DVD Reviews of Junebug
DVD Review: Good Indie!
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie has that connection with the viewer that more big-budgeted films lack.
It's part of my own collection, because it captures well the aspects or "moods" that each of the relationships goes through.
The cast chosen is note-worthy. For instance, who would it thought that Ben McKenzie had such great acting chops (other than the lame OC plots)???
Great refreshing movie!
DVD Review: Real
Summary: 4 Stars
I first decided to see this movie because I like the actors/actresses. Upon watching I was just amazed at how real life is depicted in the film. It has excitement, drama, death, and acceptance all packaged together. It's an independent masterpiece.DVD Review: well acted and directed, just not that much there for a story
Summary: 2 Stars
i enjoyed the beginning of the movie and felt it was well executed.
original and off-beat composition and editing to begin. the actress who played the pregnant sister was also very convincing. unfortunately, i didn't feel the characters were well-developed or defined ultimately and we really didn't gain insight into their emotional machinations. i was left with a shallow feeling of unfulfillment after the movie. the socially and racially challenged starving artist added to the overall gloom and disaffected quality of the film
DVD Review: Small Town Jewell
Summary: 5 Stars
A modest glimpse into small town southern life by city sophisticates, this is a disarmingly brilliant film. The jewell is Amy, whose warmth and naivety catches the city slicker off guard regards her priorities, and also forces her husband to realise the consequences of the decision he has made in his choice of partner. The film balances the perspectives of both sides with marvellous aplomb,and is peculiarly free of judgement. The soundtrack features Yo la Tango, but the film confines them to the credits, permitting the 'natural' aural landscape full sway, which augments the realism. Highly recommended!DVD Review: The True Purpose of this Movie
Summary: 1 Stars
When Obama was "politically amongst his own" in San Francisco he spoke of an America that "runs to its guns and religion" when the economy is down. This movie shows its idea of the America the Left-wing Marxists (liberals) actually "see" because they, like a cult, only stay with their own.
They believe America is like this if you disagree with them. You MUST be like these horrible southerners to disagree with liberal, elitist themes.
The female art dealer is raising money for Jesse Jackson at the beginning of the movie thru an art auction. This demonstrates the depth of the movie-maker's politics.
Just to show how "cool" she is, she has sex in the workplace just as a dog does it in the alley. This is proof of their "love", and in a most juvenile piece of filmaking (one wonders if the director ever made it sexually past adolescence himself) while in a speeding convertible the art dealer is talking on the phone while the male driver takes his hand and shoves it deep in between her legs. Wow, what JOY! What class! What Passion! What CRAP!!!!! Like a movie about sex made by virgins, lame directors try to show off what they know nothing about.
This reminds me of Crash, full of racists who also don't exist in any real numbers in real-life, but are abundant in the minds and hands of Hollywood, they're EVERYWHERE! Thus all southerners are beyond trash, beyond boring and beyond stupid. Just as anyone who would hire this director/producer team again would be; and anyone who would pay to see their work.
Description of Junebug
Rising stars Amy Adams and Ben McKenzie light up the screen in this award-winning comedy about love, family, ambition, and the choices that come with each. When worldly art dealer Madeleine (Embeth Davidtz) meets her new Southern in-laws, she finds herself questioning the things she values most inthis powerful and funny hit that critics call "one of the best pictures of the year!" (Andrew Sarris, The New York Observer)Junebug spotlights some big fat culture clashes--small town vs. city ways, art-world bohemian vs. church-going folk--yet social commentary never overwhelms a delightful, emotionally rich portrait of family life. When Madeleine (Embeth Davidtz, Schindler's List), a chic art gallery owner from Chicago, meets with an outsider artist in North Carolina she's eager to represent, she and her new husband George (Alessandro Nivola, Laurel Canyon) take a side trip to visit George's family. The visit sends everyone spinning: George's mother (Celia Weston, The Village) doubts the suitability of the marriage; his brother Johnny (Ben McKenzie, The O. C.) quietly seethes at being overshadowed again by his older sibling; and Johnny's very pregnant wife Ashley (Amy Adams, Catch Me If You Can) fixates on Madeleine, seeking in her a companionship that she can't find in her normal life. Junebug's unexpected rhythms slowly and subtly tease out the past; few movies are as eloquent about the mysteries of family--the hidden rules and resentments, the shifting alliances, the emotional pushes and pulls. Adams' justly praised performance lights up every scene she's in, flowing from comic to heartrending without missing a beat, but the rest of the cast delivers complex and mesmerizing character portraits as well. Junebug will resonate with you long after it's over. --Bret Fetzer
