Punch drunk love


From Aileen (who does not have access to blogger but who will email her reviews):
Hi readers. hihihihi. I've been away for a long time, but now i'm back. A friend of mine lent me 30 dvds. I will try to watch and review two movies a day for the next two weeks.
punch drunk love
I haven't watched a comedy in a long time. Not sure if Punch Drunk Love is a comedy, but it made me laugh - really laugh - maybe once every 5 to 10 minutes. It's about a guy with a lot of (understandably) repressed anger. When he lets it out, we feel good for him, but also a bit nervous, because this guy always seems to run into trouble, mostly because other people don't understand him. The dialogue and the shots are consistently surprising (which produces emotions, if predictability dulls the senses). Adam Sandler and Emma Watson are very sweet in this movie.
Next up will be There Will Be Blood - by the same director, Paul Thomas Anderson. Also, Dogville - because Emma Watson was also in Breaking the Waves directed by Lars Von Trier, who directed Dogville.
