subject: Watch Some Where Online Free 2010 Part 1 {www.netwebsite.com } [print this page] Like Monet returning to his lilies, though with perhaps diminishing effect, filmmaker Sofia Coppola has returned to the daddy-daughter theme and to the world of flat, blank, affectless movie actors in flat, blank, affectless hotel rooms.Weirdly, the movie looks like an acidly satirical comedy about LA celebrity but with all the acidly satirical comedy removed, so that all that is left is a skeleton outline, a series of scenes and locations hotel rooms, lobbies, swimming pools, luxury automobile interiors in which essentially gentle, forgiving dialogue takes place.
In her tremendously funny breakthrough movie Lost in Translation (2003), Bill Murray played an ageing, lonely actor on a trip to Tokyo, who finds fleeting companionship and even a kind of redemption in the friendship he strikes up with young and vulnerable Scarlett Johansson; their relationship morphs from platonic flirt to a touchingly paternal care.
Here, Stephen Dorff plays Johnny Marco, a pampered movie actor, holed up in the Chateau Marmont hotel in Los Angeles a self-absorbed guy who is fawned upon by assistants, producers and especially beautiful women.
He is vaguely troubled by a suspicion that his life is going nowhere a fact ironically signalled by the title and by the opening, pedantic sequence showing Johnny driving his Ferrari round and round in circles.
Yet he is more borderline asshole than anything else, and never does anything really bad. Then his troubled ex-wife shows up, announces that she needs time for herself and leaves him to look after their 11-year-old daughter Cleo, played by Elle Fanning.
