Hello All!
Its me Jacqui. I am sorry I have been away. I started a new job a few months back and I have been trying to get used my new schedule and fitting my movie habit into my new "life". Well, we'll just say the past couple weeks I have gotten some more movie time in.. This is review 1 of 3!
First up on the Jacqui magical movie tour is "Carnage". This is Roman Polanski's newest film starring Christophe Waltz, Kate Winslet, Jodie Foster and John C. Reily. The movie is based on the french play, "Le Dieu du carnage" aka "God of Carnage".
The movie begins with group of kids fighting on a playground in Brooklyn. All of the sudden, one grabs a stick and strike another. The next scene (and the rest of the movie) is a meeting at the home of Penelope and Michael Longstreet (Foster and Reily) with the Cowans (Waltz and Winslet). What started as a reasonable conversation about getting one boy to apologize to the other turns into an exploration of life, values and the relationship of the two couples.
This rarely happens with me and movies so get ready... 5 Stars. Yes, I give this movie my highest rating. There is no fancy special effects. Just four actors doing their craft and a great script. Fans of one liners and zingers, will love this movie. But again, don't go in expecting anything extraordinary besides the acting. I would highly recommend this movie be seen in theatres.
