Our Friday Night at the Movies group recently saw "Keane". The movie has, at it's core, a rather disturbing and somewhat convoluted story to depict, yet it still manages to come across as a honest, empathetic and very believable film. Several scenes are extremely intense, and they take some time to set up - it's not an action or computer generated graphics type of movie - but the process is integral to really getting to know the mindset of the lead character, so it's worth every minute. Thumbs up from the entire Friday Night at the Movies participants (a consensus is rare with this group).
If you haven't seen "There Will Be Blood", you will want to make time to do so. It won't take long to realize why it was nominated for several Academy Awards. The character portrayal of a ruthless entrepreneur is unparallelled. The film provides a whole new meaning to the term "dysfunctional family". The shrinks should have a field day with this movie. Allow for enough viewing time. It's over two and a half hours long.
