The Artist

Won award at Golden Globes and I like silent films so I thought I'd check it out. It was funny and romantic - no kissing though which I thought was strange. Penelope Ann Miller plays the wife of a famous silent actor. Once talkies come out he is reluctant and is told no one would want to hear him, so his career goes downhill fast. A young actress he helped out helps him out in the end. John Goodman plays the production studio owner, James Cromwell plays the driver (really cool cars from the 20s), and Malcolm McDowell has one short scene - not sure why him. Completely forget it's in black & white. Music is good. All in all, I say: RENT IT
