Closer

Saw Closer last night. I didn't like it, AC did. Natalie Portman is good,

but I just couldn't relate to the pathetic characters... or I should

say caricatures. I felt it was too disjointed to really give you a

chance to learn or care about the characters. AC disagreed, but

maybe she was "reading between the lines" better than I did. It

reminded me somewhat of My Friends and Neighbors, except when it comes

to the sex stuff, it's all talk. Here's my breakdown: if you like

hearing Hollywood stars talk dirty (and I do mean dirty), or if you

enjoy watching people being shallow, petty, jealous, and mean to each

other for 2 hours, go see it. Otherwise, wait for the DVD.
