Hard Eight

[love broker]

Easily the most enjoyable of PT Anderson's films, IMHO. Phillip Baker Hall is great and a tower of strength in the lead role. John C Reilly has never been better in his great portrayal of a loser on a winning streak and the most impressive of all is Gwyneth Paltrow. She was terrific. She was this movie in my eyes. Thoroughly entertaining.

Samuel L Jackson eats the screen up as usual and provides some great acting.

I didn't mind Boogie Nights, I thought it was a touch, well, dumb. But I thought Magnolia was better and I rented Hard Eight for curiousitys sake and would now say that Hard Eight is one of my all time favorites.

10/10

Highly Under appreciated HARD EIGHT certainly lives up to the quality in both storyteling & camera technique of both BOOGIE NIGHTS & MAGNOLIA.

A truly unique body of work from a gifted director who stil has much to offer.

HARD EIGHT is an insight into things to come. Good work Love Broker.

Why was Boogie Nights dumb? I can easily understand if someone finds it messy and boring (I don't), but how can you think it's dumb?

[love broker]

I just thought that the story was stupid and unnessacary but the acting was good.

I just did not see the need for it.
