    Cold Souls

    Paul Giamatti is wonderful and I'd watch him read the phone book. Interesting premise and kudos for making this independent movie at all. Just wish it'd have been paced a bit faster.

    Odd. Very engaging and extremely well-acted.

    Cold Souls

    by Greek Thespian

    This movie is not about winter shoes. It is so enjoyable to watch a person who has a troubled soul see that that it is really a chick pea. It really made me laugh. Paul Giamatti has done it again leaving himself open to experience life again. The soul he receives is a Russian poet who he sees as beautiful. After a few weeks with his new soul he decides that he wants his soul back. After finding out that it has been misplaced, possibly in New Jersey, he wants to learn more about this poets soul he has rented. This leads him to meet the woman, a mule, who transported it from Russia. This mule is slowly feeling the effects, residual as they say, of transporting so many souls to America. This movie is funny, reflective and touching. Forget about the economy and see this film. Enjoy!

    The low-key satire would have benefited from more of a back story to Giamatti's...
