'Hail, Ceasar!': Hail, yeah!

Never judge a movie by its trailer. I haven't quite learned that one and was completely surprised at how smitten I was with this ode to big studios, big production numbers, and the early rise of commies in show business.

The casting director deserves an Oscar. So many faces all over the place. All having the 40's to 50's look down pat. Christopher Lambert was the biggest surprise to me.

Brolin played the studio head perfectly who was constantly beset with problems from of his stars. Clooney's kidnapping was the central piece of he plot but not the tight focus of the film. There were rich and entertaining performances from beginning to end. Swinton was brilliant in her manners and expressions as twin gossip columnists. And, Channing Tatum performed in a truly great dance scene with plain to ugly guys playing sailors in a bar. (Where did they find dance professionals like this?)

I guess I sound enthusiastic but the Brothers have made a really good one this time. Hail, Ceasar will re-punch your Coen Brothers ticket.
