2006
Written by Captain Mauzner, Aaron Richard Golub, and Simon Monjack
Directed by George Hickenlooper
Starring Sienna Miller, Hayden Christiensen, Guy Pearce, Jimmy Fallon, and Shawn Hatosy
Factory Girl is a fictionalized version of the biography of Edie Sedgwick (Miller), a socialite, model and muse of Andy Warhol who was infamous throughout New York hipster art scene of the 1960's.
The movie chronicles Sedgwick's rocky friendship with Warhol (Pearce), her rise to fame, her romance with "Billy Quinn" (a not-so-thinly veiled version of Bob Dylan, played by Christiensen), her drug addiction, and her fall from infamy.
To be perfectly honest, the movie was pretty boring.

I am finally catching up on some movies that I have been wanting to see now that they are on DVD. Here are a few mini reviews from this weekend.
Alpha Dog: 3.5 Stars
There was so much lead up (2+ years) to this film and a lot of hype about Justin Timberlake's acting performance that I began to get somewhat leery of whether this would be worth a rental.
