The Informant Review

I caught The Informant in the beginning of October and am still trying to comprehend the myriad of events and plot twists that occur in this delightfully entertaining film. As always Steven Soderbergh and Matt Damon are brilliant, and the mastery of each craft is so subtly executed, which is why I'm still appreciating and trying to unravel this dramatic-dark comedy, loosely based on the true story of a man who becomes an informant for the FBI will help him move up in the company. It's a solid film that will probably get some love come awards season, so don't be surprised when you see Matt Damon or Soderbergh all over the red carpets.

My rating: 8.8/10

trailer trash - The Informant

I'm in love with Soderbergh & almost everything he does. But this movie looks stellar and I can't wait for it to come out.

"It's like Meth for Grandma's"

I've mentioned how great "Breaking Bad" is before, but just can't seem to proclaim this show's fantasticness enough. Sunday night's episode solidified my appreciation for the show as it once again magnified what a total and undeniable loser Jesse Pinkman's character is.

Aaron Paul plays him with such perfection, that Jesse is the sort of endearing loser, you hope gets his shit together, but know he's simply incapable of ever really doing so. You may have also seen Aaron on Big Love as Scott, Sarah's much older boyfriend who became her fiance in the season finale.

This season on Breaking Bad he'll probably end up romantically entangled with his new landlady/next door neighbor played by Krysten Ritter, which excites and intrigues me, and will continue to remind me of that time I made out with some Russian dude who looked like him. Anyhoozie, Aaron and Emmy Winner Bryan Cranston swung by The Soup to pay

Joel McHale a visit, and of course hilariousness ensued.

Also here's some random art project by some random person that features Aaron in a video for Radiohead's "Everything In It's Right Place"
