Aimee Mann goes through the emotions Aug 17, 2009
That song, the emotional centrepiece of Paul Thomas Anderson's astonishing sprawling epic, Magnolia, is sung by each cast member, from Tom Cruise and Philip Seymour Hoffman to Jason Robards and Julianne Moore, in a devastating, heart cracking scene which turns on the lines It's not going to stop/till you wise up/no it's not going to stop/so just give up". You might think this kind of attitude would be depressing, a defeatist's mantra. You might especially think this if you knew that Mann, who... (Sydney Morning Herald -- Entertainment)

Werner Herzog Jul 6, 2009
It's strange that you're asking this because during the shooting of the film when I lost Jason Robards and Mick Jagger out of the cast, for a while I thought the task of moving this monstrous ship over the mountain was so close to what I had to do that I could actually play the part of Fitzcarraldo. If I don't find a real fine actor, I thought, I'm going to do it myself, it was that close. (Time.com)

Still more DVDs you should have seen (but didn't) May 28, 2009
As Joe's uncommunicative but tender-hearted father -- seen both in life and as a ghost -- Jason Robards virtually steals the show. As my sister-in-law observed, "Johnny" loses some of its mind-blowing potential if you're not stoned while watching it, but it remains a blunt and devastating critique of militarism and unthinking patriotism, as well as the coda to a unique career in American film.

Rep Picks: This weekend's best repertory films Apr 30, 2009
Charles Bronson is the hero, Henry Fonda is the villain, Jason Robards is the mystery man, Claudia Cardinale was never more beautiful, but the real stars are Leone's eye-popping spatial compositions and Ennio Morricone's operatic score. 12:30 p.m. Sun. (San Francisco Chronicle -- Entertainment)
'State of Play' Apr 16, 2009
Mirren never is less than effective, and that's the case here, though her character isn't as strong as Jason Robards' Oscar-winning turn as Ben Bradlee in "All the President's Men," the gold standard for editors in movies. There are, in fact, nods to that film throughout, which accounts for the comparison - it can't be helped. (AZCentral -- Entertainment)
