The Muse [DVD]

Muse:1. Greek Mythology Any of the nine daughters of Mnemosyne and Zeus, each of whom presided over a different art or science.2. musea. A guiding spirit.b. A source of inspiration.3. muse A poet.Free On-line DictionaryHollywood seems so false. Each of us has our own interpretation of Hollywood life, but I can safely assume that behind the glamour is a group of people playing one-upsmanship, trying to outdo the other and using any means to get there. Steven Phillips, played by Albert Brooks is a film writer. Now, Albert Brooks has always been the epitome of irony to me. His acting and comedic skills are so powerful that he has become a favorite of mine. Somehow Albert Brooks is able to convey and project the feelings of a film writer who is on the skids, but doesn't want to face the reality of a Hollywood that has no empathy. He has written 17 films and is comfortable with the company he works for. B ut, he is told by his boss that he has lost his 'edge'. Steven feels he is on the edge now and never lost his. After talking with his agent, Hal, played by Bradley Whitford, he is told that no studio wants him, they all feel he has lost the 'edge'. Steven goes looking for help, and ends up at the home of a fellow writer, Jack, played by Jeff Bridges. Jack reluctantly tells him he has hired a 'muse' to help him through the rough spots. At last Steven meets the Muse, Nicole, played by Sharon Stone and hires her. Sharon Stone steps out of her usual sexpot roles and plays a seemingly, intelligent woman who has wisdom to spare. That is not how this Muse works. Steven must pay handsomely, Muses do not come cheap! As time goes on, Steven's wife comes under Nicole's spell and she and Steven go to great lengths to keep their muse.This is a light hearted romp through the business of film writing, and we get a look at how Howllywood works. It is not all talent, tricks and under pinnings all play a part in this world. Self confidence can be the name of the game, but we all need a boost every so often. This is not one of Albert Brook's best film, but it is a good one. So, is it better to hire a muse or be one?Recommended. prisrob 01-23-12 Defending Your Life Basic Instinct 2

I am fortunate/lucky to have obtained the opportunity to purchase The Muse film via Amazon by January 9, 2018. I admit that it was an easy decision for me to give this film The Muse for two reasons that I feel ok with sharing. One reason pertained to the fact that I enjoyed the Defending Your Life film featuring Albert Brook and Meryl Streep and I was curious to see how this Muse film intersected with Defending Your Life. The second reason related to the fact that I do believe that a person can have multiple muses in their life and I was curious to see how The Muse film would combine with the livelihood of writing. Much to my pleasant surprise, The Muse film was entertaining to watch. The character of Steven Phillips (Albert Brooks) enjoys being a screenwriter and is willing to figure out a way to make his screenwriting career more successful. Steven Phillips friend Jack (Jeff Bridges) helps connect him to a woman named Sarah Little (Sharon Stone) who is supposed to be a modern-day muse. Steven Phillips has a happy family life with his Laura Phillips (Andie MacDowell) and kids. However, for understandable reasons, Laura Phillips is unsure of Sarah Little until she meets her in person. There are multiple celebrity cameos in this film that was entertaining to watch. As a person in the process of improving both my writing and creativity, I also enjoyed how the Muse film playfully toyed around with the idea on what a Muse does. Watching this film also helped give me some insightful ideas as a writer.

This is a good movie. You have to get his dry humor. But still there story is good and it moves; don’t drag.

Loved it. Andi and her best and adorable. Fun show.

I loved every bit of this move. This is Sharon Stone's best work to date. She's a natural. I hope she reads this review. I can see this movie a million times and it's like watching it for the first time. I laughed my butt off!

If you are looking for an uplifting movie, during these difficult economic times, this film may just be the inspiration to give you that lift. The main character, a self-centered, screenwriter (Albert Brooks), has gone dry and now has no new writing ideas & desperately needs new inspiration. So he does what many of us wish we could do, he requests the services of a high maintence Muse (Sharon Stone) through the rcommendation of best friend (Jeff Bridges). It turns out that the Muse has more inspiration for everyone around him. His long-suffering wife (Andie MacDowell) finally gets her chance to blossom & develope from the inspiration of the Muse. The demands of the Muse are hilarious and without realizing his situation the screenwrter comes up with a potentially, money-making script. After watching this film you come away with a positive vibe....

This movie features Andie MacDowell and Sharon Stone at the top of their games, and Al Brooks's writing is top-notch. I luff this movie. It is awesome because the pace is so fast. Without violence or sex, one is riveted and anxious about what will happen. Screenwriting is mentioned philosophically and only basically as an art in this movie, but what is said about it rings true. Sharon Stone plays an awesome Muse named Sarah who spreads her inspiration and awesomesauce as easily she spreads havoc for the artist to whom she is currently providing inspiration. This movie will inspire the viewer to take up writing or cooking or living a life of luxury, the life of his or her dreams! Viewers will be delighted about all the cameos in this film. I will watch this movie again and again for the rest of my life.

Funny little film. Elton John did the score of the film. Probably the most boring music Elton John has ever written. Still it's interesting to hear what he did. Pretty horrible acting in the mediocre film.

So funny from start to finish the ending is so funny with Sharon great
