Jude Law

Enemy at the Gates
$9.98
I hope they remake this someday and cut the love story out and tighten the script a notch. Still as it is, has great replay potential!

Music From Another Room
$9.98
This was a sweet picture, a nice picture... but with the talented cast here it should have been a great movie. There was just too slender a premise to base the story on and I had a strong desire to shake some of these people and say, "Get a grip."

My Blueberry Nights (The Miriam Collection)
$14.95
"My Blueberry Nights", could also have been called my "Bluesy Nights". It's as if we're in a blues club listening to Norah Jones wistfully singing, watching her sensuous words caressing the air around her lips. Elizabeth, played by Norah Jones, is broken hearted. And in order to quell her torment at having been recently dumped by her boyfriend she decides to leave town, and ventures off to Memphis, and then Las Vegas. Most of the movie is shot in slow motion, in a dreamy manner. This seems to fit with Elizabeth's introspective, semi-depressed state. It's an interesting technique that gives the viewer the opportunity to reflect along with a convalescing Elizabeth. There is something about this movie that reminds me of Edward Hopper and his famous painting of a night cafe. The streets are quiet, most everyone has gone home, but there are a few lonely souls still up walking the dimly lit night streets. Surprisingly this doesn't put us to sleep as the actors are mostly interesting. It's as if we're getting this intimate view into other people's deepest feelings as we're listening to their stories. Jude Law (Jeremy) is a cafe owner who listens to Elizabeth's story. Other phantoms of the night are Sue Lynne (Rachel Weisz) and her alcoholic husband Arnie (David Strathairn), and Leslie (Natalie Portman) who entertains herself gambling. The plaintive soundtrack by Ry Cooder nicely compliments the movie's tone. If you're in the mood to sit down and order a drink in a quiet little bar late at night, and listen patiently to the comings and goings of the clientele, then you'll probably enjoy this movie.

Breaking and Entering
$19.95
I really enjoyed this movie. As is the case with most movies these days, some of the content was somewhat improbable in the "real world". However, to sum it up, I would describe the movie as "entertainment that makes you think"!
