Could someone at LAist please contact me about possibly reviewing films for you? I'd be a bit more thorough and perhaps even mildly entertaining. I just saw Into the Wild, we could start there- unfortunately Emile Hirsch isn't fingering himself during the opening credits, but nevertheless there are some flashes of brilliance in Sean Penn's depiction of Chris McCandless' beautiful, albeit short, life.</p> http://laist.com/2007/10/10/movie_review_we.php#comment-1217068 http://laist.com/2007/10/10/movie_review_we.php#comment-1217068 Comments Wed, 10 Oct 2007 20:18:21 -0800 <p>I saw this movie a few months ago at a screening, and I felt the same way, especially vis-a-vis a poor man's Departed. The movie started off well, but midway through, it just kind of lost momentum/credibility. Also, one thing that irked me about the movie was that the soundtrack was not, in fact, spot on (and happily, a few early reviews have noted this too). For instance, a lot of the music in the club was from the early '80s, but the movie took place in '88 or '89. It's a minor quibble, but sort of representative of how this movie falls short.</p>
