CUSTOMER REVIEW:
Beautifully Brutal Movie
Somehow in my late night meanderings through cable television I found this movie, and having loved Brody's performance in "The Pianist" decided to see what it was about. In the years since, every time it has aired I have watched it with the same fascination as at my first viewing.

As my title states this movie is brutally beautiful. So brutal at times, and so heartbreaking in other times. I have not seen a movie that has so transfixed me with the complexity of the characters. Under other direction the characters could have been shown as black/white, good/bad: the director brings to it beautiful shades of gray.

It could have been easy to hate Jack for what he did to Claire. I would compare their characters as Claire is a fragile flower,delicate, beautiful. I see Jack's fragility in beneath his tough exterior, as he went farther down with Claire, and his outside shell was broken he had the fragillity of a crystal vase.

He has destroyed himself with what he has done to her. In this realization I believe Jack at the end somewhat redeems himself in his writing and explanation. While scrubbing The blood from the floor I feel that every drop that was sunk in the floor was a tear in Jack's soul. Being one who prefers to keep her "rosy glasses" on, I would wish that in some way they would find that brutal, beautiful, fragility within their characters and find a way to be together.
I don't know why I hadn't ordered the film sooner and deprived myself of the beautiful acting in this film, but no more.

Restaurant
By:
List Price: $14.99

Amazon.com
Chris (Adrien Brody), an aspiring playwright, pays the bills as a bartender at an upscale New York restaurant and pours his frustrations into his work. Jeanine (Elise Neal), an aspiring singer from a musical family, is the newest waitress on the staff. He's Italian American and she's African American, but the chemistry is there. All that stands between them is Chris's unresolved feelings for his ex (pop star Lauryn Hill in a cameo), the reverberations of his blue-collar father's dinner-table racism, and the unspoken and usually ignored but unavoidable issue of race. Eric Bross (Ten Benny, also with Brody) has a light touch with his ensemble cast--which also features Malcolm-Jamal Warner as a well-spoken law student and Jesse L. Martin of TV's Law and Order as a philosophical line cook--and the thoughtful script. The issues simmer below the surface of the individual dramas, romantic complications, and personal struggles with self-esteem and responsibility that buzz through the restaurant, finally boiling over in a raw but dramatically restrained finale. Much of the drama floats between clear-eyed honesty and hip glibness, but Bross and his cast anchor the drama in vivid, complicated characters who bring the film to life. Restaurant, which sat on the shelf before receiving a short theatrical run, is no Do The Right Thing, but in its own respectful way manages to cast a fresh look at race relations. --Sean Axmaker

The Undertaker's Wedding

List Price: $9.95

CUSTOMER REVIEW:
To love, honour & murder (?)
The men in Mario's (Adrien Brody) family all die young, so Mario is desperate to find love. So desperate in fact, that he scares off his latest girlfriend Louise (Holly Gagnier). And being a undertaker also doesn't help him on his quest!

But business is booming, thanks to a ongoing mob war between two families. This war isn't helped any when hitman Rocco kills three opposing family members, unknowingly witnessed by Louise. To protect Rocco, his brother Alberto (Burt Young) fakes Rocco's death, then starts arranging for him to be moved out of the country. Until then however, Rocco needs somewhere to hide out. And where better then Mario's funeral home?

So 'cousin Albert' comes to stay with Mario. Of course, there are soon problems: Mario fancies Rocco's 'Widow' Maria (Kari Wuhrer), Louise fancies the false beard wearing Rocco, a bord Rocco makes a play for Louise, while Mario tries to woo her back.

Just when you think it can't get any worse, hot-headed Maria lets her temper get the better of her in a big way. So Mario rushes to help her, otherwise she'll need his professional services!

CUSTOMER REVIEW:
The Maura Tierney Show
If you love Maura Tierney like I do, you gotta see this movie. She is extraordinary. I've never been a big fan of Adrien Brody, but he is EXCELLENT in "Oxygen." It is a tight thriller with some really great twists. If you are claustrophobic in the least, make sure you watch this in the space of a large living room. Highly recommended.

The Pianist
By:
List Price: $14.98
Amazon Price: $5.94

Amazon.com
Winner of the prestigious Golden Palm award at the 2002 Cannes film festival, The Pianist is the film that Roman Polanski was born to direct. A childhood survivor of Nazi-occupied Poland, Polanski was uniquely suited to tell the story of Wladyslaw Szpilman, a Polish Jew and concert pianist (played by Adrien Brody) who witnessed the Nazi invasion of Warsaw, miraculously eluded the Nazi death camps, and survived throughout World War II by hiding among the ruins of the Warsaw ghetto. Unlike any previous dramatization of the Nazi holocaust, The Pianist steadfastly maintains its protagonist's singular point of view, allowing Polanski to create an intimate odyssey on an epic wartime scale, drawing a direct parallel between Szpilman's tenacious, primitive existence and the wholesale destruction of the city he refuses to abandon. Uncompromising in its physical and emotional authenticity, The Pianist strikes an ultimate note of hope and soulful purity. As with Schindler's List, it's one of the greatest films ever made about humanity's darkest chapter. --Jeff Shannon

The fall season's actually supposed to wait for Labor Day, but who's not ready to stow away the capes and get to it already? Good news: Venice opens on Wednesday, Telluride on Friday. And New York's looking beyond. Many of its "Fall Preview" entries are brief - but welcome.

I can only imagine what the cameraman was thinking when Adrien Brody pointed him out to girlfriend Elsa Pataky. ?Can they see me? No way can they see me. I?m hidden so well in this tree. It looks like they can see me though. Is he pointing right at me? Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, oh shit!?
