Robert Downey Jr does an outstanding job of presenting Chaplin in a likable and realistic way. His physical comedy and mannerisms are so dead on with how Chaplin performed. He does it well and effortlessly. The movie made me very interested to look more into his life. My major critique would be that his 3rd wife in the film, although she was much younger than Chaplin, never ages in all the years that they're together. The only thing that changes are her clothing styles. While Downey Jr obviously has quite a bit of aging work done on him, this woman never acquires a wrinkle nor a grey hair.
My one other critique, though more minor, is that Downey Jr's eyes are so glassy and he looks so tired throughout the film, that for the first 10 minutes after he was on the screen we ended up discussing his drug habits as it appears he may have been using during the filming (based on his appearance alone...who knows though he could have just been really tired)
All in all, a very enjoyable and interesting movie. It's one that I may end up buying I'll give it 9/10

Star, I saw this movie awhile back and I loved it. I thought Robert Downing, Jr. did an incredible job portraying the legend. I love Charlie Chaplin films; so I found he captured the essense of the man, and like you, I really wanted to learn more about him after seeing this fine film. I think all you wrote above is well thought out and fair. I believe that Downing won the Oscar that year for his performance - well deserved, if he did!

Knowing...9/10...it had nicholas cage in it...and he gave up his child in a split second...knowing that he was gonna die himself!!!!

I saw it too, but don't really think there is something to 9\10. Too much cliches.
P.S. The alien ship was nice.

Coffee and Cigarettes 8/10 a little strange and disconnected, but quite interesting...

When I was younger I used to think of his films as just silly, but as I got older and after watching the movie, it gave me a lot more insight. I didnt know he won an award for it but I'm glad if he did as it was well deserved

You and I should get together and watch some movies as it seems we have similar taste in them!

Such a fantastic movie. I can't remember the last time I've cried so much watching a movie. Thankfully I watched it alone. It made such an impact on me.

Hula Girls ~ Sang-il-Lee (2006) When a small Northern Japanese mining town learns the mines will soon be closing a group of coal miners daughters decide to open a "little Hawaii" tourist attraction. They hire an outsider to teach the girls hula dancing and despite the fact that most of the town is slow to accept the changes that will take place, the girls are a hit. This is a heartwarming story that had me a little weepy eyed at the end. Highly recommend. 9/10

Out of the Past. Great film noir.

8/10

The First Night- 7/10
- a required film in our English Lit class.

'The Year One' Ok I guess, but a little slow.

Just love to watch Jack Black... Soooo funny.

6/10

Little Mary

La Teta asustada - Claudia Llosa

The story of a young peruvian woman, Fausta, who sticks a potato up her vagina from fear of being raped like her mother was in her youth. A powerful tale about the weight of our past and of tradition upon everyday life. Very good directing and acting.

"Strange and disconnected" seem good ways to describe it, I agree! I loved the dialogue between Iggy Pop and Tom Waits! :lol:


I just finished watching Valkyrie about an hour ago. Tom Cruise may have gotten quite these past years, but he can certainly still act - wow! The subject-matter sounded quite interesting from the first time I heard about it, based on a true story, about Nazi officials, particuarly Cruise's character, a colonel, in early-1940's World War II, attempting to assassinate Adolf Hitler. Valkyrie definitely had a few melodramatic parts, but I thought it a beautifully directed story, carefully pieced together, well acted in, and certainly worthy of its popularity.
Rating: 9.5/10.

I have just watched all the Harry Potter films and loved them all. I have not got around to reading the books yet but after seeing the films I think I will have to read them.

Last night I watched Till Human Voices Wake Us.. I hadn't seen it in years.. I love it 9/10... so tragic and sad though... :bawling:

Ice Age 3D... was really good bar i thought the 3D kind of messed with my eyes a bit too much.
