Mr Pink Is In The Pink

Interview
Acting School Confidential
Trailer

If yer casting a movie and lookin for the perfect fugly wormy guy, then Steve Buscemi is your man. And if you are seeking a beautiful ditsy blond, then Sienna Miller is mos certainly your woman. Put those two typecast characters together for one night only and what you end up with is a mos delicious meeting of the minds that they call Interview. Directed by Buscemi, Interview is a remake of slain Dutch filmmaker and Vincent van Gogh relative Theo‘s 2003 joint of the same name [trailer]. In what could have easily been a stagy yawn fest, Buscemi and Miller keep thangs moving as a snarky journalist and spoiled starlet, respectively, trading barbs from the get gogh to the get end. While Interview is thighly entertaining for all walks of life, it’s really a showcase for both its stars to prove their detractors wrong. After many misfires, besides his work on some Sopranos eps, Buscemi demonstrates that he’s quite adept behind the camera (I wonder if he’s at all like director Nick Reve in Living In Oblivion). As for Miller, she’s so easy on the eyes that mos of us overlook her chops o’ acting. She basically played a piece of a$$ in Layer Cake [TWS.org review] and Alfie, and although sum eyebrows were raised for her fine work in Factory Girl [TWS.org review], the movie itself didn’t focus enuff on the Girl for mos to take notice. In Interview, Miller plays a beautiful ditsy blond actress, but what she proves is that she’s a beautiful ditsy blond who can act
