Ten Benny, Sweet Jersey - I Love This Movie


I love this movie. I can't express in words my feelings about Ten Benny; the best I can say is, I love this film.

Thank you Adrien for this film. Stop making blockbuster junk like King Kong and go back to making small, independent films with original scripts written by one person.

Go and make another film with Eric Bross and Tom Cudworth.

just saw this movie for the first time. wasn't what i thought it was going to be, but it was still pretty good. you could actually see the emotions on some of the actors faces, always a plus

I agree that Adrian is genius, and that he should stop making so-called 'blockbusters' (though I loved 'The Pianist'), and he should go back to making smaller-budget films. I thought he was excellent in 'Summer of Sam' as well.

The real test if is an actor who I know from many films can still convince me of his 'new' character. I'd seen many Adrien Brody films before I saw 'Nothing to Lose', but he still totally convinced me that he was 'Ray'. Even after seeing him as 'Louis' in Hollywoodland.

I love Steve Carell as an actor, but all the characters I've seen him play almost identical. I love that Adrien Brody can adapt so easily to such different characters, and long may he continue in films because I've thoroughly enjoyed watching him.
