Tuna BLTs and Evian Water

**sigh**... Meet me at State & Main

Date of Review:  Dec 30, 2000
Review: I saw the ads for State & Main a few times on tv before I actually went out to see it. The commercials give you plenty of reasons to go see this movie, and when I did, I finally decided that there would have to be room made in my top-ten movie list...

I Need to Visit a Small Town!

Date of Review:  May 4, 2001
The Bottom Line: The main reason to watch this movie is because of the clever dialogue, and that is quite a significant reason. State and Main is definitely worth seeing.
Review: State and Main is an interesting look at small-town values and Hollywood immorality, and how they clash when they are thrust together. It seemed to me that it rang true, but I can?t be sure. Having only ever lived first in a large suburban town and...

State and Main: It's a Smash!

Date of Review:  Dec 22, 2000
Review: The Setup:

A Hollywood crew invades a small New England town to shoot a movie.

Performances:

The acting is uniformly excellent. Philip Seymour Hoffman, who often chews through his scenes, gives a less energetic and more...

Second Chances in Spirit of Sturges Mamet Comedy

Date of Review:  Dec 23, 2000
Review: David Mamet's new film finds him delivering a film in the spirit of Preston Sturges. I hope your familiar with Sturges' best films like Sullivan's Travels, The Palm Beach Story and Unfaithfully Yours. They remain among the finest film comedies ever...

"State and Main"; where witty humor and wry characters meet

Date of Review:  Dec 28, 2000
Review: State and Main is an easy-going little yarn; a movie so satisfied with itself, its characters, and its dialogue that it?s content to please us just by sitting there and smugly smiling, rather than jumping up and trying to surprise us. Playing like a...

Making Movies

Date of Review:  Feb 3, 2001
The Bottom Line: State and Main is a sharp, insightful look at film making, and the clashing of cultures
Review: It is truly a pleasure when Hollywood revels in poking fun at itself. Recent movies like Bowfinger and Cecil B Demented show that filmmakers, and film types indeed know how to have a fun with the images and stereotypes that have been laid upon them...

Mamet Returns to Comedy.

Date of Review:  Apr 20, 2001
The Bottom Line: A funny movie with witty dialogue and great performances.
Review: Anytime I hear William H. Macy's in a movie, I know I'll see at least one good performance in a film. When you add in Phillip Seymour Performance, that makes it two. When David Mamet is at the helm, you know two of the best American actors working...

Stay Away from State and Main

Date of Review:  Dec 21, 2000
Review: I am so glad I paid nothing to see "State and Main" at a screening in Scottsdale/Phoenix, AZ, on December 20, 2000. I am not glad I saw it.

"State and Main," starring Alec Baldwin, Sarah Jessica Parker, Philip Seymour Hoffman, & William H...

Don't Believe the Hype

Date of Review:  Jan 18, 2001
The Bottom Line: State and Main is an ok movie that is getting a lot of hype from movie critics...don't believe it. Either go to a matinee or wait for the video release.
Review: State and Main is the newest film from playwright David Mamet, and it has been getting some of the best reviews of the new year. I'm not sure why, but I tend to listen to movie critics a lot of times on a film like this, and so, last weekend, I...
