Adeodato Sim : Five films (#5)
Ok, here we go again. I do hope somebody, somewhere is finding these
posts of some use.
*g*
- Changeling: I ll confess I m not very fond of Angelina Jolie, and I watched this movie exclusively because it came from Clint Eastwood. I gave it 5/5, which may be a tad too much, but that s how I felt right after it finished. It s not a light movie, but I do think everybody should give it a try when they find themselves in the mood.
- One Fine Day: This romantic comedy doesn t have much of a high rating on IMDB, and maybe I m too fond of George Clooney myself, but it pleased me enormously. Thanks to Marc HE Brockschmidt for having recommended it to me in the first place, though probably you shouldn t bother if you can t stand the genre at all. Ah, and Michelle Pfeiffer.
- Sling Blade: I was left deeply in awe by this movie, and even more so when I found out the director, writer and main role are all the same person, Billy Bob Thornton. One of the things that pleased me the most was the ending, because I found it included a good share of food for thought, particularly regarding how the characters would get on with their lives afterwards, which is not shown. Again, not a light movie, I ll reckon.
- Sideways: I enjoyed this movie a lot, and I should watch it sometime again, because I think I didn t scratch it enough. Which is great, because it s rather difficult combining hilarity with reflection. Viva la escena in the fast food restaurant.
- Tiempos de az car: I ve comitted to watching some more Spanish films, and this one is the more remarkable of those I ve seen as of late. This is a bittersweet love story spawning more than 30 years, and has Ver nica Forqu and Charo L pez in wonderful supporting roles. I should watch more films of Charo L pez.
