Good editing, interesting musical choices, and a likeable cast are enough to make this a worth while view, just not one you'll be raving about weeks later. Pollock Ed Harris is marvelous as the artist that brought new definitions to abstract painting. Academy award winner Marcia Gay Harden plays his muse, wife and manager with east coast zeal. Even though the performances are worth the view the script left me wanting more character development from Pollock and a deeper look into the mind of the artist. His buddies Jack Black and Steve Zahn plot to break them up by fixing Silverman up with his ex-girlfriend.
Silly humor prevails.
Directed by Dennis Dugan. Shadow of the Vampire Independently made Shadow was all the buzz before its initial screening but fell to very mediocre praise once it hit the theatres. Directed by E. Elias Merhige. It is a film of coy bemusement set to a great, albeit predictable, soundtrack. Just like most films of this genre, it will appeal mostly to women but, as one myself, I have to say it's nice to have an entertaining courtship story in the theatres once again.
