RE: "Weatherman" review from Chicago


Thanks Heather and thanks for letting Tracy know that I called.


It is now 2 wks and a day without power. So send light, air-conditioning and a big ol' steak! Been a long time since I have had "real food". I have been cooking can goods on sterno. It's like what I imagine army rations are like. Yuck-o!!!!


I was able to go back to work last Friday. Now I can't wait to get to work. (for the A/C and the internet)!!!!!!

I had every intention of treating myself to a night out alone and catch this one. I want to see it so bad. But due to Hurricane Wilma only parts of the city has power as of yet and none of the movie theatres have re-opened yet. I am afraid I may have to catch this one on satellite or DVD. (sigh)

I just saw it today, and greatly enjoyed it!  It's really more of a drama than a dark comedy, but there are some funny moments as well.  I liked this one even more than "Lord of War".

I'm real sorry to have seen this and hope that it's just one opinion and not the tread.


From what I have seen and heard of "Weatherman" it looks like my kind of film and I'm sure that I will enjoy it. I've like the clips I've seen so far. And this is just my opinion as well but I am very anxious to go see it first hand when it comes out in my area.

"Weatherman" review from Chicago


By Matt Pais


The Chicago International Film Festival has started, and with more than 100 movies in the lineup, admit it: you're lost. Don't fret; we've got the flicks you can't miss--and the movies you wouldn't wish on your worst enemies. Plus, check metromix.com for daily reviews, showtimes and fest updates.

****: Go now!
***: Count me in
**: Could be worse
*: But not by much

NEW REVIEWS:

The Weather Man (U.S..)
*1/2
Oct. 20 at Harris Theater for Music and Dance
Skip it: Dave Spritz (Nicolas Cage) is separated from his wife (a terrific Hope Davis), unappreciated by his father (Michael Caine), and finds little pride in his job as a highly-paid Chicago weather man. But his pursuit of professional success and personal satisfaction can't decide if it wants to be a black comedy, a moody drama, or a time-to-get-my-life-in-order, "American Beauty"-style story of self-empowerment.
Catch it if: You want to count how many Chicago locations you can spot. There are tons of downtown and suburban locales you can't miss. Bottom line: A messy midlife crisis drama as unsure of itself as a weather forecast, with an incredibly heavy-handed voiceover from Cage, who sounds like he just woke up.
Bonus: The eerie experience of hearing Caine say "dildo" and "cameltoe."
