last flick i saw was Laurel Canyon...
i was initially attracted by the cast of Frances McDormand and Christian Bale... (as well as Kate Beckinsale and Natascha McElhone) who never fail to give great performances. i mean, in the case of McDormand, there are actors who transform themselves with each new role, and there are others who convince you they donŽt have to... shes the second option... and i love her work. she seems to promise that if you stick with her character, you will be entertained, stirred or shaken.
i think the trouble with this flick is the story. it fails to make each character equally interesting. which in this case makes things hard to seriously.
but that doesnŽt really matter. its a sly comedy about erotic possibilities. this film depends on your expectations. i doubt youŽll be shaken, or stirred... but McDormand will leave you entertained.
