All is Fair in Love and Fate | Review of The Adjustment Bureau
The Adjustment Bureau has the capability to be a polarizing film. On one hand, it is hard sci fi based on one of the masters Philip K. Dick’s story “Adjustment Team”. On the other hand, it is a love story in the truest sense. Two people meet, fall in love, obstacles keep them from each other, but they fight to be together. So, your ability to be taken by this film really hinges on the melding of those two genres. If you are looking for a dark and gritty realistic film about the nature of predestination, this isn’t it.

Top 10 Matt Damon Performances
With Green Zone opening this weekend, I found it appropriate to profile the film’s star… Matt Damon. Matt Damon is an amazing actor who gets better with every role. I really do think he is one of the best actors (if not THE best) of his generation. He has played a wide variety of different characters, all the while bringing charisma and charm. He has been many things: an existential action star, a brilliant mind trapped in a thug’s body, a double crossing rat, a fat dopey whistle blower, a solider deciding who he fights next to are his brothers. He is all these things and so much more. Damon has taken us down an exciting road, and he isn’t stopping anytime soon. The following performances are my personal top 10. If I miss some of your favorites, please feel free to post them in the comments section. Read the rest of this entry »
