Elizabethtown
After losing his job, shoe designer Drew Baylor contemplates suicide. Then his life changes when he meets an optimistic airline attendant. Orlando Bloom and Kirsten Dunst star in a film written and directed by Cameron Crowe
Cameron Crowe has never been the most disciplined of directors. Well known for being unable to let go of his projects, his Oscar-winning Almost Famous (2000) spawned a DVD 'Bootleg Cut' that ran over two-and-a-half hours long. His latest, the wistful romantic comedy Elizabethtown, had 12 minutes pruned from it after a tour of the autumn film festival circuit. Sadly, it's not enough; like life in the eponymous Kentucky town, Crowe's film is amiable enough but slow-paced. A tribute, in part, to his late father, it's also very indulgent...
mmm, i actuallly liked it!
...unlike most people who have left reviews. I liked almost famous and was very unsure about this, as it does look a touch lightweight. I'm glad to say that it's a really good film, with dunst in top form and nicely shot and directed scenes. It's quite funny in parts, typically cool in others, touching at times and always holds your interest. As for the complaint about the flags, well, have you been to the states? that's what it's actually like! So no problem there, just enjoy the film and don't be so bloody high and mighty, its's a decent film. Bloom was alright in this, not great but not bad either, which is fine, this isn't an acting masterclass, just a film to watch, so give this film a go if you liked almost famous, or virgin suicides, which it re...
Elizabethtown
Carina ChocanoWhat's the difference between a failure and a fiasco? That's the first question Orlando Bloom's character, Drew Baylor, asks himself in Cameron Crowe's Elizabethtown, and the question he keeps asking throughout. It also echoes some of the critical response that followed the movie's premiere at the Venice and Toronto film festivals, making it seem uncannily prescient and self-aware.
In Toronto, Elizabethtown was introduced with a disclaimer, and Crowe has since trimmed it by about 15 minutes. But I doubt the edit will change the minds of anyone who didn't like it the first time around. The new version remains, in many ways, a mess of a movie ??? but a warm, friendly mess that's hard not to like, even when it tests your patience.
Despite his...
