Larry Crowne with Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts. It got terrible reviews, but i kinda liked it. i like Tom Hanks and can tolerate Julia. i liked the the supporting cast a lot. George Takei is extremely weird though. He was supposed to be, but still. . .
The American with George Clooney -- it was like a passable foreign film from the seventies. i can't figure out why anyone would make it now. The ethical issues were trumped up and undeveloped. The romance had no spark, and all of the action lacked motivation. i don't mind a slowly paced film, but there has to be some kind of pay off. Afterwards, i read a review, and they called it a deconstructed action film, whatever that means. Whatever the director was trying to do went right over my head.
