definitely for a certain kind of viewer

+ I Heart This Movie

I was just glowing after seeing this movie and I definitely dropped about 30 bucks to buy this as soon as it came out, and I guess you could say it was well worth the money because I watch it so often. Jude Law and Mark Wahlberg are so funny in this! I will admit that it's very quirky and random; I ...

Lousy

+ The Creepy Children
+ Great Beginning

Absolutely enchanting. If grief and horror could ever be so practically and charmingly applied in the real world, it would probably be a better place. The writing style may off-set some, but it's quirky, odd, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's an off-beat story with unexpectedly powerful heart.

Don't watch with your family

A great and extremely quirky movie, but makes for awkward times with a family. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Beautiful.

+ Not your typical comedy

I am a big fan of Jarmusch and Bill Murray and when the two come together we see a great character named Don Johnston come to the screen. When auteur Jarmusch focuses on an actor he tends to give them the freedom they need to really bring a character to life. Like all of Jarmusch's films this one ...

+ At the Forefront of New American Cinema

I don't know how Laura Lindley does it but I can always count on her being in a great independent film. This one is wonderful though I still can't make sense of the ending. A couple divorce and the poor relationship between the couple and the boys disintegrate even further. This family wasn't ...
