"Last year I spent 322 days on the road, which means I had to spend 43 miserable days at home."
Bittersweet, a warm and brilliant film that highlights the barriers between technology and human relationships, and acts as a fable of independence at the risk of kinship; sometimes on the nose, sometimes incredibly subtle, it's Reitman's best, and the talented and beautiful Farmiga dazzles, and George Clooney is as charming as ever.
"Me and my boy here, we're gonna put a whuppin' on ya!"
What a long way John McClane has come — the character Bruce Willis plays in this doesn't resemble the character in the first three films in this franchise; AGDTDH is almost parody while being almost no fun at all.
"I am not the Zodiac. And if I were, I certainly wouldn't tell you."
A subtle but wonderful film, slow and deliberate filmmaking following it's subjects working tirelessly trying to decipher riddles, this feels much more like real policework than the grander Se7en; interestingly not shot by Jeff Cronenweth and it shows, but still tirelessly beautiful and oozes San Francisco.
"I live my life a quarter mile at a time. Nothing else matters: not the mortgage, not the store, not my team and all their bullshit. For those ten seconds or less, I'm free."
So bad it's almost fun — almost — it's goofy and has aged so fast.
"Listen to Tommy with a candle burning, and you'll see your entire future."
So delightful, it's an insightfully endearing coming of age movie about growing up, brotherhood, and love; one of the best movies about music ever made.
