Movie Review: BLANCHETT'S GIFT
Summary: 5 Stars
Cate Blanchett is brilliant in the leading role of Annie Wilson in this wonderful movie. Blanchett is approaching Streep-status in her ability to completely embrace her role and pivot a movie into its highest potential. She is aided by a wonderful script by Billy Bob Thornton and Tom Epperson; the beautiful and evocative music by Christopher Young; Jamie Anderson's gorgeous camerawork and a stupendous supporting cast: Hilary Swank, Greg Kinnear (a much better actor than one would have thought); Keanu Reeves (his most effective performance yet); Giovanni Ribisi (remarkable in his role as a troubled car mechanic); Gary Cole, Kim Dickens, Katie Holmes, and even Rosemary Harris' small role as Annie's grandma. Sam Raimi's pacing is excellent, and there are some extremely powerful scenes.But the movie is Miss Cate's and she is awesome to watch.
A real winner!
Movie Review: Visions And Portents...
Summary: 5 Stars
Small town psychic reader, Annie Wilson (Cate Blanchett from the Lord Of The Rings trilogy) finds herself caught up in the storm caused by the disappearance of a young woman (Katie Holmes), her impossibly nice fiancé (Greg Kinnear), a wife-beater and his victim (Keanu Reaves and Hilary Swank), and a mentally ill tow-truck driver (Giovanni Ribisi). Annie is the central figure, using her gift to help the police locate the missing girl. Unfortunately, nothing is as it seems, and everyone's a suspect! THE GIFT is another solid thriller from director Sam Raimi (Evil Dead, Darkman, A Simple Plan). He's got quite an ensemble to work with here. I love the entire cast, but Ribisi's character is my favorite. He is somehow endearing and frightening at the same time. If you are a mystery / thriller / horror fanatic, then this one will satisfy. Highly recommended...
