Thanks, Meryl.
Here's another review: caché couché cliché.

I think I'm going to love the 'new' Francis Ford Coppolla! I haven't seen his first film, YOUTH WITHOUT YOUTH but I just watched TETRO and really enjoyed it.
"Awkward, but full of life. Awkward, but impassioned - like something written by a young person. Let's look at "Tetro" as the new Coppola's second film and greet this as the first major work of a promising young filmmaker." - Mick Lasalle

New discovery Alden Ehrenreich is a young actor to watch.
Maybe it's time for Martin Scorsese to "reboot his creativity" as well.
Meryl:
Just got back from watching "Inception" in IMAX. Yoiks. Brilliant movie, but I was confused most of the time and kept wishing it would be over already. The tension got to be a bit much. Seems like a heckuva lot of trouble to go to to save your corporation, but I guess it had to hinge on something. :P I liked the cast and thought it was funny that they kept playing "No, je ne regrette rien" to wake themselves up, what with Edith Piaf (Marion Cotillard) playing the wife. ;D
Front-Ranger:
Took my mother to see E P L. It was watchable, though it seemed kind of long even when broken up into the three segments. Don't go on an empty stomach! You'll get really hungry watching people eat. Julia Roberts had left behind many of her irritating mannerisms, even the horse laugh. I enjoyed the Brokeism when the Brazilian love interest explained why he called a telephone caller "darling": it was his son. He explained that he called all his children and pets darling and, yes, in time, he came to call Roberts (Liz) darling too!!
There was better food photography, scenes of people gushing over food, and shots of Italian men in I am Love. Plus Tilda Swinton too, an actor who makes Julia Roberts seem like a talk show host.
Front-Ranger:
Another thing that was a thrill when I watched Eat Pray Love was hearing two (2!) Neil Young songs!! One was Heart of Gold. I don't recall which of the hundreds of worthy Young songs was the other. They didn't seem dated at all.
My family went to see the new Robert Duvall vehicle Get Low Tuesday night. It also featured Sissy Spacek and a new young actor who played Bobby, a funeral home worker. The funeral home owner was Bill Murray, who was excellent, but more subdued than usual. I kept getting the name of the movie wrong, calling it Down Low, much to the amusement of my spouse.
