THE MASTER

Movie:  The Master
Jan's Rating:  B
Time:  2 Hours 16 Minutes

Jan's Opinion:  My husband, Dave, went with me to see this movie today and we were both surprised because it was not what we expected.  However, the acting of Philip Seymour Hoffman and Joaquin Phoenix was brilliant!  I predict they will both be up for an Academy Award next year and that Joaquin will win.  Amy Adams plays Philip's wife and also does a good job with the role they gave her.  It is supposed to be a story about the rise of a Scientology system and Philip is "The Master".  He meets Joaquin, who is a drunk and has a lot of problems so Philip takes on the task of trying to help Joaquin and turn his life around, so the movie is mainly about that.  There is also some nudity in the movie so if you're a prude, you won't want to see it.  Otherwise, it is worth seeing just for the acting alone.
