Holofcener
The Village Voice calls Nicole Holofcener's new film, Friends with Money, "a wealth porn sitcom." That sounds like a much more awful review than it is. I never saw Holofcener's second film, Lovely and Amazing (must add to Netflix queue), but I have a weakness for her first, Walking and Talking. For two reasons, really: 1) it was the first time I remember noticing Catherine Keener, and 2) it featured Jeffrey's old friend Todd Field as Anne Heche's fiance.
Who can blame Holofcener for having Catherine Keener as a muse? (She's appeared in all of Holofcener's films.) If there was a Church of Catherine Keener, I'd surely be a member. (Maybe I should start one...) Here's a recent LA Times profile of Holofcener.
As for Todd Field, he's an accomplished filmmaker in addition to being an actor. He's most well known for having written and directed In the Bedroom. His new film (in post production) stars Kate Winslet.

It amazes me how many movies that I haven't seen - I know about them, I want to see them, all that is standing in my way is a Netflix account! Catherine Keener is so cool. In everything. She seems to simmer with power, like she could rip your flesh off with a very pleasant expression. Did you see where she defended Jennifer Aniston in an interview? I saw the clip this morning and it was like, OH WHOA! Don't mess with her!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Catherine Keneer. I would join your CK church. She was the BEST in Your Friends and Neighbors http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0119517/
I have not seen the directors first film Walking and Talking - will put that on Netflix.
Oh, ALSO, if there was a Kate Winslet church I would join that one too! Cheers!
I didn't know you had this blog, too. How can you manage to maintain two blogs and update them frequently? Man.
Sign me up for membership in the Church of Catherine Keener. I've seen the trailer for the Friend With Money movie and it looks good. It's got some of my other favorite actresses in it, too--Frances McDormand and now I'm forgetting. Is the movie out yet?
