Absolutely the worst movie.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

Recently I re-found my CD of S&G in central park, to only one week later get the video of the same concert. Again one week later I found "Old Friends" at a discount table in a shop at central station of my city. I watched in awe! At the beginning it is really hard to look over the aged old friends who weren't always old friends.There they stood, too old, fragile, and hardly recognizable... But only at the beginning. It took me a few songs to overcome the shock of age, and then suddenly, all the songs Paul Simon wrote at such a young age, suddenly had reached their final destination, at a concert in 2004.I know I sound soggy, but if you liked S&G and loved their lyrics, then you owe it to yourself to watch this concert. The score for this show was so subtle, adjusted to their age and vocal span, almost transparent, intimate and overwhelmingly beautiful. Old age as art! Without any fear for their last years, I saw them embracing their great lyrics, giving it body and soul.I loved it, and will watch it over and over again.

Simon and Garfunkel need no introduction. The folk-rock pioneers who gave the world beauty and hope through songs such as 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' and 'Mrs. Robinson' decide to set aside their differences, and give fans a great show.Back in the early 80's, the folk duo played a concert in central park, attracting hundreds of thousands of fans. A live album, film and tour followed. Though the performances were tight and their musical abilities were at their peak, they didn't seem to enjoy being together on stage, which somewhat spoiled most of the show for me. With Old Friends, they give a moving performance, and it's not just the fact that they're still singing their songs after all these years that gets me going, it's also the fact that they are singing them together and with pride and joy.It was their surprise performance at the Grammies that forced them into a tour, with little hesitation i've heard.They cover 20 plus career spanning hits including : I Am A Rock, Leaves That Are Green, America and The Boxer. Although their voices are not nearly as crisp and angelic as they were 40 years earlier, they still manage to hit the right chords, with the songs and the audience. My only complaint is the presence of a backing band. They do a great job, no doubt, but i've always been a fan of their acoustic only sets. There are perhaps 3 or 4 songs during the performance where this is the case, and it's quite moving seeing them in there old age singing their songs.A surprise performance by the Everly Brothers halfway through the show gives us a reminder where Simon and Garfunkel's roots lie.I recommend this DVD to anybody who is a fan of them. But if you aren't familiar with the two, then get yourself some of their greatest hits albums!DVD bonuses include candid footage of performances during their 1970 special "Songs of America" as well as a photo gallery, and unreleased song "Citizen of the Planet"
