LONESOME JIM (2006)
Directed by Steve Buscemi
Written by James C. Strouse
Starring: Casey Affleck, Liv Tyler, Mary Kay Place & Kevin CorriganRunning Time: 91 min.
Aspect Ratio: 1.85:1
As a director Steve Buscemi charged out of the box with his first feature Trees Lounge and his subsequent two films have not show any signs of growth. Casey Affleck plays a 27-year-old loser forced to move back in with mom and dad who is saved by saintly Ms. Tyler and her son. Anything with Liv Tyler, except those films that have the word “Rings” in the title, is worth seeing, but you’ll be hard-pressed to understand her attraction to Affleck’s loafer Jim. It doesn’t help that this is one of the ugliest shot-on-video films to find theatrical distribution.
