 | Clay Pigeons is one of my all time, favorite movies. Its scenes are exceptionally shot (the landscapes alone are enough to watch it, in my opion) and the acting is top of the line. If you are attracted to the work of ANY of the members of this cast, you are sure to love their performances.
Now no, this movie isn't for the faint of heart, nor is it as light as a 'dark comedy.' It's relatively intense, though not all that gory. For sinister-veined, drama lovers, it's right up your alley. |

| Every now and then a movie will be released that will stimulate your brain and awaken your humorous bone which has been supressed by mind-numbing cinema. Forget formula who dunnit, this is a bit quirky with exciting twists and turns. Joaquin Phoenix is wonderful and demands your empathy for the character. What a feat in the modern world for an actor! Vince Vaughn is most charming and who wouldn't trust him?! My hat is off to the actors and the director of this beauty of a film. Thank you. |

| If you liked Fargo, you'll appreciate this film. Very funny despite the dead bodies that start piling up. Vince Vaughn steals the show as Lester Long, with a creepy laugh sprinkling his unpredictable behavior. You'll feel sorry for Joaquin Phoenix's character Clay for the trouble he gets mixed up in, even though he's far from innocent, which you tend to forget along the way. My 7 year old was drawn out of bed by the sounds of Lester Long's big mouth, and he plopped down on the couch and immediately started laughing at Lester's antics and creepy giggling. The soundtrack was perfect, and you may find yourself with a little Elvis on the brain after you see this...I'll never be able to hear It's Now or Never the same way again.... |

| Maybe I was smoking something when commercials for this flick first came out, but I thought it was marketed as a comedy. This is not a comedy. Unless you want to call it a "black comedy" which basically means violence and murder and sex for no reason is funny or absurd. I didn't like this movie at all. None of the characters are likable and the story is unbelievable. This isn't a sleeper, a cult movie, or an art movie. Its just a bad movie. If you want to see an "exploration of violence" type movie, go watch Kalifornia instead. You have been warned. |

| Janeane Garofalo is so great in this role, as are all the other actors. I would definately recommend this movie. It has a few slow moments but it has a great plot and a wonderful cast that more than make up for them. |
