RE: Groundhog Day - Movie Review
Hi Glen! Yes, I really enjoyed this movie. I did a reverse process learning about Murray's work, I first saw him in Lost in Translation, Moonrise Kingdom and St. Vincent; then I had the chance to watch his previous movies and was impressed to see his transition from comedian to a more complete actor.
There are a few people who have made that transition, or kind of ventured out into it. The most interesting ones to me so far have been Jim Carrey and Robin Williams. Both rather silly and over-the-top in their comedic approach, but both have managed to tone it down for different parts, or make movies that actually have more than just site gags and laughs.
Bill Murray has already struck me as someone wth a serious side, but wants to hide, for whatever reasons, behind the comedy.
Jim Carrey on his latest show is amazing! Robin Williams passing is such a loss, he made so many special films that I will always remember. It's true, it's like if someone can make you laugh out of nowhere, he probably has the talent to make you cry too.
Thanks again, Glen!
