American Splendor

Rented It.

An awesome film! I loved the style and story of this movie. Its almost half film, half documentary. I had never read or even seen this comic book before, but I will most certainly keep an eye out for it. Definetly worth atleast a rent. I'm going to buy it. Fantastic!

Not familiar with it. What's it about, Nicholas ?

[Nick M]

Its about a comic book based on the life of a man in Cincinnati. He is a pessimist who is stuck in a dead end job and racked with loneliness. The movie steps back and forth between the actual people the comic was based on, and the actors playing them.

Absolutely hilarious, and very well made.

Thanks, Nicholas.

Good call Nicholas,I had been walking past this one in the Video store for a few weeks now and picked it up a few times but never got it out.Watched it last night and greatly enjoyed it.Seeing the actual people as well as the actors was cool.Good to see the blockbuster has not completely wiped out originality yet.
