Thanks for the comment...a few things:
I re...Sam:<br /><br />Thanks for the comment...a few things:<br /><br />I remember your initial thoughts on <i>Where the Wild Things Are</i> and thought about it when I was writing up my thoughts for the film. But my love of the film probably trumped any problems that there were with Jonze's vision of the classic children's book.<br /><br />Your review of <i>In the Loop</i> is what brought my attention to that film. It just took me a long time to see it, but man is that a funny movie. <br /><br />And I admit...I have an unabashed love for all things Soderbergh. I rarely think he misfires (unless it's something like <i>Full Frontal</i>) and I've been loving his DV experiments like <i>The Girlfriend Experience</i> and <i>Bubble</i>...I find them fascinating. Hell, I even liked the third <i>Oceans</i> movie...go figure. I still haven't seen <i>The Informant!</i>, though, and I don't think I'll get a chance before my year-end recap goes up. <br /><br />Thanks as always for the comment, Sam.Kevin J.

I love the 1964 Caldecott Medal winner as much as I love any children's book, but I felt Jonze didn't capture the magic, despite that impressive beginning in and around Max's house. Once we got to the island the conversation was largely gibberish. But I join you in applauding the exquisite cinematography and visual design and score (by Carter Burwell.) and there is no question that Max records delivers a great juvenile performance. The problem for me remains the screenplay.<br /> I completely agree with what you say there in your capsule review of IN THE LOOP, though I still rate it behind the more comprehensive THE THICK OF IT. But granted we are not talking here about television, but about the cinema. I couldn't agree with you more about Capaldi too! LOL!!!<br /><br /> And yes, I also agree that Cage gives his finest performances as th etitular character in the sometimes surrealistic BAD LIEUTENANT. Herzog and Cage were certianly born to work togather, and this film deliberately bends the rules to sometimes uproarious and always riveting effect.<br /> I found THE GIRLFRIEND EXPERIENCE to be a train wreck of a movie, but you make an excellent defense there. At some point I'll re-view it.<br /><br />Excellent shorts essays, look forward to more!Sam Julianonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8785859730868628316.post-10592561709397402662010-01-12T10:34:00.054-08:002010-01-12T10:34:00.054-08:00Agreed wholeheartedly on IN THE LOOP.
