The Movie Reviews

"The Damned United" with Michael Sheen, Timothy Spall, Colm Meaney, Henry Goodman, Jim Broadbent, Maurice Roëves, Stephen Graham, Peter McDonald, Giles Alderson, Mark Bazeley, David Roper, Jimmy Reddington, Oliver Stokes, Ryan Day

This is a semi-fictionalized biopic of Brian Clough's career as a football team manager (soccer coach) in England. He gets a bit overconfident and nearly loses everything. I like the two lead actors, Michael Sheen and Timothy Spall. We really enjoyed it and gave it   ★★★★

"He Was a Quiet Man" with Christian Slater, Elisha Cuthbert, William H. Macy, Sascha Knopf, Jamison Jones, Michael DeLuise, Anzu Lawson, John Gulager, K.C Ramsey, Randolph Mantooth, Lisa Arianna, Greg Baker, Tina D'Marco

A shy near-Asperger's man fantasizes about shooting his fellow employees who are cruel to him and tease him. But he doesn't realize that he isn't the only employee with such thoughts. Christian Slater is the gentleman in question, and he plays the part utterly without ego, and utterly to type. Great job!   ★★★★

Both sound interesting, TOL. Especially "He Was a Quiet Man". The plot sounds unusual.

Thank for two fine reviews!
