If you like stupid movies about stupid people, watch this one. [Posted on 2008-09-20]
The storylines are stupid and the characters are stupid. What a waste of time.
A long movie about nothing [Posted on 2008-10-13]
This is a very art house liberal coffee house movie about very little. I am sure there are all kinds of clever messages in it about current geopolitics and whatnot, but I simply don't care. There are four separate stories in this movie, not weaved seamlessly as one would expect, but disjointed and tenuous. Only have the smallest type of connection. It actually reminds me very much of the movie Syriana (another horrible disjointed waste of time, though with the separate plots having even less in common. If this is your type of movie you probably already know it. I certainly wouldn't recommend it for a casual viewing though. And I have already asked and there is not way to get the two hours you spend watching this movie back.

A suprisingly good movie [Posted on 2008-10-25]
The biggest surprise for me is that Brad Pitt gave such an excellent performance, I am not one of his fans and find his acting rather flat, but in this one he comes alive and really shines. The story is an excellent self-examination of just how ignorant most of us are about the other.
Another Gem from the guys that made Amores Perros and 21 Grams. [Posted on 2008-11-19]
These guys make astounding films. It is amazing how everything links and is not forced at all. It is too bad that the writer and director had a falling out after this film came out. Hopefully they resolve their differences because they mae such incredible films. It shows that great films can be made in Hollywood.
