Movie: Cold Souls


This should be a pretty funny one; dark, but funny I think. Paul Giamatti plays "Paul Giamatti" a kind of composition of all of his characters with all their morbid, depressing crankiness. He has his soul removed by this new fancy company that does that so that he can be unburdened and better understand a character he is doing on Broadway. Kind of one of the funny things is that this depressing gray man's soul is the size of what everyone describes as a chicka pea.

It is a great premise. Taking something so valuable and precise and reducing it down to something commercial and tangible like a tonsil or cellulite. It totally gives a knew spin on the whole concept of a soul.
