The Omen (2006)
Barely a summary - just a few thoughts
Never in life can a bad word be said about Liev Schreiber's acting. To tell you the truth, the film has often been on cable the past few months and tonight was actually the first night that I was in bed being able to enjoy the movie in its entirety. However, I must say that I do not know much about Julia Styles, either on a personal or professional level. I think this was the one movie that I've actually seen her act! (Sorry Julia) The pairing of the two as a loving couple was more horrifying than some of the scenes! In my opinion, the movies seemed to be in halves. Something with the coloration. I guess High Definition TVs do make a difference. After his wife died, I saw Robert in a different light---both metaphorically, as well as, literally. Once he arrives in Rome, the darkness and beyond comes into play. I saw his facial angles in such a way where he was a timeless classic. Even charming at some points of a thriller! The bond between he and his son, Seamus Davey Fitzpatrick, was somewhat touching more so tonight possibly since he has just been given a son. Holding Damian, in the film, brought a quick pic of his character in A Walk on the Moon where he grabs his son, lifts him up, and hugs him. What a wonder! oh- absolutely can not forget to give recognition for the well-spoken Italian in that voice so many admire.
A Walk on the Moon (1999)
Liev Schreiber plays Marty as THE IDEAL man to marry !
Marty, in my opinion, is one of the cutest characters I've EVER seen ...and I create them for a living! Although Liev Schreiver is approximately eight years younger, to me, he hasn't changed a bit ! Liev's voice remains the same, with an accent that not only some can relate, but fall in love with. His voice is sexy regardless of the character he plays ! Well...excuse me, I haven't seem him play Chris the transvestite yet in Janek: The Silent Betrayal. Regardless, to me, he "makes" the entire movie! You go on a journey following this dedicated working television repairman, providing father, and loving husband. The film takes place in 1969, a time where many, including his character wife, Pearl, played by Diane Lane, had a child at a young age. She decides to have an affair with a loathly hippie creating devastating effects on their family. Upon admittance of the affair, Marty "goes through the motions" of any hurt and honest man. Leaving his home enraged, sitting alone with sadness shown through his eyes, and the irrational behavior of unsuccessfully trying to take his son. However, once his son becomes sick, he rushes home (over an hour away) to care for his "cowboy." That night was the fastest time that he had clocked, due to the fact that he traveled a long way in order to work each week. Despite Marty's wife's behavior, he also decides to forgive, forget, and "loosen up". No, Marty does not light a joint or play Jimmy Hendrix to appease Pearl ! He simply realizes that he needs to recognize his wife's needs. Rewind the final scene over and over again! He dances with her on their porch. So romantic.If I were Pearl, my needs would have fulfilled after the scene of the two lying in bed together !
