You won't be disappointed!

I'll tell you why so serious

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

What. The. Ƒµ¢ƙ?? Really, Mr. Sheen? Really? Do you really want us to believe that this heinous exercise in self-indulgence is your true artistic expression? Really? I don't believe it... so much as I don't believe that he could also drag people like Bill Murray into this stinkin' little hole of his.And what's with the Coppola family these days? We once had the great and iconic Francis Ford with his almighty Godfather Trilogy, Apocalypse Now, and now we have Sofia that once made Marie Antoinette and Lost in Translation some years ago and this year just got mediocre with Bling Ring... and Roman with this? What the hell?? Was he with a gun being pointed at his head all the time to direct this? Did they make him an irrefutable offer? Was he on a killing spree?? I don't know.I just laughed twice the whole movie, that's it. It wasn't even real laughter, it was just one of those mouth corner laughter, you know, almost ashamed of laughing, trying to understand what the heck is going on... and the "Garota de Ipanema" version that I have to admit, was good and I just loved to hear it in Portuguese, my mother tongue, I just hate those English versions coming around, so yeah, great job with that! But again, there was no connection with anything! Terrible movie, terrible, no fun, no joy, just a huge Charlie Sheen commercial, and in case you just forgot that, they just remind you at the end! Simply put: dreadful, almost as dreadful as Movie 43. Avoid it!

A Glimpse Inside the Mind of Charles Swan III (2012) 1/2 (out of 4)Writer-director Roman Coppola quickly made this thing during the time that Charlie Sheen was going through his mental breakdown. In the film Sheen plays Charles Swan, a man who gets dumped by his girlfriend and begins to act in a variety of strange ways so us lucky viewers get the chance to look inside his mind to see what makes him tick. Okay, who in the hell really cares what makes Charles Swan III tick? I'm going to steal from Roger Ebert's review of this movie and he's right when he said a movie is a sad thing to waste. Not only is Coppola's talents wasted but so are Sheen's and Bill Murray's. Mr. Murray doesn't make too many movies these days and it's rather sad to see him wasted his talents in this film. I'm really not sure what Coppola was going for, although I'm quite certain somewhere down the road this here will be a cult movie with fans dropping acid and smoking joints to it. What we've basically got are a lot of small scenes where Sheen gets to act out a wide range of things. He would be dancing, flirting, find himself in a dangerous situation or he might just be looking at the ladies. The problem is that none of these "visions" are funny and after about ten-minutes it becomes clear that you don't care about Swan or anything in his head. He's a rather boring character who I'm guessing is loosely based on Sheen but I think the film would have perhaps worked better had they really gone after Sheen and the mental state he was in when all of this stuff was going on. I think that would have been a lot more interesting than what we get here. The only reason I don't give this thing a BOMB is that I'm going to at least give the filmmakers, actors and producers some credit for at least trying something different. However, just trying something different doesn't mean you're going to end up with anything good.

'A GLIMPSE INSIDE THE MIND OF CHARLES SWAN III': Two Stars (Out of Five) Bad boy Charlie Sheen stars in this attempt at a comedy film written and directed by Roman Coppola. Coppola is the son of legendary film director Francis Ford Coppola and brother to the much more successful Sofia Coppola. He's also cousin to Nicolas Cage and Jason Schwartzman (Schwartzman co-stars in this film). His former writing credits include co-writing 'THE DARJEELING LIMITED' and 'MOONRISE KINGDOM' with Wes Anderson. Considering his family and impressive resume I expected a lot more from him. I also expected a lot more from a movie featuring this cast (which includes Bill Murray, Patricia Arquette, Aubrey Plaza and Mary Elizabeth Winstead) but the movie is a severe misfire. Anything featuring Charlie Sheen in the lead with multiple dream scenes and musical dance sequences should have spelled surefire doom though. The movie is really bad; the cast (minus it's lead) is the only good thing about it really.The film is set in the 1970s and revolves around a graphic designer named Charles Swan III (Sheen). Charles was a pretty big ladies man until he suffered a mental breakdown after his most recent girlfriend, Ivana (the gorgeous Katheryn Winnick), dumped him. Now he spends most of his time recollecting on the past with his friend, Kirby (Schwartzman), and manager, Saul (Murray), while trying to figure out where things went so wrong. Most of his thoughts and visions are played out in fantasy dream sequences and many contain song and dance numbers.The movie obviously had a lot of potential (the synopsis sounds great and the trailer made it look hilarious) but the execution is horrible. It has a few funny moments (mostly with Murray and Schwartzman) but they're way too few and far between. It would be easy to blame all of the movie's failings on it's star, Charlie Sheen, but it was mostly, most likely, it's writer/director's fault. When working with Anderson Coppola has shown some skill but he obviously wasn't ready to helm a movie like this (he has written and directed a feature film before, 2001's 'CQ', but I never saw it). I truly hope his next project is much better than this.Watch our movie review show 'MOVIE TALK' at: http://youtu.be/Kq2wN7LTcuo

"Maybe someone hurt me, you ever think of that, maybe someone hurt me." Charles Swan III (Sheen) is having a bad day. His girlfriend just broke up with him and he has a near death experience. When he wakes up in the hospital he begins to go over what happened. This is a very hard movie to review. It was very bizarre but OK. The only real way to review this is that the movie was written and directed by Roman Coppola. While this is his first real movie he has directed he helped to write Moonrise Kingdom and Darjeeling Limited. The movie has a type of a Wes Anderson feel to it so if you like his type of comedy then you will like this. If you don't get or don't like his humor then I would avoid this. That is really the only thing I can say about this movie. Overall, not bad but really made for a specific audience. I give it a B-.
