Friends with Money

I wish Jennifer Aniston would get a new agent.  She stars in some really horrendous films and yet finds nice supporting roles in films like She’s the One and Office Space.  Then last year she finally hit paydirt in starring in one of the better films of the year in Rumor Has It, but it seems things are back to normal with the regrettable The Break-Up and Friends with Money as well providing yet more disappointment for fans of the girl we fell for as Rachel Green.

The film centers around three married women (Frances McDormand, Joan Cusack, Catherine Keener) and their single friend Olivia (Jennifer Aniston).  The women are all well off even if they live somewhat scattered lives.  Jane (McDormand) is married to a loving husband (Simon McBurney) whom everyone believes is gay.  Franny (Cusack) is married to a loving husband (Greg Germann) with more money than they know what to do with.  Christine (Keener) is stuck in a marriage and professional partnership with an emotionally distant man (Jason Isaacs).  And then there’s Olivia who quit her job teaching in order to become a maid.

Saw & Saw II

  • Title: Saw
  • IMDb: link

I just saw Saw. I saw Saw II first, which prompted me to see Saw as a bit of “research” for what would hopefully be a “well-written” review of Saw’s sequel, Saw II. If you saw Saw, then you may or may not want to see Saw II too. Cos’ I just found out that Saw is much better than Saw II. Sorry to burst horror movie fans’ bubbles, but it’s what we do best here at Razorfine.

De Plane, De Plane!

Flightplan

Flightplan is one of those movies with way too many Hollywood fingerprints all over it. What can you say about a movie that sets up a wonderful tense thriller for an hour and fifteen minutes and then chucks it all out the window for a farfetched Hollywood twist ending?  Although I enjoyed much of the film, in the end I left the theater disappointed.

Dragons’ World: A Fantasy Made Real

  • Title: Dragons’ World: A Fantasy Made Real
  • IMDb: link

Everybody has their own opinion on myths and fairy-tales; true, most of us don’t think any of it could be real, but Dragons’ World does a pretty convincing job. If the special effects and scientific effort doesn’t hook ya, then check it out for the T-Rex and Dragon fight, that’s pretty cool.
