Movie Reviews of Coffee and Cigarettes
Movie Review: Some scenes are brilliant
Summary: 4 Stars
Coffee and Cigarettes is an episodic film comprised of eleven episodes where different characters chat over the ubiquitous coffee and cigarettes that provide the title and some dark, brooding, cool cinematography. Some scenes are superb- Steve Coogan meeting Albert Molino for instance. Some scenes, featuring big names- Bill Murray, Wu Tan Clan for example fail to be as good as the delicious potential provided.
Overall, some gems mixed in with some less successful dialogue. Worth seeing, and it is the type of film where DVD scene selector really comes into its own.
Movie Review: Great Work of Art
Summary: 4 Stars
The film, a collection of shorts is at times, funny, though, sad and poignant. The best scenes offer more punch in their allottment of five to ten minutes, than most movies offer in two hours. The highlights include Alfred Molina and Stephen Coogan, Iggy Pop and Tom Waits and a devestating turn by Cate Blanchett playing herself and her jealous ne'er-do-well cousin.
A bit self-indulgent at times with a couple of stalling shorts (Robert Benigni and Steve Wright are particularly obnoxious as are White Stripes singers Meg and Jack White), the film is an interesting view.
Movie Review: Weird, But Worth It
Summary: 4 Stars
Each vignette is basically the same: two people seemingly miscommunicating and casting oddly ominous glances at one or the other. I did enjoy the soundtrack, though, which fits the mood. There is no point to this film, but that's part of its charm. It all seems to add up to more than it appears, but it doesn't really. I can't discern a real message. But don't let that stop you from watching it. It's better than a big-budget Hollywood shoot-em-up.Movie Review: Wanting Another Cup of Coffee
Summary: 4 Stars
Loved the flow of all segments! I felt I was sitting nearby, eavesdropping all conversations...sort of. Cate Blanchett's and The RZA, GZA & Bill Murray's segments were hilarious, as well as Meg & Jack's White Tesla Coil!! Fun to watch and if you love coffee and/or cigarettes, you'll enjoy this movie!Movie Review: I, for one, loved it.
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie was great-- fantastic, even. I thought the ending scene was worth 5 stars alone. True, some parts of the film were rather slow, but it was a real crack-up, nonetheless, in that lovable tongue-in-cheek Jim Jarmusch style. Brill. It will live among the classics of American cinema.
