All Good Things - 3 stars out of 5 stars

Funny as a New Yorker you'd think I remembered the real storyline this film is based on.Sadly,I don't remember Robert Durst BUT I do remember a minor character in this film that was portrayed by Diane Venora as Janice Rizzono,in no uncertain terms as the real life former Westchester County DA for NYS,  Jeanine F. Pirro,now a Fox News babe.Flash a little leg,play to the camera,all like the real life Pirro who she does resemble.
Back to the film.It's the story of those damn fortunate rich folks who are never happy.Never liked those stories much,but in this case,throw in a innocent lower middle class girl who gets caught up in the drama including a abortion.Kirsten Dunst plays Katie Marks,that lovestruck but oh so wrong choice in men, young woman.From there we enter the problems of the rich who make their money off the seedy side of the old Times Square area on NYC.Ryan Gosling is fine as David Marks the man Katie falls for and the trouble focus of the film.From there it gets a little strange including a murder in LA and a "accidental death"trial in Galveston TX and Kates dissaperance.The story spans 30 years and gets boring in parts,thats why I only give it 3 stars.But as they say,truth is stranger then fiction and this is based on that real life character Durst ( David Marks) so they say,and I can't remember. Released in 2010 it runs 101 minutes,trailer URL follows the pix
