I Love You Phillip Morris (2009)

I am choosing the movie "I Love You Phillip Morris" for essay #4. I am choosing this move for several different reasons. One being the movie being fantastic, second because it is one of those movies that leaves your jaw dropped. The cast alone is my third reasoning for choosing this film. Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor are one of the best duo's I have ever seen. Although this movie may or may not catch your attention due to the different lifestyles projected in this film, it certainly caught mine. You will laugh and cry and be in shock through out the entire film.

J. Edgar Leonardo DiCaprio,Directed by Clint Eastwood

I have yet to see the film J. Edgar staring Leonardo DiCaprio and I am not too sure I would want to. According to the Rolling Stone review posted on November 10, 2011 states, "The result is a movie exhilarated by biting off more than it can chew, a great boon especially when the pacing goes from rushed to dramatically inert." I have a hard time following films that are rushed. 
I would on the other hand give the film a chance only because of the extreme talent that is listed in the credits. Clint Eastwood is by far one of the best Directors of all time. Leonardo DiCaprio is also by far one of the most talented actors of all time. I couldn't accept anything other then perfection from the two best film creators and actors. I would like to think that the 1.5 stars from the community was off by 2.5 points.
