FREE SCREENING PASSES (Philly) And Mini Review – DON JON

Post Update 9/22 – Sorry, all the passes have been taken. Be sure to like our facebook page, or follow on twitter or pinterest, so you’ll be the first to know next time Tinsel & Tine has giveaways!

What drew me to this film, Don Jon (click for trailer) was the fact that it was written and directed by Joseph Gordon-Levitt! But when I mentioned this to 2 friends, both of which watch a fair amount of movies, they said, “Who?”

I find that strange, since he’s been a staple actor for me since playing an alien in the TV show 3rd Rock from the Sun.

But I would think the average movie-goer would know him from Inception, The Dark Knight Rises, 500 Days of Summer and Loopers. And if you don’t, pay attention, because he’s a very talented actor and now he’s a triple threat.

I screened Don Jon earlier this week and found it to be a spot on character study of an Italian, Jersey guy addicted to porn. He thinks it’s normal to wack off 5 or 6 times a day in front of his laptop; but once he falls in love with super hot Scarlett Johansson and she finds it disgusting, he can’t shake his addiction, even for her?

There’s actually a lot more to the movie then this thin plot, Julianne Moore plays a basket case student in his night school class and and it’s their unexpected dealings with one another that create the real emotional center of this Indie-ish-comedy. Gordon-Levitt’s use of repetitive scenes and locations, cleverly shows how insular and routine Jon’s world is, a world he doesn’t want or need to question until these two women enter his life.
