Insomnia and Enough
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Al Pacino has trouble sleeping, and there's trouble when J-Lo's awake in your new movies projecting through the holiday weekend glare of The Foxlight.
Al Pacino looks like he needs a little shut-eye in Insomnia. His lids are even droopier than normal in this movie. He plays a cop who was apparently told to go where the sun always shines, meaning Alaska, to solve a grisly murder. And guess who did it? Robin Williams. He's a long way from Ork. And that's a good thing because he's great and so is everyone else — including Nancy Drew cop Hilary Swank.
Insomnia's top notch according to most critics. And Robin? He doesn't want to talk about the movie, he'd rather talk about the Catholic Church.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Williams: "I think the priests should wear shock collars, so when they meet a 12-year-old boy and have impure thoughts, ZAP!"
Well, he's serious in the movie.
The other movie that wants to be serious is the J-Lo-rent thriller Enough. That pretty smartly sums up many attitudes towards Jennifer's acting. Her character is a battered wife who's had enough of Billy Campbell. We've seen this all before and better. But it won't stop fans who can't get enough of Jennifer.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}None of this matters because Star Wars will still be No. 1 and Spider Man will still be No. 2. Everyone else will just try to show.
Have a happy holiday weekend and salute a vet when you see one.
