Boogie Woogie (2009)
2/10
Great cast but I couldn't care about any of them

Well Cast, well acted, atrociously written look at the art scene....then again my experiences talking with people in galleries makes me feel that maybe they have the dialog right and the people are this vapid, self serving and in need of slapping. The dialog is just awful and the characters are largely monstrous twits and I couldn't stand them. I lasted about a half an hour before I turned the film off and went to bed last night (Thank you IFC in Theaters). The cast which has Stellan Skarsgard, Christopher Lee, Johanna Lumley, Heather Graham, Alan Cumming, Danny Huston, Amanda Seyfried and others is spot on. The trouble is everything they say and do seems false and pretentious (its as if its reaching for a point just off screen), which is owing to some art people I've talked to probably one target The question I had was why was I watching these people when I wouldn't take the time to spit on the characters on the worst of days? I couldn't answer that so I turned off the movie.
