REEL RECOMMENDATION: Closer

Original Air Date: 12.17.04
Opening Song: "Following" - Chungking

Closer (2004)

"****!"

The critics are right (for a change)-- Closer is one movie that I could see over and over again... "why can't all movies be like this?" This movie explores the concept of love at first sight (which I once thought was a crock) and how four strangers interact with each other, fall in love instantly, swap partners, and ruthlessly betray each other. So much dishonesty and deception; it really makes an interesting soap opera-type movie. It definitely has the feel of a foreign film, especially since London serves as the backdrop. All of the actors give awesome performances, especially the four main characters. And I, JiMBO, will credit this movie with re-awakening my more romantic side (RRRrrrrrr). So... If you see one movie this month, go see Closer.

Oh yeah, and don't bring the kids, 'cause this is NOT a family film (no sex scenes, but it has bloody hilarious British slang).
