Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

I'm psyched after reading this review of A Serious Man. Can't wait to check out the latest Coen bros.

Quote:
This is clearly the Coens taking a more personal approach to comedy, keeping even the most dramatic moments being punctuated with laughs. Most of them don't come necessarily from written jokes as much as from recurring visual gags used over and over again to build repetition so when things are changed up, you don't see them coming. It also relies heavily on the silent mannerisms of the characters, which makes this the perfect film to showcase the character actors the Coens have always espoused so loyally in their films. This one probably works better for the casting of lesser-known actors with the only familiar faces being Richard Kind as Larry's troubled brother, Michael Lerner and a couple others. In this sort of environment, theater actor Michael Stuhlbarg thrives as Larry, an everyman who you immediately like without having the baggage that would have come with a better-known actor we've seen in dozens of prior films. There are lots of pleasant surprises among the rest of the cast including Sari Lennick as Larry's wife and Fred Melamed as Sy Abelman, the new man in Larry's wife's life who constantly wants to "hug it out" with his competition. At one point, one wonders whether we'll actually see Uncle Arthur or just hear Kind's distinctive voice from the bathroom where he's constantly "draining his cyst" but his physical appearance is very different, as he's constantly slumped over in despair. As much misfortune that seems to be coming Larry's way, his brother Arthur hasn't had nearly as much luck and his problems seem to be getting worse just as Larry's life falls apart.
