I'M STILL HERE

Description: The directorial debut of Oscar-nominated actor Casey Affleck, I'M STILL HERE is a striking portrayal of a tumultuous year in the life of internationally acclaimed actor Joaquin Phoenix. With remarkable access, I'M STILL HERE follows the Oscar-nominee as he announces his retirement from a successful film career in the fall of 2008 and sets off to reinvent himself as a hip hop musician. Sometimes funny, sometimes shocking, and always riveting, the film is a portrait of an artist at a crossroads. Defying expectations, it deftly explores notions of courage and creative reinvention, as well as the ramifications of a life spent in the public eye.

    I'm pretty sure this is a joke.

    Joaquin Phoenix is a pretty good actor, not great, but comes across as a self-obsessed brat in this movie. He doesn't have the charisma or charm to pull it off. Are we all supposed to be shocked at how the pressures of being a famous movie star can lead to jackass behavior? That Hollywood destroys souls? Give me a break. It's not art, its self-indulgent and dull.

    Steve: If you pay close attention to the Letterman interview, right at the end you can hear Letterman right before they cut the mic lean over and say "good job" to Phoenix. Letterman was in on the act the entire time.

    I don't for the life of me understand people who didn't get what Phoenix was doing this whole time. Why would he do it? He's an immense talent who got bored. It's not unheard of. Look to folks like Andy Kaufman for other comparisons.

    He looked high on the David Letterman show. If it was all just an act; he has taken method acting to a whole new level.
