changeling.

2/03/2009

me and Emma rented the movie Changeling last night. this isn’t going to be funny, i just liked the movie, I’ve read a handful of awful reviews and don’t know many people who have seen it, so I’m gonna give you my rundown of it and tell you to netflix this bad boy.

from the  director that brought you the racist hit Gran Tarino, and nationalist docu-drama’s Letters From Iwo Jima, and Flags of Our Fathers, Clint Eastwood corrals Angie Jolie, and my man, KGB, John Malkovichok to star in this joint. the movie is not “based” on a true story, it is not “inspired” by a true story, it IS a true story. this single mother raising her 9 year old son in the late 1920’s L.A. comes home after being called in on her day off, only to find that her son is missing. her son goes missing 5 months, till the LAPD find her boy… only it isn’t her son. she is insistent that this boy is not her son, and this embarrasses a police department that is already walking on egg shells with its city. when Mrs. Collins(jolie) rasies a big stink over the whole thing they throw her in a mental ward. Malcovich’s character is the west coast Pat Robetson i guess, he’s some rich, big shot televangelist who has made it his life’s work to rid the city of its corrupt, violent police force and sees this case as a great way to do just that.  so Malcovich gets some hot shot lawyer to get her out of the loony bin and they put the LAPD on trial. there’s so much more to the movie but id really not want to give it all away. but yea, if you know my taste in movies at all, and you agree with it in the slightest, you may enjoy this one.

red box this shit.
