The Muse, the movie that was dumped by Paramount, and took about a year to find a home at the newly developed USA Films, is getting good reviews. Director Albert Brooks best know for Lost in America (1985) and  Defending Your Life (1991) also wrote and stars in this movie about a writer looking for some inspirations. He finds the inspiration he needs in sarah(The Muse) played by Sharon Stone, but he soon discovers that having your own muse isn't all it's crack up to be. Having seen my fair share of Albert Brook movies, I must admit that his blend of comedy doesn't appeal to me and probably won't appeal to the movie-going crowd. Maybe, I've been to dumb down, by movies like American Pie, Waterboy,  South Park and Something about Mary. Nay! More Reviews
