The Ballad of Jack and Rose

A dying hippie, who lives with his daughter on an island, invites his girlfriend and her two kids to stay with them. Daniel Day-Lewis is always good. Catherine Keener -- though appearing in such disparate films as this, "Capote," and "The 40 Year Old Virgin" -- seems to have a limited range. I don't see a big future for Paul Dano. I don't like hippies. Maybe it should have been a play.

funny you say it should have been a play - it was written and directed by arthur miller's daughter, rebecca miller, who is married to DDL. *phew* that was more mental connections than i've made in a month.

i wouldn't call the 40 year old vrigin "disparate" and when talking about catherine keener's career you really should mention being john malkovich. she was also in box of moonlight--which is kickass. supposedly she's good in into the wild but i won't see it because the book irritated me so much.
