This movie was nominated this year for Best Picture at the Oscars. I watched it as a rental and thought it was interesting. It was definitely a dark noir type of film. A traditional Jewish family growing up in the 1960's going through non-traditional issues. It was definitely interesting and I'm sure I was not the target audience. I am not sure how it ended up on the Best Picture list but I am open to any discussion about it! As always I should say! I'm always open for discussion about movies. :)
Ok, so I'm glad I didn't pay $12.50, and I'm a little upset I spent the $5.00 on it at Blockbuster, but it was a slow week and I saw a new movie. :)
I'd recommend it if you are into dark noir and indie type films. Or just anything out of the ordinary. Again, it's more of an adult film, wait not that kind of adult film! The kind our parents might relate to more!
I felt so bad for the main character the whole movie. He is a hard working husband who just wants to provide for his family and be happy and he keeps getting the bad end of the stick. So, if you aren't into black noir or depressing movies, I'd skip it.

- I’m just another girl next door. I am a huge movie buff and like to think I have seen many of them. :) I don’t have a particular genre that I gravitate more, but rather I enjoy experiencing any new aspect; a new genre, a new style or a new media. I am graduating from college in a few months with my Bachelor’s degree and like many college graduates these days, I am having trouble picking a career path that suites me. So, I thought, since my dream goal is to be the next Ebert & Beth-Jo, I have to start somewhere. I have created a movie review blog for my own personal time to hopefully put me closer to the prime time show and a professional blog for my education purposes dedicated to the understanding and discussion of education in different Medias. Naturally, I hope you will enjoy both blogs. Both are very different from each other and will offer different voices but with the same underlying tones. I hope you enjoy!!
