My co-worker's dad wrote the book it is based on, and is also the cartoonist/writer played by Jake Gyllenhaal in Zodiac. Both Auto Focus and Zodiac are good books and Kinnear is just fantastic in the movie. I really enjoyed it.

Have not seen this trailer yet, nor have I heard anything about this upcoming movie. Looks pretty interesting...

Watched yet another GREAT but unheralded movie on either Encore or Starz this morning... CBGB, the story of the coolest music club ever known to man.
Television, The Dead Boys, Blondie, The Ramones, The Talking Heads, Iggy Pop, Richard Hell... ALL of these guys and more got their start here because no one else would have them. Alan Rickman is GREAT as Hilly Kristal, the man was just eccentric and **** ed up enough to deserve what he got in the end, the man was totally dedicated to the music, even after the club became a landmark, he was still being a profligate spender, not paying attention to his books, not paying the bills, not caring what certain media circles were saying. He was an idiot savant teenager in a grown mans body IMO, just smart and stubborn enough to stick to his guns. The cartoon storyboard effects they use are cheap and unnecessary, they hurt the movie... but still, this is a great watch for anyone who loves rock n roll. Before I even knew what in the hell it was about, I wanted and got a CBGB OMFUG t-shirt Country Blue Grass Blues and Other Music For Uplifitng Gourmandizers |

The best thing I can say about Don Jon is that I liked it enough to finish it. The acting is great. Really convincing. The problem is that the characters are completely unlikable douchebags.

I really liked Don Jon. And it got 81% from critics on RT, 61% from audiences. Just saying, those of you that didn't like it are in the fairly clear minority.

I watched it all, and it was mildly amusing. I didn't hate it. 1 star. |

Don Jon was trash. If that had anyone but JGL attached to it it wouldn't even have been made.
