Don Jon by Joseph Gordon-Levitt, 2013 (R)
Jon Martello's romantic exploits are legendary among his friends, but his obsession with online porn saps his enthusiasm for real sex. As he searches for intimacy -- or avoids it -- Jon meets two women with vital lessons to teach him.
I liked the way Gordon-Levitt made his movie look like a video clip for the first part of the movie, with everything in rhythm, sleek, almost fancy in its simplicity. The stereotypes are funny since they are so right-on, till the moment Julianne Moore enters. Of course, a movie with Julianne Moore cannot just be superficial. Although the shift turned ok for some time, it feels like an easy redemption at the end and almost a cheesy romantic comedy. Strange...
