no.88 Grace Is Gone

I really enjoyed John Cusack's left turn at Albuquerque. This is so not his fare and I loved him for it. The normally dapper, black suit, sunglasses as night wearing hot shit pulled off this schlub, a man who who was stripped of the one thing he truly wanted to be, who spends his mornings doing a fifth grade team shoutout to get motivated to move shovels. The pain, the confusion, it's all seen on his face as he tries to think of anything not to tell his girls. The pain is there when he tries to call off the fun. I know what if feels like to call that answering machine, I've done it before. I know this didn't get any acclaim, but I thoroughly enjoyed this sad but moving and heartbreaking journey.
