The Savages

There is a moment in everyone's life when childhood ends and adulthood begins. For Jon ... more

(Academy Award Winner Philip Seymour Hoffman) and
Wendy Savage (Academy Award Nominee Laura Linney),
that moment is now. Plucked from their everyday,
ordinary lives, these two self-centered siblings
must suddenly care for their estranged, elderly
father. What follows is a hysterically funny and
irreverent look at life, love and
mortality-through one of the most surreal
experiences facing families today.

Caring for the elderly...

Advantages: Bittersweet look at caring for elderly parents
Disadvantages: Deeply depressing at times

...gets a phone call from the people in charge of her father's care - he has been smearing his own faeces on the walls and they are concerned about his health. Then his girlfriend, with whom he has lived for twenty years, dies, and he needs somewhere to live. Jon and Wendy are forced to put their feelings for their father behind them and cope with the fact that he has dementia. Will they be able to cope with his increasing health problems and vulnerability? ...
...having seen About Schmidt and The Bucket List, which deal with death and growing old, I thought I had seen more than enough. However, I am a big fan of Philip Seymour Hoffman - he's definitely in my top ten list of favourite actors - and so I succumbed. And although it is a depressing film, I'm glad that I took the time to see it. The performances are great and there are some moments of comedy to lift the mood; these are much-needed at times.

The Savages DVD

Advantages: The story, acting performances, making of
Disadvantages: Slow, limited release

The Savages is a small budget, independent film from second time director Tamara Jenkins. It stars Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Laura Linney as two siblings who have lost touch with each other due to their own troubled circumstances. They are forced together however when their once abusive father descends into dementia forcing Hoffman and Linney to come to his aid. The film is both sad and funny in it's exploration of complex family dynamics. The ...
...and completely convincing as individuals struggling with the guilt and failure of their own relationships and careers. Jenkins' script won the Oscar in 2007 and rightly so! Sensitive, poignant and darkly humorous. The special features are not abundant but the making of documentary is very insightful. ...

Savage Garden's latest DVD

Advantages: Savage Garden
Disadvantages: its not 100% like the concert held in London

In December my hubby and I attended the Savage Garden Concert held at the London Arena.The concert was brilliant.The atmosphere the crowd and the staff..the whole event was so well organized.It was a perfect evening.......Even addition Dockland trains were laid on to help disperse the audience. The only downside was that we were unable from our seats to see everything and there were no large screens..so when I received an email advising that the original concert held in Australia was available on DVD I was thrilled. The email from the Savage Garden promoters advised that the DVD would be released on the 26/12/00.On the 27/12/00 I visited all the stores in town Virgin,Hmv you name it I went there ..I was given very mixed info..either the DVD had sold out or it wasn't released etc ..when I got home I decided to look on the web ...

Review of Savage Garden - Superstars And Cannonballs: Live On Tour In Australia (DVD)

Disturbingly Raw

Advantages: Thought provoking.
Disadvantages: Depressing.

Director: Tamara Jenkins Writer: Tamara Jenkins Genre: Comedy - Drama Country: USA Certification: 15+ Language: English Released: 26th May, 2008 (DVD) MAIN CAST: Laura Linney (Wendy Savage) Philip Seymour Hoffman (Jon Savage) Philip Bosco (Lenny Savage) Wendy and Jon Savage, whose mother abandoned them when they were still very young, are forced to dredge up the past when their father, whom they haven't seen in years, is literally shoved into their arms. Unable to care for their elderly father who is suffering from dementia, the siblings decide to place him in a nursing home. 'The Savages' is a disturbing movie that dredges up raw emotions that are better left undisturbed. It is thought-provoking and sad, and for those who are just years short of retirement, the direness of this movie will be extremely ...

Review of The Savages (DVD)

The Bakelite Blood Rite

Advantages: A historical murder story that needed telling
Disadvantages: Poor delivery

Barbara Baekland (Julianne Moore) is a wealthy socialite, who lives off the adventures and stories of her husband Brooks (Stephen Dillane) expeditions in search of ancient mysteries. Barbara spends her day looking after her son Tony, while spending her nights organising dinner parties with the people any good socialite needs to be seen with. The trouble with Barbara is that she has a vile temper and a low tolerance of alcohol; the two together make her an embarrassment to her husband as she repeatedly alienates people who would at one time cut their arm off to be with. Starting in the 1940's and moving forward to 1972 as the movie progresses Savage Grace follows the disturbing journey of Barbara and her son Tony as their relationships become more and more disturbing. Savage Grace is an adaptation of the true life tale of Babara ...
