Now, a lot of people like to pretend as though David Cronenberg is some kind of genius, and although he has made some great movies in the past, he's... I don't think he's all that great. Calm down, I didn't say he's a terrible director. He's a director that's capable of making both great and terrible movies. Now, this one wasn't absolutely terrible overall, but there were some pretty terrible moments within it. Most of the actors didn't really pull off their performances very well. It was difficult to imagine them as their characters and instead, I just saw actors delivering lines.

Now, that being said, Julianne Moore's performance was pretty good. It was nice to see her mannerisms and overall disposition to be quite different from a typical Julianne Moore role. Mia Wasikowska's performance was also pretty good, but with pretty lame performances from the teenage actor and John Cusack, those were pretty much cancelled out. Robert Pattinson was completely neutral and he did not do a great job or a terrible one. I felt myself annoyed by the repetitive and clichéd "Oh no, I see a ghost" scenes. If you're going go tackle something so overdone, then it would have been so cool if you try to add something new to the table. But nope, it's just Predictable.

Speaking of predictable, the outcome of the scene with the gun was pretty fucking predictable. Still speaking of predictable, the outcome of the scene in the bathroom was also pretty predictable. Something that I noticed about this movie and that I also noticed about "Cosmopolis", is that the background sounds are way too quiet.

The shot composition is pretty good and there was one pretty good scene, but there was one absolutely terrible computer-generated fire effect in what seems like it should have been an important scene, and I'd be absolutely shocked to find a single person who says that that didn't take them out of the movie completely. Cronenberg, you had some good stuff going on in the 80's , you know what the 80's were really good for? Practical effects! You know how you would have filmed this scene in the 80's? With real fire and stunt people!

Well, the soundtrack had that cheesy clichéd 80's synth, so it seems as though you kept the worst part of the 80's and got rid of the best part of the 80's.

This movie is not the worst thing in the world, but there were no good parts of it that didn't get outweighed by the negatives. And I'm giving this one a five out of ten.

**Not about the night stars, but the Hollywood's.**

The title gives an impression of someone lost in somewhere and trying to find a way back home. I did not know what this film was about. I did not know who stars in it and when it released. But I decided to watch it at the last minute without checking out its synopsis and I ended up satisfied. Not fully pleased, but the refreshing story and its characters interested me.

This is an unusual drama that takes place in a district where the Hollywood people are dominated. Our tale opens with a young woman arriving there and soon gets an opportunity to become a famous artist's personal assistant. The film also focuses others tales, so it is a multi layered story. But all of them are somewhere connected; particularly at the end. Revealing everyone's agenda behind their act is what brings the conclusion to the tale.

Not neatly told story, yet different. I would say futuristic theme. I liked the performances. Robert Pattinson was not in a major role, but the other like Mia Wasikowska, Julianne Moore were good. Revolving around the bunch film celebrities means there's no real ones involved with the real names, just mentioned the names who were not in the film. Hard to predict the story, I was not sure until it revealed itself everything at the end. That part was a quite a shock, not I expected, but that's the real twist. Overall film was decent, slightly it missed to be a great. I feel it is worth a watch if you want something new in the story.
