I liked preparing for the dramatic Melinda [of Melinda and Melinda (2004)] because she was a real busybody. But the preparation wasn't easy because she was always drinking or smoking, and by the end of the day I would think to myself, 'Look at all the things she made me do!'
Finding Neverland (2004) The movie details the experiences of 'Peter Pan' author J.M. Barrie, which lead him to write the children's classic. He got to know four children who have no fathers. Drawing from his time with the kids, he writes a story about children who don't want to grow up.
Man on Fire (2004) In Mexico City, a former Marine swears vengeance on those who committed an unspeakable act against the family he was hired to protect.
Melinda and Melinda (2004) MELINDA AND MELINDA combines romantic comedy and drama in a way that Woody Allen, unique among filmmakers, likes to contrast. It takes place in Manhattan and chronicles a pair of crises that give reign to the talents of Chiwetel Ejiofor, Will Ferrell, Jonny Lee Miller, Radha Mitchell, Amanda Peet, Chloë Sevigny and Wallace Shawn. All the usual Allen areas are explained - the fragility of love, marital infidelity, sophisticated romance, the inability to communicate. As a character in the movie puts it, "He's despondent, he's desperate, he's suicidal. All the comic elements are in place."
