In America
It never really occured to me that I'd post something with "America" in the title that wouldn't end up being sarcastic or critical. But I really enjoyed this movie. Yes, it probably helped that I only had to pay three dollars for a ticket, but I feel that "In America" truly lives up o my expectations for a great artsy film. The movie is about an Irish immigrant family trying to make their way in Manhattan, adapt to a new culture, and move on from the past. The older daughter character is played by Sarah Bolger, who can probably build a solid career on this movie alone. She's got the talent, she's got the looks, and she's got a wonderful singing voice (in the movie she does a gorgeous rendition of "Desperado", which I find better than the original, but then I'm not a big Eagles person either). In short, see this movie.

The phrase "Irish immigrant" makes me think of the 1870s and 1880s, so when you said that this actress sings "Desperado" in the movie, I had a mental image forming of a VERY WEIRD movie. Something like a cross between "Gangs of New York" and "Moulin Rouge".
But then I figured it out. Trackbacks
