Catherine Keener

George Clooney, Jim Robinson

Universal Studios, 2006

Clooney, Lopez & Soderburgh are Out of Sight!!
This neglected film noir by Elmore Leonard and excellently directed by Steven Soderburgh with a fine script by Scott Frank still didn't quite make it at the box office despite great reviews. Some breakout performances by Clooney and Lopez plus their chemistry and a ...

Capote

Philip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener

Sony Pictures, 2006

INFAMOUS
276 Amazon customer reviews as of now for "Capote" and only 61 for "Infamous"... Have you heard of "the other movie"? "Capote" came out in '05 and "Infamous", right behind it, in '06. That's been at the expense of "Infamous" and more importantly of the public- ...

The 40-Year-Old Virgin (Unrated Widescreen Edition)

Steve Carell, Catherine Keener

Universal Studios, 2005

40 Year Old Virgin
Such a cute movie & very funny. A great story about (as another reviewer says) guys that care about each other. Beware for children that there is nudity, lots of 'dirty words' and adult situations. But it's all there to build the plot and characters. I love this ...

An American Crime

Ellen Page, Hayley McFarland

FIRST LOOK PICTURES, 2008

Why is this movie disturbing?
Why is this movie disturbing? It really happened, AND, things like this still happen. An American Crime has many good points. The problem is that it does not really show what happened at THE MONSTER's house to the Likens sisters. Catherine Kenner is superb as ...

Into the Wild (Two-Disc Special Collector's Edition)

Emile Hirsch, Marcia Gay Harden

Paramount, 2008

An existential odyssey
Into the Wild will not be to everyone's liking. Some people will dislike the protagonist, Christopher McCandless, and others will find the movie's pacing to be slow. Yet, I was fascinated by and even a little envious of Chris's dogged attempt to find meaning in life ...

Being John Malkovich

Orson Bean, Ned Bellamy

Universal Studios, 2002

The 40-Year-Old Virgin [Blu-ray]
Steve Carell, Catherine Keener

Universal Studios, 2008

The outrageous and unforgettable comedy delivers more laughs in this all-new special edition filled with hours of never-before-experienced pleasures! With loads of new bonus features and deleted scenes, this hilarious 2-disc set is even better than the first time. Comedy sensation Steve Carell is Andy Stitzer, a nice guy who has somehow managed to ...

If These Walls Could Talk

Vaughn Armstrong, Dena Burton

Hbo Home Video, 2000

Compelling portrayal surrounding the decison of abortion
There is not enough to say about this film, the timeline sequence was great. The challenges that these women and men face was a honest portrayal. I wish that it had touched on the expereinces that women of color endured too. Their stories often are overlooked. ...

Into the Wild

The Ballad of Jack and Rose

Camilla Belle, Daniel Day-Lewis

MGM (Video & DVD), 2005

Excellent. Daniel-Day Lewis is amazing
Wishing to be free from the contemporary world, Jack and his teenaged daughter Rose live virtually self-sufficiently and alone on a small island off the East Coast. However, all is not well in his utopia lately, as his health is failing rapidly and housing ...

Switch

Ellen Barkin, Jimmy Smits

Hbo Home Video, 2000

Don't Miss This Movie
After seeing parts of this movie on TV I just had to have it. Ellen Barkin plays a great roll and is just hilarious. It's not for the little ones, but yet it is not one to be uncomfortable with. If you want some good laughs mixed in with an unusual situation this ...

Friends with Money

Catherine Keener, Jason Isaacs

Sony Pictures, 2006

not a bad movie at all
Friends with Money was a pretty good comedy movie with a bit of seriousness and truth thrown in. It's about all these different couples who talk to each other, and then when the girlfriends and boyfriends (or wives and husbands) leave their friends home (or restaurant ...

Living in Oblivion

Steve Buscemi, Catherine Keener

Sony Pictures, 2003

His moon is in Uranus
I normally do not enjoy movies about the making of movies, so I was very pleasantly surprised to be thoroughly entertained by 'Living in Oblivion'. The reason I took the chance at all was due to the presence of Catherine Keener, one of our most overlooked and ...
