THE DESCENDANTS

At the Golden Globe awards, George Clooney won a “Best Actor” award and director Alexander Payne won a “Best Film” award for “The Descendants”. The film went on to win five Oscar nominations, including Best Actor for George Clooney and Best Director for Alexander Payne, which makes it a film that has caught the attention of movie-goers, and for good reason.

JACK AND JILL

Adam Sandler has been in movies since 1995, working as both an actor and director. He has tried to get out his comedy mode to make more serious films like “Punch-drunk Love” (2002) and “Reign Over Me” (2006), but he can’t resist reverting to the lavatorial, slapstick farces that have been a huge success with the mass audience. He keeps pushing the envelope, and his latest, “Jack and Jill”, has garnered the worst reviews of his career.
