^ Sort of a hidden gem of 2007, in my opinion. I dug it quite a bit.
Spiral. First, let me say... the cinematography is stunning. Equally so are the set designs. I'm a sucker for responsive camera shots, and long-takes in which the camera pans and swings around without edits. I'm also a big fan of strong color palettes. Some scenes reminded me of the set in Hard Candy. I dug the Jazz portion of the soundtrack, but there were a few other musical pieces thrown in there that didn't quite mesh. Joel David Moore was excellent in his role. In fact, the three big cast members were all quite good... but Joel certainly stood out in great contrast (haha... yeah, you need to watch the movie to get why I highlighted that.) I was surprised that Zachery Levi played a role so out of his television fare (I'm a fan of Chuck...) Loved the character Amber Tamblyn played. Very smile-worthy. Her range in this film is outstanding. She definitely has talent. Oh, and that ending... I won't say anything about it. I thought it was okay, and then I loved it. Does that make sense? Watch the movie and you'll see. I don't want to say that much about it. Recommended. An indie hitchcockian film with a jazzy soundtrack, strong colour palette, and excellent performances. |

Agreed. I enjoyed it as well, Timberlake wasn't half bad, and the music is great. Quote:
Will definitely have to check this one out. Tamblyn has been a favorite of mine since Joan of Arcadia. Would be nice to see some more of her (in something other than a drama for 13 year olds).
