Editor’s note: The following review must be sung to the tune of “Same Old Lang Syne” by Dan Fogelberg.
-
MET my old lover near the grocery store
-
The snow was falling Christmas Eve
-
She sniffed my butt and then she wagged her tail
-
And I barked to say, “Let’s leave.”
-
We trotted over to the multiplex
-
Wanting to see “Marley & Me,”
-
Where Owen Wilson gets to have some sex
-
With the Aniston - Jenny.
-
We watched a story of a Labrador
-
Who eats the couch and disobeys
-
I said to Lady, “It’s a labra-bore”
-
She said, “Scout, you overpraise.”>b?
-
The dog steals Frisbees and at storms he barks
-
That’s not exactly life on Mars
-
Between the leads I couldn’t see the sparks
-
They’re less fun than chasing cars.
-
They fret about her pregnancy
-
They fight about the dog
-
They make a go of co-dependency
-
But watching them’s a slog.
-
It seems that Owen is a columnist
-
Whose work is cute and safe and wry
-
I wouldn’t say he is a solipsist
-
But he’s such a boring guy.
-
Though Alan Arkin plays an eminence -
-
His boss who says his views are great -
-
The script is dull, there is no evidence
-
Gags fail and then abate.
-
It’s when the couple goes to Ireland
-
Things turned so dull I took a snooze
-
The movie’s fit for me to pee upon
-
Like the Sunday Daily News.
-
I said to Lady, “Let’s go stroll
-
Let’s howl at the moon.
-
We’ll get some drinks at some nice toilet bowl.
-
We’ll sniff a dead raccoon.”
-
She said, “Hey, Scout, you’re on my list
-
The next time I’m in heat
-
Until then, Scout, you must desist
-
Your offer’s really sweet.”
-
The film got better toward the end at least
-
The dog gets old as all dogs must
-
This Labrador is such a noble beast
-
He leaves Owen in the dust.
-
Still we decided it was two paws down.
-
And then I spoke up casually -
-
But when I did she couldn’t hide her frown:
-
“It’s neutered - just like me.”
-
MARLEY & ME
-
Woof.

thx to PT.

Believe or not, I had entertained the idea of taking my kids to Marley and Me because of the book, but after reading this, NO WAY!

SPOILER ALERT — This is how the dog-dying scene goes.

“Listening to the comedically neutered Wilson and dramatically incapable Aniston ***** and moan about their chosen circumstances is enough to make one sprint to the exit, but doing so would mean missing what may be the year’s most shameless and appalling sequence, in which—spoilers ahead!—Frankel cuts back and forth between the misty-eyed oldest Grogan son watching home movies of himself with Marley, and John standing at Marley’s doctor’s-office deathbed, the lethal injection IV tubes rammed right up into the frame’s foreground. The indecency doesn’t stop there, however, since Marley & Me then concludes with a front-yard funeral in which the three Grogan kids read letters to their deceased pet and then throw them on his blanket-wrapped, grave-encased corpse, a bit of vomitous melodrama to cap off an exploitative tearjerker that runs 125 minutes but, in Marley years, feels like an agonizing eternity.”

Predictions (the next few weeks will prove me right or wrong:

Bedtime Story — will do well probably through the holidays; drop off after that.

Marley & Me — will do well the first weekend, then look for a big drop-off the second weekend and downhill from there.

Doubt — modestly successful first weekend, will develop legs and have a good run past the holidays. GG nominations and Oscar buzz will keep it running.

CCOBB — will do well through the holidays; will be a big hit past the holidays if it grows legs due to GG and SAG nominations and Oscar buzz.

Valkyrie — moderate first weekend and all downhill from there.

Jill

when is the last time your idol had hit moive. i am sure he will not giong to have a hit moive unless George Cloonyin it. poor guy, He does not have the ablity to pull people to his moive.

Burn After Reading
Thanks to George Cloony
Ocean 13
thanks to George Cloony

he need help from cloony or his girl freind. by himself he can do nothing. poor guy.

Jill

and also, Jen did not bad, for which most of her moive are not big budget movies.

Jill

i am talking about Armpit. let stay on the subjet. he can not do well on moives boxoffice unless Goerg Clooney or his girlfeind is on his moive. he does not have ablity motivating people to comeout and see unless the two of them are on his moive.

come on those two were nominated everyear since they met , but they did not get one award. that mean they just nominated them becuase they are the number one media H, for rating. but no one to give them an award. poor them. they desprately want one.

Jill, I don’t think bet is stupid, but what Santa needs to give her is a BIG dose of a REALITY CHECK. As in every other JenFans, and Aniston herself, bet is in deep denial.

Marley & Me
A film review by Bill Gibron - Copyright © 2008 Filmcritic.com
-
Instead of being uplifting and heartwarming, this excruciating effort is 90 minutes of mediocrity followed by 10 minutes of the most manipulative, mean-spirited pap ever put into a movie made for families.
-
Marley and Me is mush. If the orphans in Oliver Twist were served this particular brand of syrupy slop, they’d refuse seconds and secretly discard the portion they already had. This is warm and fuzzy as crass and calculated.
-
Are we supposed to find the endless arguments between Wilson and the certified entertainment void Aniston interesting or compelling?
-
Brian’s Song didn’t have this protracted of a sendoff for James Caan. Overlong and overwrought, Marley and Me doesn’t do its source material justice. Instead of being heartwarming, it’s soul crushing.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ is a poetic masterpiece

December 23, 3:22 PM
by Marcos Bernal-Salas, NY Film Review Examiner

If we could only know at the moment we are born the answers to the questions: What is life all about? How can anyone live it to the fullest without regret? Then everyone’s life will be much happier and blissful. And it’s no wonder that F. Scott Fitzgerald began writing a short story in the 1920’s inspired from a quote from Mark Twain; “Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of 80 and gradually approach 18.” So it seems fitting such an inspiration is now the most anticipated movie of the year. ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ is a classic masterpiece combining magic and wonder onto the screen.

Director David Fincher, ‘Se7en’, ‘The Game’ and ‘Fight Club’, has outdone himself capturing the essence of life, love and everything in between with amazing finesse. The story unfolds slowly - not to confuse that with a slow-paced momentum - in order to build all the characters in the story and around Benjamin. Although he is the main character in the story, at first is about the people he comes in contact with. To understand it all: in the film Benjamin is born old - diagnosed as a baby born with diseases and the appearance of an 80-year-old person. He is abandoned at the local elderly home by his father in reaction to such a strange birth. However, Benjamin is taken and accepted by the elders at the home who seem nothing out of the ordinary in him; as one character puts it he was just dealt a bad hand. Queenie, wonderfully performed by Taraji P. Henson (‘Hustle & Flow’), becomes Benjamin’s adoptive mother whose love and candor – with a dose of sharp wit and spirit - build his loving and compassionate outlook for life.

As Benjamin ages backwards he enjoys the strange and unique concepts about life from the many elderly characters around him, the love, the acceptance between life and death - that although fickle just like love it exist to create a balance in life. The lesson learned is that life is full of surprises; and that alone takes Benjamin to explore it without regrets and with a sense of wonder. Fincher says it best; “Benjamin is like a cue ball and all the people he collides with leave marks on him.” One of them is Elizabeth Abbott (Tilda Swinton) whom he meets at the far –flung Russian port town of Murmansk. Even though at first she comes across as the lonely wife of a diplomat her energy is an enticing presence in Benjamin’s life. Thus the exchange of life experiences between them seems not only fair but necessary in order for him to grow. After all Elizabeth Abbott is one of Benjamin’s real first loves.

And as much as the film is about life, love becomes the subplot here as well. In the film, Cate Blanchett’s character Daisy is Benjamin’s true love which he knows right away when they first meet as children. Unfortunately, their relationship doesn’t bloom until much later in life – or just when time is perfect – since they both go separate ways and live life differently. In the one hand Benjamin grows into adulthood with unique sense of understanding loss and the idea of not holding onto things. While Daisy’s life is the complete opposite; full of passion, art and the rich lifestyle of Paris and New York of the time. But Fincher and company do not dwell on this aspect of the story with a melodramatic tone – which is what makes the film such an incredible success. He paints an interesting part of Benjamin’s life portrait without clichés and platitudes that are often found in dramatic films.

Eric Roth’s script is simply flawless giving a strong sense of each and every character within; which ultimately every actor brings to a new height. Brad Pitt is a great actor - in this lifetime perhaps one of the greatest - whose performance in the film is undoubtedly the best I ever seen so far in his career. Blanchett is an amazing actress and truly a chameleon that can take on any character and make it her own with credible finesse. It is also worth mentioning that the rest of the cast is remarkable too, after all without all the other characters around the story and Benjamin the film will not be as impressive. Julia Ormond, Jason Flemyng, Elias Koteas, Tilda Swinton and Mahershalhashbaz Ali truly shine with their character portrayals. ‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ also has another character that the audience will certainly pay attention to and that is the city of New Orleans. After all Benjamin is born there at the end of the World War I in 1918 and his upbringing and life take place in this magical city that - even still in these days – has the most interesting people and places just around every corner. The film is a very fitting love letter to the Big Easy.

‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ is a poetic masterpiece and the must-see film of the year. And even though the story is very much about life and death – and the tale of a not so ordinary man - the message is simple. One has to live through life to know what surprises will come up in its path. The ups and downs, life and death, love and heartaches of it all. And it’s only when one is much older, and perhaps wiser, that one understands what life is all about. An appropriate message for this holiday season.

‘The Curious Case of Benjamin Button’ opens Christmas Day.
