American Splendor
Best movie I've seen
this year. Now available on DVD.
It's
hard to be objective about this movie. It was like spending an afternoon with
family members, in the underground comic book family. I enjoyed every minute of
it. I think Pekar was well-represented, and the cast was great (the actor who
plays Crumb was dead-on, and the guy who played Pekar was extremely good, too) I
can't stop thinking it since I saw it, last night. Maybe when I have another
day or two to digest it, I can add more. In the meantime, put this on on your
list of movies to see. It's completely original, I'm not surprised it's getting
such good reviews, as well as top awards at film festivals worldwide.
