47 two movies
GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK
it's the new movie from george clooney as a director. he also stars in it but it's david strathairn that takes on the major role. i've always liked strathairn. he's that kind of actor you see in many movies and who is always good but who just never gets to play the main character. here he impersonates a news broadcaster who brought down McCarthy with some television shows that showed what an asshole mccarthy was. the subject is a bit boring and not to everyones taste. it's very political and it's very clear that clooney is not a fan of conservatist politics. however, the movie did not bore me at all. i loved the cinematography although most of it is set within a studio and they use a lot of images from the fifties. the movie is in black and white and the scenes are well directed. the opening scene is pretty cool. you see the main characters at a reception and it seems like none of them are acting. good start. after each 'chapter' you have this black woman sing this jazzy song about what's happening. that was original too. and strathairn is cool. he even makes you believe that he is a smoker alhtough he never inhaled (from what i read). he doesn't look as attractive as in la confidential or the river wild though. he looks old. but whatever.
THE 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN
i really did not want to see this picture as the reviews were not so good and i thought i don't like the actor in the leading role who does the american version of the office. BUT everybody seems to like this movie and it is a big hit and i got in for free after the other movie had ended. (yeah, they still have that here in the states where you can go to another room after one movie has finished). and guess what? I liked it. i laughed so much. i really needed a funny movie like that. it's actually not as nerdy as i thought it would be and the end is pretty romantic. the main character is a nerd but you understand why he is still a virgin. at least i did. and he does want to try and get laid. but his colleagues at work are hilarious. they really want him to get laid although their love and sex life sucks too. there are some really funny scenes in this movie and i loved catherine keener as the woman he ends up wanting to have the first sex with.
