"Bill Murray was heading toward a career peak on the back of comedies
such as this one from 1981, the second film in his ongoing collaboration
with director Ivan Reitman (the two went on to make Ghostbusters).
Murray plays a chronic loser who joins the army and fails to find a fan
for his ironic sensibilities in his by-the-book sergeant (Warren Oates).
When push comes to shove, however, the smirking hero takes charge of his
ragtag unit and turns them into fighting machines, albeit to the rhythm
of hit songs by Manfred Mann and Sly Stone. The film is very funny and
plays like any one of a dozen comedies featuring players from Saturday
Night Live and SCTV. "

Alfie (2004) R2

"Jude Law's Alfie, much like Michael Caine's in the 1966 original, is
what you'd call an unrepentant womanizer. He beds 'em but never weds
'em, and New York provides ample opportunity to continue the
process--until reality slaps him in the face. Because Jude Law is, well,
Jude Law, you can see why he gets away with it as long as he does, and
the actor also pulls off the usually awkward trick of narrating directly
to the camera. The film, meanwhile, is a bit soft around the edges; the
whole thing would have more resonance if it wasn't quite so intent on
watching the unrepentant repent. Regardless, it's a surprisingly
thoughtful diversion, and there's fine work from Marisa Tomei, Nia Long,
and Susan Sarandon as the women who understandably make Alfie reconsider
his ways."

Confidence R2

"Bathed in self-conscious cool, Confidence is a heist caper in which the
heist is unimportant. As you might expect from Glengarry Glen Ross
director James Foley, this pulpy concoction is more interested in giving
good actors a lot of hip, salty dialogue as they scheme their way to the
royal scam. It's a poor man's Ocean's Eleven, just as enjoyable in its
own way, beginning when con artist Jake (Edward Burns) discovers he's
accidentally stolen from an eccentric crime boss (Dustin Hoffman, oozing
threat in a fine character turn). Promising to make amends by pulling
the biggest con of his career, Jake adds a feisty pickpocket (Rachel
Weisz) to his crew, which includes scene-stealer Paul Giammatti and Andy
Garcia as a dishevelled FBI agent (or is he?). With a cast like this you
can't go wrong! "
