Movie Review: Stranger Than Fiction.

I just love that feeling a good film sometimes gives me. That certainty of how ironic and unreal life sometimes seems. This movie brought up so many questions about life, death, purpose and humanity. In my opinion, a work of art. I am a huge fan of good cinema and this movie has a little of everything. If you enjoy magic realism of the likes of "Being John Malkovich" this movie will be an absolute treat. The script was pretty funny, not to mention the amazing cast: Maggie Gyllenhal, Will Ferrell, Emma Thompson and Dustin Hofman.

I truly enjoyed this film. I really liked Maggie Gyllenhaal's performance, but then again, I'm biased because after I watched "Secretary" and I just melt with her performances everytime. This was a pretty good film with a remarkable cast, and even though it's premise is very similar to Kaufman's films, I loved it. Will Ferrell's performance was excellent. If you are like me, a sentimental fool who enjoys surrealism and magic realism, you will enjoy it!

Any other surrealism lovers out there? Any other film of this kind I should watch out for?

Here's the preview....
