Rating: 4 out of 5 stars
Comparisons between Paul Thomas Anderson’s Best Picture-nominated epic masterpiece There Will Be Blood and his latest film are inevitable if perhaps a little unfair; after all, the former is a sprawling, brutal meditation on the clash between capitalism at its most boundlessly ambitious and faith, while The Master is a smaller, more intimate existential drama about post-WW2 malaise. If not soaring to the same heights as his previous effort, this hugely ambitious film – marvellously performed by a top-notch cast – at least feels like the director at his most unrestrained.
Freddie Quell (Joaquin Phoenix) is the guiding force through this opaque odyssey, a WW2 veteran suffering from both alcoholism and post-traumatic stress disorder as he tries to adjust to life following the war. After drifting around several settlements, Quell ends up drunkenly sneaking his way onto a boat, which happens to belong to Lancaster Dodd (Philip Seymour Hoffman...

We had our last real update about Martin Scorsese‘s documentary on Beatles guitarist George Harrison - titled George Harrison: Living in the Material World - a year ago, and that’s been way too long. For me, the idea of one of my favorite directors of all time helming a documentary about my favorite member of one of my favorite bands of all time is one that’s almost too good to be true. I wouldn’t hesitate to call this one of my three most anticipated movies of 2011, in fact. The frequent word was that it would see a release in 2011, but we’re almost halfway through the year without so much as a trailer. And while this next piece of news isn’t a much bigger revelation than anything from before, it at least a) comes from someone extremely close to the production, and b) alludes to a big announcement.

Ghosts of Girlfriends Past
Directed by: Mark Waters
Cast: Matthew McConaughey, Jennifer Garner, Michael Douglas
Running Time: 1 hr 40 mins
Rating: PG-13
Release Date: May 1, 2009
Plot: A successful photographer (McConaughey) who scrooges women for a hobby is visited by three … Ghosts of Girlfriends Past.
Who’s It For? The dating crowd - particularly those who share the on-screen ages of Garner and McConaughey. Of course, this really just means anyone not seeing X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
Expectations: The Matthew McConaughey + romantic comedy formula was recently cracked by a popular humor blog that offered some frighteningly plausible ideas. Considering McConaughey’s track record, it was expected for him to play some slimy and smiley womanizer who gets “put in his place” by a female (Garner) aware of his smooth-talking … but not idiotic enough to fully lose against it.
Scorecard (0-10)
Actors:
Matthew McConaughey as Connor Mead: To this character, being a man requires using women.
Directed by: Mark Waters
