Sherrybaby (2006)
Great Performance
I saw this movie at Sundance and thought Maggies' performance was WOW. There is so much junk that makes it to the big screen, I am surprised this movie did not get widescreen release. Obviously the "suits" think movies that make you think won't appeal to mainstream audiences. While at Sundance watching this film, I was sitting near two woman that were adult probation officers and they stated that the movie was very realistic and thought the Director did a great job of capturing what woman go thru after they are released from prison. They also said that most woman in jail have been sexually or physically abused at sometime in their life. Great job and kudos to all those that worked on this movie!
Joyeux Noël (2005)
Excellent Movie
I saw a sneak preview today and thought it was a wonderful movie. It really showed the human side of soldiers during war and how those that run the war have a different viewpoint from those that fight the war. It uses humor, sadness, violence, and compassion to show you who these characters are and at the end, you care about them and what happens to them. At the preview, we had a movie critic who had some facts about this movie that he shared. In reality, there was a cat and it was found guilty of treason and it was executed. They filmed a scene showing the cat being executed but decided to edit it out of the final movie. That to me showed the absurdity of war. It was a very touching and heartwarming story and I highly recommend this movie.
