Movie Recs
Now, I tend to absolutely hate movies. I can't watch them without disecting them--as a writer and an actress. Stilted dialogue, bad characterizations, and cliched plots are all pointed out without mercy, as well as bad acting, lack of emoting, etc. When I watch bad movies like that (that aren't so awesomely bad they're good), I can only think "I could do it better" and elaborate on the ways the movie could be made bearable.
That done, rent Finding Neverland. Not only does it have Johnny Depp (giving a movie instant greatness in my eyes) but it's simply well done. It made me cry, guys. I simply fell in love with all the characters, even the draconian matriach by the end. Favorite character, though (besides Johnny Depp ^_^ ) was Charles Frohman played by Dustin Hoffman. I absolutely loved the guy and his gruff, muttering ways. ^_^ Maybe he was just my type.
And never rent Bridget Jones Diary: The Edge of Reason. It completely blows. It doesn't have any of the charm of the first one and I just found myself wincing instead of laughing like I was probably supposed to.
Sequels suck. There's a Miss Congeniality 2 too that I'm dreading too. Why can't these damn studios just leave well enough alone? Write a damn new story instead of spamming us all with half-assed sequels.
