    Broken Flowers  (2005)

    Now I may upset some of you folks, but I have to say that I really don't like Jim Jarmusch. Now I am only judging this on two films of his that I've seen, 1. Ghostdog, and 2. Broken Flowers, and also what I have heard about Coffee and Cigarettes. I think Jarmusch gets an idea about a cool movie into his head, then doesn't go anywhere with it. For example, Ghostdog. A story of an "urban samurai". Sounds cool. It's not. It was boring. And then, "oh I am goona make a cool movie revolving around coffee and cigarettes. Good idea? sounds like it, but from what I have heard it was just plain boring. Then you have Broken Flowers. A guy on a roadtrip searching for his son. Sounds like a good setup. I didn't think it worked at all. Some call it typical Jarmusch. I call it poor filmmaking with the mask of a hip indie film.
