something that we all can hear. And the Beaux Arts Trio from the fine arts community,
did a beautiful job of helping us to experience this.
Naked States leaves the viewer wondering
why we are so concerned with nudity in our
culture and how one would react if Tunick
came to your town asking for models.
Spencer Tunick’s creative drive and effect on
the lives of his participants makes this a must-
see film for those who question our cultural
values.
Intolerable Cruelty (2003)
by Kasey Eldridge, editor/staff writer
The enchanting film, Intolerable Cruelty, directed by
Joel Coen, is destined to be a classic. This film puts a
modern twist on a classic tale of love and deception.
Miles Massey (George Clooney) is a Beverly Hills
divorce attorney who finds something both intriguing and
challenging about the beautiful Marilyn Rexroth
(Catherine Zeta-Jones). She is the wife of one of his
clients, a wealthy real estate developer, who is caught
cheating on tape. Massey works his courtroom magic,
despite the evidence at hand, and wins his case leaving
the baffling Marilyn broke.
The elegance of this film leaves the viewer
mesmerized with Clooney's and Jones' performances.
They have wonderful chemistry on the screen which
helps make this film both intelligent and entertaining.
Mystic River (2003)
by Kasey Eldridge, editor/staff writer
Director Clint Eastwood’s Mystic River
explores the interwoven history of three
childhood friends. Eastwood’s true artistic
talent is honestly revealed in this dark,
masterfully concocted film. The film is based
on the novel by Dennis Lahane.
Jimmy (Sean Penn), Dave (Tim Robbins),
and Sean (Kevin Bacon), try to overcome their
stained childhood and deal with their own
personal demons that continue to haunt them.
Years later, Jimmy’s daughter is murdered and
the three friends are reunited after years of
separation, each for a different purpose. Sean
Penn’s Oscar-worthy performance leaves
chills in your heart for days to come. The
cinematography is created by Tom Stern, who
is truly a master of his craft as Director of
Photography. Eastwood pulls this film
together with unresolved issues, alarming
force, disturbing tragedy and humility.
Mystic River, a distressingly, unforgettable
film, is one not to be missed this year.
