Advantages: Fine character acting, simple, effective script Disadvantages: None
/friend/father. He physically dominates the screen for most of the movie in a way that none of his contemporaries could manage.
Clooney is wonderfully supported by two Brits and a director. Tilda Swanton perspires nervously as in-house counsel Karen Crowder. Tom Wilkinson is marvelous as the chemically unbalanced but saner than most mentor to Michael Clayton, Arthur Edens. Sydney Pollack offers a nuanced supporting role that makes you wonder why he doesn't appear more often in front of the camera.
Michael Clayton is a complex character but a simple film. It cements Clooney as the most informed and intelligent actor of this decade without ever putting him through the kind of scenery chewing antics that Hoffman and Pacino had to go through to share the same title in the 70s and early 80s. I left the cinema thinking that there is not another actor ...
Advantages: catchy, spooky, scary, nerve-thrilling Disadvantages: lengthy and too much retrospective dialogue-narrating
, nightmares borderline reality and a mixture of those two worlds. I always enjoyed the suspense King created, but not this time, as it was bit too lengthy and too filled with side-stories. Plus it's incredible he leaves the heroine in such a situation and all she does is not to think about HOW on earth to get free off the cuffs, but about ten million other things, like she wasn't in a life danger. Eventually she manages to free herself and the surreal part of the story starts....Later she realized she wasn't maybe haunted only by her scared and scarred mind, but also by sth, someone pretty material, a monster comparable to Eddie Gein or Clarice Starling's Buffalo Bill. She shares this idea with Gerald's old lawyer friend Brandon and pushes him to take her to this guy's trial. She breaks whatever rule of the courtroom just to find out her and Mr ...
Advantages: Good when you get into it Disadvantages: Not like his other books
When I first started reading this book I didn't really enjoy it as it is not like other books by the famous author.
It all starts off with a man called Gerald Burlingame and his wife 'Jessie' in the bedroom of their summer house. Jessie is handcuffed to the bed in just a pair of knickers. This is one of Gerald's Games (Note the name of the book). Jessie has had enough of these sex games and asks Gerald to undo the handcuffs. He pretends that he hasn't heard her. He tries to force himself upon her, so she raises her legs and kicks him between the legs. The result of this is Gerald falls off the bed saying 'heart'. Jessie thinks at first that he is only pretending to have a heart attack, but when he doesn't get up Jessie fears the worst.
As you read on you are not sure if Jessie will get out of the handcuffs. She prays for someone to ...
