Urgent Update...

:o))) Urgent because I've watched SO many movies lately. Here are the ones that I really liked:

Breaking and Entering: It was definitely an entertaining movie that captures your attention from the beginning to the end. Jude Law's performance is average compared to his other performances (i.e. Closer). He is definitely still very nice to watch :o)) Juliette Binoche's performance, however, I thought was brilliant. She is so very convincing as a Bosnian immigrant, and uses the accent so very well, if you didnt know any better you'd actually think she's Bosnian.
The plot is rather interesting and makes you think about how lives can depend on one another, and even on strangers. You CAN help others. You CAN be used. You CAN abuse. Some do want to be abused. Some tire of being abused. And some just tire about it all at their boiling point.

Factotum: Not sure if you read the book by Charles Bukowski. I had, and at the beginning I thought the movie was pretty off from the plot point of view. The story is basically about a laid back writer trying to make a living off of odd jobs until he gets fired from one and tries finding another one. Along the way he finds women, alcohol and gambling to be an irresistable part of life.
Matt Dillon's performance is as expected from him, realistic and captivating. He becomes the character and makes you feel Chinaski's laxed ways. You start saying "who cares" before him after awhile. It was an interesting movie that ends just in time. :o)

Little Children: Probably the best movie I've watched this season. It is so close to reality, about so many things that we try not to think about that you'll definitely get the chills a few times while watching. The movie is about marriage, married life, kids, parenthood, suburban lives, unrealized ambitions, and secret neighborhood affairs.
Kate Winslet definitely gives a very powerful performance as a "desperate housewife" who is trying to find what she's been looking for, yearning for, practically all her life.
Patrick Wilson uses all of his charm to portray the failing lawyer-turned-stay-at-home-dad in the neighborhood. He is believable but remains silenced by Winslet's performance. Still, his appearances in the swim suit, and his neighborly presence does no harm... ;o))
Wilson and Winslet together create a charming couple in one of the best movies to watch this summer!

Ocean's Thirteen: And of course... I watched it. Yes, right, I am no Brad Pitt fan. But who can resist George Clooney, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, Andy Garcia AND Al Pacino? Oh and George Clooney... did I say George Clooney?
I saw the movie the first day it came out and went with absolutely NO expectations. Actually with very low expectations following some of the Cannes reviews I read. But to my pleasant suprise it was very enjoyable. I mean dont expect any shakesperean performances, but the story line and the jokes were all very entertaining. At the end I would recommend anybody to see this movie and just enjoy it.
Oh, did I mention how good George Clooney was? Especially on the eyes? :o))
