After very good screenplays for the Jason Bourne trilogy and a rather good first feature film ("Michael Clayton") as a director, Tony Gilroy makes a new charming movie without much suspense nor tension. The opening battle scene between Wilkinson and Giamatti is a masterpiece of acting, and slow motion, though.
Ron Howard's attempt to make a new great biopic like "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind" fails when it only copies Clooney's "false documentary" style without bringing anything new to it. Sam Rockwell's acting is always the same (and therefor I don't even know why I like him so much ?). Langella and Sheen are very good, though.
Despite the rather cool cast of voices, this movie is only funny for children, and somewhat lacks of what some animation movies often - ironically - lack : dynamics.
I had already seen this masterpiece thrice but couldn't resist to a new projection this morning (april the 5th) in France's best theatre ever (MK2 Bibliothèque). When you already know - and worship - this film, the opening scenes (until we first hear Brion and Beck's cover of the Korgis) are simply even better. Gondry, Kaufman, Brion, Carrey, Wilkinson, Dunst, Cross... huge.
Charlie Kaufman's dreamed theater comes to life on the screen. Personally, I found my most favoured stylistic devices in this movie : setting in abyme, metonymies, synecdoches, and other tropes... My dreams aren't the same, but they really do work the same.

Gianni Di Gregorio's really sincere (and biographical) movie about a 50 year old man who's still living with his mother. All four non-professionnal elder actresses are pretty good indeed. Plus, an almost involuntary reference to Nanni Moretti's "Caro Diario" (my favourite italian movie along with "La strada").
Might be the best Clint Eastwood masterpiece. No one can make such Hollywood classics nowadays, save Clint Eastwood.

A simple yet good "polar" (french police movie) with three good actors (Cornillac, Gamblin, and Depardieu).
This movie could've been real fun, had Elie Semoun's jokes about computer geeks not been irrelevant to real nerds like me...
