Quietly involving - [12 Aug 2009]
The Bottom Line: This story of a jaded middle-aged man (Bill Murray) visiting various ex-girlfriends to see if he sired a child with one of them has no romance or excitement but it's a good character study from Jarmusch and a fine film; if you're interested...

Embarking on a journey of past - [05 Jul 2009]
Very few, infact very few films are genuine, bold and just engaging enough to fill your eyes and glue them to the screen. 'Broken flowers' is one of those films. You get the initial impression that the charecters you witness on screen, are genuine, realistic...

The back of Bill Murray's head - [13 Apr 2009]
The problems with Broken Flowers are not so much caused by the movie--although it is very slow paced, enough to drive some people insane--but by the marketing. This movie is not hilarious, it's not a comedy at all; that a film has a couple of moments ...

The Great Hoax - [24 Dec 2008]
Great film of Bill Murray moping. Sort of like his Lost in Translation persona, or maybe even him in Rushmore. He's a middle-aged man in a track suit, he's had several women in his life. The day that one of them leaves him he gets a letter; he doesn't...

What's not to like about Bill Murray? - [20 Dec 2008]
Bill Murray's recent movies (Lost in translation, Broken flowers... etc) are amazing and fun to watch. I sense some sort of personal isolation and cheerful depression in all of them. This one was no exception. The whole movie was around figuring out the...

Solid - [08 Sep 2008]
Bill Murray is the closest thing to a modern Charlie Chaplin, not in being a filmmaker, but in creating an onscreen persona. His `dour schlemiel' is every bit as iconic as Chaplin's tramp. He has played the same basic character in films from Groundhog...

Broken Flowers - [31 Aug 2008]
The start of it was boring and it is depressing to watch for those who just broke up with their mates.
