The Lookout
The first film I watched of the year is The Lookout. Given the talent involved in this film this can only be described as a major disappointment.
This film is saved by two wonderful performances by Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Jeff Daniels. The film is more character study than crime drama and they do a wonderful job with the material they are given. This is good since it takes the film over 30 minuted to introduce the bad guys.
I was beginning to wonder if the film would get going and then I wish it hadn't. The plot is very derived from other films, this includes the high school car ride prologue. Characters appear and disappear at random. They are almost all one-dimensional. Isla Fisher's acting is god-awful.
This is quite surprising since it was directed and written by Scott Frank who translated Out of Sight to the screen.
Hot Chicks Born Today
Gabrielle Carteris, 47, I'm embarrassed to admit I've seen every 90210 episode and at the time she was top 10 material
Paz Vega, very hot in Sex and Lucia, Talk to Her, & Spanglish
