MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF GOOD AND EVIL
Description
Academy award-winning executive clint eastwood helms this story formed on john berendt’s best-selling book examining à la mode events and singular characters in lifelike savannah, georgia, following a intolerable murder. alternately suspenseful, satiricalAmazon.com necessary video
Readers of John Berendt’s bestselling novel were firm to be at slightest rather unhappy by this big-screen adaptation, but notwithstanding churned greeting from critics and audiences, there’s still copiousness to admire about executive Clint Eastwood’s take on the material. Readers will certainly skip the abounding ambience and governmental item which Berendt brought to his “Savannah story,” and the movie can usually blemish the aspect of Georgian history, tradition, and rich decline underlying Berendt’s fact-based attempted attempted murder mystery. Still, Eastwood maintains an positive concentration on the smashing eccentrics of Savannah, many particularly a happy Savannah antiques play (superbly played by Kevin Spacey), who might or might not have killed his crony and purported partner (Jude Law). John Cusack plays the Town & Country publisher who arrives in Savannah to find many some-more than he bargained for–including the city’s mythological draw towards black Lady Chablis (playing “herself”)–and John Lee Hancock’s uniformly blending screenplay succeeds in bringing Berendt’s characters vividly to hold up with copiousness of dainty dialogue. In identical conform to Warner’s acclaimed DVD of L.A. Confidential, this grand DVD includes a behind-the-scenes documentary patrician The Real People in the Garden and an interactive map debate of Savannah and the many distinguished (or notorious) citizens. The strange melodramatic trailer is additionally included. –Jeff Shannon

…back when it was called “The Great Gatsby!” This movie (and book) is a thinly-veiled rip-off of The Great Gatsby.

MIDNIGHT in the GARDEN of GOOD and EVIL: I kept waiting and waiting for this movie to get interesting. Every time it seemed like it was going to, nothing seemed to follow. And I mean NOTHING!What’s up with the UGLY transvestite? Is that the best looking black drag-queen Hollywood could mustar up? This sick looking slog looked like he was either on crack(no pun intended) or was in his last days of his HIV years. Probably both! It made me laugh every time people acted surprised this sickly looking, bag of sticks, was really a man. People acted shocked and surprised that what they thought was a “woman” with a deep voice, ugly as a bulldog and had no figure, was really a man. SHOCKING! And he kept refering himself as a “lady”. Oh that was funny, but I don’t think it was supposed to be. Sorry Clint, no sale here. I was a cab driver for about a year in Tulsa, OK and seen better looking drag-queens than the one, that was supposed to be a diva, in this snore fest of a movie.This movie is miserable and I don’t see why it was even released to DVD? There are so many more movies that truly deserve the attention and they chose this slop! The picture quality is very poor, as well. I paid $6 for it and got ripped off! In final: This movie truly is BORING and very hard to watch. If you’re going to watch it, good luck. It’s definately no treasure of the South, that’s for sure.

I FOUND THE BOOK A CANT PUT IT DOWN AND THE MOVIE WAS FAIR.JOHN AND KEVIN ARE GREAT AND (SONNY) WAS AS REAL AS SONNY IS! LOL.. AS A CHATHAM COUNTY NATIVE I REMEMBER THE MURDER WELL. BUT WHAT I FOUND OUT IN THE LAST FEW YEARS MAY BE EVEN MORE OF A SHOCK TO SOME!THERE USE TO BE A SMALL “SOUL FOOD” DINER IN POOLER ABOUT THE TIME THE BOOK WAS TO BE MADE INTO THE MOVIE. LIZ THE OWNER AND I WAS TALKING ABOUT THAT FACT WHEN SHE DROPPED A “BOMB” ON ME. SHE SAID “I HATE THAT WRITER JOHN B…WHAT EVER HIS NAME…HE MAKES OUT LIKE ITS MURDER WHEN I KNOW BETTER. I WAS THERE THAT NIGHT!” THIS I HAD TO HERE…. SHE WENT ON TO TELL ABOUT THE SECRET OFFICE OFF FROM THE PALOR THAT SHE WAS IN THAT NIGHT.SHE DID COOKING AND SOME OFFICE WORK FOR JIM FROM TIME TO TIME. SAID SHE SAW HIM SHOOT DANNY AND DANNY INDEED TRY TO KILL JIM. AS SHE RELATED IT “JIM SHOT THAT BOY AND IF IT HAD BEEN ME I WOULD’A SHOT THE S.O.B. AGAIN! HE WAS NO GOOD! I ASKED HOW THE POLICE MISSED FINDING HER THERE…HER ANSWER WAS “‘THAT SORRY BUNCH??? JIM TOLD ME STAY IN THERE AND BE QUITE AND I DID NO ONE KNEW ABOUT THE ROOM SO I WAS SAFE. IT WAS PAST 5AM WHEN I FINALY WAS ABLE TO SLIP OUT. LORD WHAT A NIGHT”! ALSO HAD THE PLEASURE OF CHATTING ON LINE WITH ED NORTON THE ALEDGED FRIEND AND SOME TIMES “LOVER” OF DANNY’S. SEEMS IT HOLDS TRUE THAT DANNY DIDN’T GIVE A DAMN WHO HE WAS WITH, MALE OR FEMALE AS LONG AS HE GOT WHAT HE WANTED. BUT AS BAD AS HE WAS HE WAS HANDSOME BAD A–! I ASK ED THE QUESTION OF WHAT DID HE THINK EVER HAPPENED TO DANNY’S BLACK CAMARO…HE SAID DONT KNOW BUT THINK WHAT IT WOULD BE WORTH NOW A DAYS. THATS A THOUGHT! (HOPE YOU POST FOR THE FANS)
