I still feel that Adam Sandler’s best perfomance was as Barry Egan in Punch-Drunk Love with his perfomance as George in Funny People coming in second. He realizes George as a human character in a real world while still throwing in his trademark approach to humor, singing, voices and irony. The human depths he brings to the table and explores gives his performance a built in edge as it then makes it more immersive for the audience to laugh and feel sad alongside him.

The dynamic between Seth Rogen and Aubrey Plaza in Funny People is great and one of the highlights of the film. I’m not entirely sure how I feel about the 3rd act but I do wish the film had more scenes and shown interplay between Ira and Daisy. Overall this is one of the warmest and most entertaining films I’ve seen this year and in many respects Judd Apatow finest hours in celluloid. Definitely a film to run out and see immediately.

For Katie Holmes fans here is an image of her as Mary in, The Extra Man. You can read my previous report on this must see film of 2010 (here).

Synopsis:

A sophisticated and moving comedy, THE EXTRA MAN follows Louis Ives (Paul Dano), a lonely dreamer who fancies himself the hero of an F. Scott Fitzgerald novel…

When a deeply embarrassing incident forces him to leave his job at an exclusive Princeton prep school, Louis heads to New York City to make a fresh start. He quickly finds a nine-to-five job at an environmental magazine, where he encounters an entrancing, green-obsessed co-worker Mary (Katie Holmes). But it’s Louis’ new home life that really sparks his imagination. He rents a room in the ramshackle apartment of Henry Harrison (Kevin Kline), a penniless, wildly eccentric but brilliant playwright.

When Henry’s not dancing alone to obscure music or singing operettas, he’s performing – with great panache – the duties of an “extra man“, a social escort for the wealthy widows of Manhattan high society.

These two men, separated in age by more than forty years, develop a volatile mentor/apprentice relationship. Through a series of urban adventures where they encounter everything from a leaping lion to a wildly jealous hirsute neighbor, from drunken nonagenarians to a shady Swiss hunchback, Louis and Henry form a memorable bond that bridges their differences.

With this latest batch of 22 images this brings the total of images from Cannes Grand Prix winner A Prophet to 27. This has been to this date my favorite film of 2009. A Prophet is riveting from beginning to end, unlike any prison film you’ve ever seen before and with break out performances that keep you deeply immersed in what is happening on screen.

Synopsis:
Condemned to six years in prison, Malik El Djebena cannot read nor write. Arriving at the jail entirely alone, he appears younger and more fragile than the other convicts. He is 19 years old. Cornered by the leader of the Corsican gang who rules the prison, he is given a number of “missions” to carry out, toughening him up and gaining the gang leader’s confidence in the process.

But Malik is brave and a fast learner, daring to secretly develop his own plans.
