Coming 2 America (2021)
I liked it a lot!
Not sure why the other reviews were so negative. I thought it was clever, especially how they incorporated the many characters played by Eddie and Arsenio.
Capote (2005)
The best film of 2005, hands down!
Philip Seymour Hoffman IS Truman Capote. Just like Jamie Foxx became Ray Charles last year. Hoffman perfects his mannerisms, voice, and self-involvement to a tee! And the film itself is astonishingly good! It's interesting to watch the Capote character grow from this self-absorbed author just using his "subjects" to write the best book of his life, to a person who actually cares about his "subject" - in particular, Perry Smith. It is, by far, the best film of 2005. Dan Futterman's screenplay, Bennett Miller's direction, Hoffman's acting, even the cinematographer - ALL deserve Oscars. Because, films rarely get any better than this!
Along Came Polly (2004)
VERY FUNNY but you may notice...
...part of the plot that was almost identical to an episode of "Friends" where Ross lists a pro/con comparison of Rachel and current girlfriend Julie? It's funny that Jennifer Aniston was in that scene/episode of "Friends" and in this scene of Along Came Polly. Perhaps she picked the script for that familiarity, I don't know. It was a funny movie through and through. A blind ferret, Ben Stiller salsa dancing, Phil Seymour Hoffman's "Lyle" character playing the role of Judas and Jesus in his community production of Jesus Christ Superstar, Ben and Phil playing basketball (Phil always missing the shot), etc. A lot of funny moments.
