Review of Hollywoodland (2006) by Jocastat. — 12 Sep 2006
Absolutely atrocious. The script was banal and general, and really told no particular story whatsoever. A two hour meander. [***SPOILERS***]Diane Lane is, however, along with Bob Hoskins, excellent. If the movie had focused on their relationship alone, and how Superman cozied up to her to enhance his career - then you might have had a movie.
Adrien Brody and the phantom 'murder' are ridiculous. Brody is a giant ham, who projects neither detective, nor father. He is out of his league, but in fairness has absolutely nothing to do.
The direction is limp and lifeless, and not a single moment is there an ounce of any true suspense or intrigue.
