Movie Preview: The Mysteries of Pittsburgh
It wasn't my favorite of the 2008 Sundance movies I saw, but The Mysteries of Pittsburgh was still an interesting watch — and probably even more so for those who have read the Michael Chabon book on which the movie is based. Jon Foster plays the main character of Art Bechstein, a young man who passes his last Summer before entering the "real world" working at a book warehouse, meeting regularly with his dad (a shady Nick Nolte) for dinner, and sleeping with his boss, Phlox (Mena Suvari). Things get considerably more interesting, however, when Art meets the alluring Jane (Sienna Miller) and her boyfriend Cleveland (Peter Sarsgaard).

Michael Chabon, book-to-film heavy hitter.
After his book Wonder Boys was made into a movie in 2000, Michael Chabon's work The Mysteries of Pittsburgh made it to audiences at this year's Sundance (I thought the movie was okay). A film version of his tome The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay is currently in pre-production.
Sundance Review: The Mysteries of Pittsburgh
The Mysteries of Pittsburgh is great. And then it's terrible. And then it's puzzling.
