Ocean's Thirteen

2007-09-09 06:08:00 by Gareth in gareth's movie diary
...breezily simple for George Clooney and his crew. Director Steven Soderbergh indulges his taste for Traffic -style intercutting with some of the side stories (most obviously a semi-comic tale of labour unrest in Mexico fueled by one of the heist crew), though the complexity of the heist and the number of players means that the story shuttles...

...breezily enjoyable thing in the world. The whole time theyve been married they never talked about how she shouldnt be disturbing him when hes working? Im not saying Jack should go after her with an axe or anything, but I can relate. Duvall comes off as so genuinely petrified through the entire second half of the film that its hard not to...

2007-12-18 23:59:00 by Ed Howard in Only The Cinema
...breezily executed metaphor for Germany's "Economic Miracle" and the dehumanizing toll on a society that has begun to place economics before life and happiness. Several characters in the film speak about the distinction between public life and private life, but the film itself is essentially chronicling the suppression and destruction of the...

Secret Agent

...breezily comic tone, but as the action progresses, and the eponymous agent finds himself confronted with the inevitable dirty side of his business circa 1916, things turn more serious. The same transition isn't to be found in the original source material, W. Somerset Maugham's Ashenden, or The British Agent , more cynical throughout; what is...

...breezily. He and Shelley Fabares make a charming couple and have a few tender scenes together The bikini girls are (left to right) Pamela Curran, Rusty Wells, and Gail Gilmore aka Gail Gerber Though this is a supposed beach movie where the flesh should be on display, Elvis, sporting a fit and trim physique, is never seen in shorts or a...

...breezily paced, and shifts nimbly between silly comedy, romance, and even a violent gangster yarn without ever seeming schizophrenic. It handles all these modes with a light touch and a game cast who are just consistently fun to watch

Freaks of Nature, Freakishly Good

2008-12-24 06:19:00 by Josh R in Edward Copeland on Film
...breezily ahead in her attempts, completely undaunted by his silence, you think Oh God, not one of these. (Unflagging perkiness is fine for morning talk-show hostesses, but nobody wants to encounter anyone who can approximate that quality in real life.) Any misgivings were swept aside fairly quickly, due in no small part to the warmth and...
