I think this is #119? I need to keep better track I think, if I am ever going to finish this thing. Okay, so I have had this in my queue for quite some time, but decided I was in the Bill Murray mood and figured it was time. I have never been a huge Jim Jarmusch fan, in fact I don't even know if I have ever made it through an entire film of his. I might have finished Ghost Dog, and thought it was decent. My expectations were low with this one. I was pleasantly surprised. I can't say I would recommend this to everyone, but I can say that I was happy I watched it. I have grown pretty fond of Bill Murray, I think he is under-appreciated, and I think he is bordering on a comic genius. This is not a comedy by any means, though it had some amusing moments. Its the story of a guy who clearly can't get it right with his girlfriend and he is sent on a quest to find the mother of what might be his son. Its painfully quiet at times, but I thought it was a very honest performance and I really enjoyed this movie. I thought the women in the supporting roles, the women from his past all did fantastic jobs, so many great actresses: Francis Conroy, Sharon Stone, Jessica Lange...all fantastic performances as well. I think this is worth watching.
