Author Topic: Irrational Man (2015) Sam Graham AKA: "The Evil Sam Graham". Wackiness ensues. Posts: 1431 From: Waukee, IA Registered: Dec 2004 posted 08-08-2015 06:01 PM                        CINEMA: AMC Council Bluffs 17, Council Bluffs, IA AUDITORIUM: 6 PRESENTATION: Mystery Meat Digital PRESENTATION PROBLEMS: None RATING: Two and one half stars (out of four) THE PLOT: A bummed out professor finds a muse. Wackiness ensues. This is Woody Allen's annual cinematic contribution. Yeah, I hadn't heard about it either. Joaquin Phoenix plays a newly hired professor who has writers block and seems to have lost all sense of purpose. Nonetheless, another professor (Parker Posey) and a student (Emma Stone) are basically throwing themselves at him. We should all have such luck. The Phoenix and Stone characters are at a diner when they overhear a conversation that leads to the Phoenix character finding his muse in...well, let's just say the movie takes a "Match Point" turn. This isn't nearly as good as "Match Point", but it's still a decent watch if you're in the mood for a Woody Allen flick.  |  IP: Logged Jonathan Goeldner Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1360 From: Washington, District of Columbia Registered: Jun 2008 posted 08-09-2015 12:16 AM                     I thought the trailers did a very good job in hiding the plot.  |  IP: Logged
