Girlfight

Girlfight


Starring:Michelle Rodriguez, Paul Calderon
Studio: Sony Pictures
Product Type: DVD

Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
First-time director Karyn Kusama tells a simple but compelling story of a young woman in Brooklyn whose violent impulses in school, and her tendency to physicalize her anger, lead her to train as a boxer. Her trainer at first puts her off, but the combination of her desire and her physical prowess changes his mind. As played by Michelle Rodriguez, Diane is a scowling lightning rod for sudden violence who discovers that she can find a sense of personal grace in boxing--in the training and in the honing of skills--that seems to spill over into her daily life, despite the disapproval of an abusive father. Kusama isn't telling a new story here, but she tells a familiar one with a sense of passion and pride in the uncharted territory this represents for women. Though a romantic subplot seems almost tacked on as an afterthought--Diane must box the boy she loves--Girlfight is engaging and even touching. -Marshall Fine

        Description

        Actor James Caan talks about balancing big-budget movies and smaller independent films in a new phase in his career and about his latest movie, The Yards, in which he portrays a corrupt railway contractor. Then, director Karyn Kusama and actress Michelle Rodriguez discuss their new film Girlfight, about a troubled teenage girl who wants to enter the male-dominated world of boxing, which emerged from the Sundance Film Festival and is generating Oscar buzz. Finally, director Harold Ramis makes his first appearance on the show to talk about past films and his latest, Bedazzled, which is a remake of the 1967 cult classic about a man who sells his soul for seven wishes.
