Quick reviews of recent DVDs viewed…
Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Another one of Jim Carey’s interesting non-rubber-faced roles. Reminded me a bit of Being John Malkovich and 12 Monkeys, but a tad more confusing before you know what’s going on. Very enjoyable.
Coffee and Cigarettes. An all-star cast, mostly playing themselves, in a series of dialogue-driven vignettes, one filmed as long ago as 1987. Clever 2xCate Blanchett bit. Very good Steve Coogan/Alfred Molina sequence. Some great lines. I see a critic on IMDB panned it, but I found it quite amusing.
