Alan Movie n°1: The January Man
Reason I chose it for this week: The title: “The January Man”
Comment: There are a lot of bad critics about this movie; some of them are really harsh. Personally I don’t get why. It’s NOT that I LOVED the movie as some people, which defend it strongly, but I think it is still enjoyable. The movie is pretty unrealistic, but everything you watch doesn’t have to be 100% makeable in real life. The reason I think you should try this movie out is the cast: Kevin Kline as Nick Starkey, Susan Sarando as Christine Starkey, Mary Elizabeth Mastranton as Bernadette Flynn Harvey Keitel, Frank Starkey Danny Aiello as Capt. Vincent Alcoa, Rod Steiger as Mayor Eamon And Errol Slue as Chief Sund, Then naturally Alan Rickman, who plays Ed an artist, friend of “Nick”.
Alan Rickman’s acting was, in my opinion, really sweet and his facial statement is very good. Some people, again, disliked or even hated Kevin Kline’s acting, but on the other hand there are people which loved it… so what I mean is you’ll have to try it out for yourself. Don’t take it too seriously and I think it will be ok for you! In each case, if you are on this page it means you are an Alan Rickman fan (at least a bit ^^) so you will not loose your time since you’ll watch him acting: p!
Grade: I am not good with grading movies, I don’t really hate or love so… I think I’ll give a 6.510, but I am not even sure about this grade xD
“By Alan Rickman should win an Oscar”
