I'm not sure if this has already been discussed. I went to see Love in Time of Cholera and I was so disappointed. I think Javier Bardem is superb as Florentino Ariza but the movie in general lacks of the passion Gabriel García Márquez put in the novel. It seems like the director and the screenwriter are not familiar with the Caribbean culture and understanding of life and love. I didn't see the point in having an hispanic cast if the movie is in English. Some of the actors don't speak it well. Also John Leguizamo is a complete miscast. If you don't know what this story is about I strongly recommend reading the novel and not spending your money on this movie. Really.
Oilgun,Fantastic new signature!It is now on my to-do list to see every single one of Daniel Day Lewis' films... and to not ever think another less than good thought about him ever again.
I finally watched the Irish film Once. I now understand why it rates 97% Fresh on RottenTomatoes, it's absolutely wonderful! Brilliant really.
I watched it a few weeks ago and I loved it too. That may be a good one to watch again and try to cheer myself up. I loved the music.One of the songs was nominated for an Academy award. I so, so, so hope it wins!L
The film really was a good tonic. As for its nominated song, Falling Slowly, I hope it wins too but of course they'll probably give it to Happy Working Song from Enchanted
