the best of Zach Braff

Rating: 10/10 (27 April 2005)

I saw Zach in 'Scrubs' and he did not impress me at all..just another actor..but Garden State is a different thing. I still can not believe that he is so young and moreover that he wrote something not at all cheesy, that he was able to avoid almost all the cliché..that's impressing for someone who is not Clint Eastwood. and I believe this is his first attempt.. as an actor..Zach can actually play! and not the Hollywood way. he IS the actor that accidentally killed his mother and that has spent his life on drugs. he is real to the audience.. Natalie impressed me in Leon..shocked me in Closer..and now Garden State..two movies in such a short period of time..in Closer you want her badly..in Garden you want to love her in a pure way, well more or less..she really has transformed this part, just as she did with her career, into something you try to relate to..and more than once you can relate not only to her but to the entire movie. another plus: music..cold-play as soundtrack..that should impress anyone..every song marks an essential moment..I think it's one of the best soundtracks I've heard lately..
