City of God
I saw this movie barely knowing anything about it, but was blown away by the end of it. A great story about two boys in Rio de Janeiro who mature doing different things, the first is a drug dealer, and quite successful at it, and the other is really a photographer. The grittiness gets below your skin and stays there. www.magweb.com/actors/mechelle_epps Based about the experiences of renowned journalist Hunter S. Thomson, The Rum Diary follows Paul Kemp (Johnny Depp) during his period in San Juan, Puerto Rico in which the newspaper reporter must handle bizarre colleagues, debauched businessmen and unending nights of intoxication. While writing to get a publication for the brink of collapse, Kemp bonds with booze-loving photographer Sala (Michael Rispoli) and drug-addled columnist Moburg (Giovanni Ribisi) and is soon approached by investment big shot Sanderson (Aaron Eckhart) to sign up inside a shady property scheme. But Kemp has his eyes set on Sanderson’s sultry girlfriend Chenault (Amber Heard) and endless evenings of inebriation.

Although it’s primarily a comedy, The Dilemma delves in to the dark infidelities of faulty relationships, which uncovers some serious predicaments. The cheeriest of comic relief interludes can’t overcome the solemnity of disloyalty as well as destructive nature. But comedians Kevin James and Vince Vaughn certainly try, bringing their trademark playful, flirtatious, speedy, back-and-forth dialogue on the table. Allan Loeb writes the film, though Vaughn producing, it’s likely the scripting was heavily influenced. The sickly-sweet “getting to understand the characters” intro may be the only segment that doesn’t scream of Vaughn’s verbal work, with the moral impasse and it is resolution coming across director Ron Howard’s material. It’s a go back to comedy after having a decade of dramatic projects for that filmmaker, although not without tragicomic substance.
I, like lots of you, get frustrated while using politically correct world we live in. It’s hard to know what it is possible to say and what you’ll be able to do without offending people. Heck, offended groups can’t even be consistent just what exactly you say or do today might be acceptable now and offensive tomorrow. But I think the entire issue of smoking has gotten out of control. We know smoking is detrimental, try not to depend upon Hollywood to increase your message. Hollywood is just not responsible for raising kids or informing the joy of the hazards that men and women may face.
Besides the performances, the film also projects the complexity of self-empowerment for ladies. The all female band was legendary for rocking out on the level of men, as well as the screen is stuffed with scenes that ooze girl power. Clashing with those scenes may be the band’s interaction with Kim Fowley, who’s an aggressively dominant male figure.
