Giveaway – ‘Shrink’ Starring Kevin Spacey

September 22nd, 2009 in Actors, Comedy, Drama, DVD, GiveAways, Movies -

shrinkOn behalf of Lionsgate, Screenhead is excited to announce the DVD release of Shrink September 29, 2009! 

Two-time Academy Award winner Kevin Spacey (American Beauty, Best Actor in a Leading Role, 1999; The Usual Suspects, Best Actor in a Supporting Role, 1995) stars in Shrink, a sharp-witted film about the courage it takes to admit you have failed and face the issues honestly… even in Hollywood. 

After watching Shrink one can understand why psychiatry is such an unpopular profession that holds the highest suicidal rate than any other profession. Henry Carter (Kevin Spacey) is L.A.’s top celebrity psychiatrist with an A-list clientele, including a famous actress (Saffron Burrows), a wildly insecure young writer (Mark Webber), and an obsessive-compulsive super-agent (Dallas Roberts). Robin Williams has a small role he plays brilliantly as a sex-driven superstar alcoholic. 

Drugged out and close to unintentional suicide Henry’s life is full of patients whom he knows he will never be able to help but only treat.  It could be that Henry is the Everyman for all psychiatrists like when he blatantly tells the public at large during a television interview that he is a fraud. I say bravo Hollywood for showing the base of the profession. 

Ironically, I enjoyed this movie and hope more people watch it because there’s some fine acting by Spacey and his cast. The ending is played out with a quick fix to these tragic lives and obviously the method doesn’t work.

Shrink DVD contains a host of special features including deleted scenes, audio commentary and on-camera interviews with the director Jonas Pate and producer Braxton Pope, along with the music video “Here” by Jackson Browne.   “Here,” a new original song by legendary singer-songwriter Jackson Browne runs over the end title credits, beginning when the screen goes dark at the narrative’s conclusion.  Browne is regularly cited as contemporary music’s quintessential confessional singer-songwriter, making his contribution to Shrink an ideal fit.   

Screenhead has a fresh Shrink DVD to give away.  Post your name and we will pick the winner Tuesday, October 20, 2009.
