Movies from my couch: "On the stairs of death I write your name, Liberty"

Map to the Stars
Director -  David Cronenberg

Stars -  Julianne Moore, Mia Wasikowska, Evan Bird, Robert Pattinson, John Cusack, Olivia Williams

Story -  This movie is basically the story of a fucked up Hollywood family, a over the hill star trying to stage a comeback, a personal assistant,  and a chauffeur.  There are pyromaniacs, ghosts, drugs, a mom-ager, 3 ways, murder, drugs and a weird self help doctor. Is this what Hollywood and LA is all about? I hope so. 

What Did I think - It was interesting. The story was a bit crazy, but I liked it. Was off the wall and full of Hollywood cliches. The acting was spot on and a fun Sunday morning movie.

Julianne More was great as always. I kept thinking Amber Waves(Boogie Nights) cleaned up her act and this is what has become of her.

Everyone else was pretty good. I love Olivia Williams and wish she was in it a bit more, but other than that solid performances by all.
