Shoot First, Ask Questions Later...

Date of Review:  Jul 6, 2001
The Bottom Line: This is a great light-hearted comedy that is witty and just plain fun.
Review: What is funny?

Well, if you were to ask me that question, the last person that would come to my mind is David Mamet. Normally, I am not a big fan of his films. He has proven that he can write sharp dialog, but I don't enjoy his films very...

"State and Main"; where witty humor and wry characters meet

Date of Review:  Dec 28, 2000
Review: State and Main is an easy-going little yarn; a movie so satisfied with itself, its characters, and its dialogue that it?s content to please us just by sitting there and smugly smiling, rather than jumping up and trying to surprise us. Playing like a...

State And Main - Where Show Biz Underachievers Pitch Inside Baseball

Date of Review:  Apr 13, 2008
The Bottom Line: Movies about making movies can be as riveting and hypnotic as books about writing books. "Close your eyes... you are getting veddy, veddy sleepy..."
Review: When I view a film (or watch a movie) I want to be challenged or inspired... or at least have something to show for my investment of time and electricity when the bombs stop dropping and the lips stop moving. At the conclusion, the worst thing that...

I Need to Visit a Small Town!

Date of Review:  May 4, 2001
The Bottom Line: The main reason to watch this movie is because of the clever dialogue, and that is quite a significant reason. State and Main is definitely worth seeing.
Review: State and Main is an interesting look at small-town values and Hollywood immorality, and how they clash when they are thrust together. It seemed to me that it rang true, but I can?t be sure. Having only ever lived first in a large suburban town and...

Inane...Never Trust a Guy who wears a Bow -tie

Date of Review:  Aug 11, 2001
The Bottom Line: You may like this movie if you enjoy reading cereal boxes at breakfast. It would be a stretch to call it entertaining. (I didn't like it). You might.
Review: If you have to watch a movie that everyone says is a comedy, I suppose you could pick this one from the list. No one dies in the film , boy gets girl, and sooner or later nearly everyone does the RIGHT THING...for the wrong reasons. It is not the...

It Doesn't Have to be about a Mill!

Date of Review:  Dec 22, 2000
Review:
Prolific writer David Mamet has written some 30 screenplays during the past 20 years, many of them serious pieces about life's losers and con men, though Wag the Dog certainly contained a great deal of sarcastic humor. The lighthearted State...

Mametian comedy - who'da thunk it?

Date of Review:  Dec 11, 2000
Review: David Mamet has got a distinctive style that usually screams for drama, as in The Untouchables or thrilling intrigue like Glengarry Glenross. The dialogue he writes is so off the cuff and non-committal that his characters are forced to fulfill their...

Damnit, Mamet!

Date of Review:  Dec 12, 2000
Review: I've always found it odd that movies about moviemaking tend to come from young directors, who haven't any perspective on the profession yet. To point the camera back at Hollywood at all is an exercise in self-indulgence, but the results are...

Witty, Sophisticated Farce

Date of Review:  Dec 10, 2000
Review: In this part satire, part screwball comedy, writer/director David Mamet explores what happens when a Hollywood movie crew invades the quaint New England town of Waterford, Vermont.

The story revolves around an idealistic, insecure and...

Everybody needs a hobby!

Date of Review:  Jul 11, 2001
The Bottom Line: Just as long as Mamet doesn't base any characters on himself again, we're safe.
Review: The first movie written by David Mamet I saw was Wag the Dog, and I loved it. Maybe I was a little biased because I admired the actors in it immensely, but Wag the Dog was also the first movie that made me realize what a great screenplay could do to...
