| | Movie Haiku: | Split Decision: Jan loved Streep & Cooper, but found Cage tedious & self-indulgent. Rich, however, thoroughly enjoyed this twisty, involuted tale of a screenwriter (Cage) trying to adapt an actual non-fiction classic by NEW YORKER writer Susan Orlean (played by Streep) without falling into any of Hollywood’s typical commercial traps. |
