Saw this awhile ago, and actually already reviewed it in the Movie Tab II thread. But it seemed worth expanding on, so I reworked it and posted it as an "official" review.

By the by, on the main Reviews page (http://www.movieforums.com/reviews) you'll find a tiny little flag on the corner of the Cold Souls review box that says "RENTAL." This is a new feature that should result in more reviews, as opposed to now, where I usually only write something formal for things I see in theaters.

It's a small change, but it should provide a nice way to keep the area fresh and updated even if I don't get out to the movies as often.

I've seen this movie at Target and was hesistant about picking it up because I want a Blu-ray version ~ looks like there isn't one. I will have to pick it up - sounds pretty interesting and I like Paul Giamatti.

It's not bad, but it's a little derivative of Kaufman. However, it wasn't only that and most importantly: it lacked personality. A great film always leaves a lasting impression. Cold Souls is funny, though, which makes it completely watchable.

I'd give it the same grade: 3
