Movie News and Views

I am launching my new blog Movie News and Views which is dedicated to the love and appreciation of cinema. I will post reviews of films currently playing in theaters, new DVD releases and old favorites. There will be postings on news and information regarding upcoming films. I will also have postings on actors, actresses, directors, etc. that I admire. In the future, when the blog is more established, I hope to post interviews with people who are involved in the filmmaking process.

Priceless

Pierre Salvadori has whipped up another entertaining confection (he also made The Valet). Once again this one stars the very funny Gad Elmaleh as Jean. Jean works in a hotel bar but he does anything that he is asked to do including walking dogs.
One night an attractive golddigger named Irene (Audrey Tautou). She mistakes him for someone rich and they have a fling. When her rich, older fiance dumps her she blames Jean. She goes off to find another one and he, by accident, finds an older woman to take care of him. Well, I am not going to say more about the plot.

This is a very charming film that will put you in a good mood - that is for sure. Tautou is very talented and she has proven that in many films. And Elmaleh is a find. He started out as a standup comic in France but there is no doubt that he has a future in cinema. And Salvadori certainly knows how to make a good comedy.

I highly recommend this film to those of you who want to walk out of the theater with a smile on your face.
