A Single Man
On the posters and advertisements, it might seem like a dramatic romance between Colin Firth and Julianne Moore, but A Single Man is actually the story of a college professor struggling through life after the death of his partner (Matthew Goode). In his review, Eugene Novikov pointed out the high and low points of the film: "despite the shaky start, Ford finds an elegant, striking way of bringing this material to the screen. Much of A Single Man is an elegiac tone poem, rendered haunting by Ford's beautifully composed images, and propelled by a gorgeous, somewhat Philip Glass-like musical score by little-known Polish composer Abel Korzeniowski." Rent it on DVD or Blu-ray.

Of course, we can forgive the script for being a little bit childish at times. Besides, if it wasn't for the cast's terrific performance, I'm not sure I'd have enjoyed watching it.
While he was smoking a rare drug named "pineapple express" in his car, Dale Denton (Seth Rogen), a stoner, saw an Asian criminal getting killed by both Ted Jones (Gary Cole), a drug trafficker, and a corrupted female police officer (Rosie Perez) who works hand in hand with Jones. Afterwards, Dale gets as quickly as possible to the appartment of Saul Silver (James Franco), his dealer and the only person in town who sells "pineapple express".
However, since Dale remembered that he dropped a roach of "pineapple express" in his lousy getaway, Saul and Dale have no...
