Jim Sheridan

I have seen My Left Foot, In the Name of the Father, The Boxer, and In America (masterpiece) and really love all these films. I haven't seen The Field yet, but will soon.

Not Crap

It somehow escaped my notice until now that he also did the 50 Cent piece "Get Rich or Die Tryin'." My mind, she boggles.

i've only seen "get rich..." and it was awful. not just because of 50 cent. in addition to the premise of the film being crap (and 50 cent being unable to really act), it was bad in many ways that seemed to be fault of the director. CRAP

i really dig his work minus the fiddy debacle. "in america" is one of only three films to reduce me to sobs in a theatre...maybe because i was going through a long break up, but that movie hit me good.

Fucking love In the Name of the Father (great use of "Voodoo Child"). Kind of meh about The Boxer. I'll check out In America.

NOT CRAP
