Broken Flowers

Last night I finally got around to seeing “Broken Flowers”, a Jim Jarmusch film staring Bill Murray. I loved the characters, the interactions, the subtle humor, the neurotic fascination with day to day life. Dispite this, when the movie ended, I found myself annoyed. The movie had no ending; it just seemed to stop. Now I love movies that leave open endings; Bill Murray’s previous role in “Lost in translation” still stands as one of my favorite films. But I was disappointed with “Broken Flowers”; I wanted to see something come from everything he did and discovered about his own life, about his own needs, and move on to greater things. I wanted to at least know they he found his son, even if it was a silent figure in the door way fading out to the credits. Am I wrong to not be happy with this? I understand the purpose of the film was to focus more on his realization that his success was fleeting. That a man who had a life style that most would consider successful still felt empty inside; craving somebody to feel a connection with. I can’t seem to get past him finding nothing for his efforts other than more to search for and the question of whether he would even go on.

Oh Rossanne....Please don't

I’m all for people with talent trying new things, but there are some places certain celebrities should not go. One of those things is having Rosanne Bar star on the kids singing show. Come on Rosanne, Bob Sagget would kill for your reputation. Please don’t ever, EVER do this again. Stick to being the dirty comedian you’re so good at being. And yes this show is real.
