Laurel Canyon (2002)
Date of first viewing: Friday, July 25, 2003
Format: DVD
Frances McDormand is hot. I liked the feel of this movie and watching Frances McDormand running around in teen-age boy T-shirts. It's by Lisa Cholodenko, the same woman who did High Art, which I loved. I wasn't as crazy about this movie. I guess the plot wasn't as compelling, and the writing was a bit heavy-handed, or as Michael would say, clunky, in places. But overall, I thought it successfully captured the atmosphere of the place and the sexual tension/frustrations among its characters.

I'm in love with Johnny Depp all over again. His pirate, Captain Jack Sparrow, is hilarious. This movie is funny in all the right places and exciting and scary and visually amazing. Keira Knightley is gorgeous. The skeleton pirate crew is spooky. So much fun, I didn't want this movie to end!
