ThumbsDown. Based on the brilliant novel of the same name, Love is an examination of past flames. If you enjoyed The Bridges of Madison County, you’ll want to check this movie out. It’s no where close to Bridges as a film but it does have some moments. I read the book a few years ago and wanted to see it on the silver screen. I have to say that i was disappointed with this flick but it could be interesting for fans of the novel. The cliche of “the book was better” totally applies to this movie. The romantic comedy Serendipity references the book and is also a vital part of the narrative. Seredipity is a much better movie. Its light hearted and chemistry between John Cusack and Kate Beckensale is golden. The Painted Veil didn’t work in trying to adapt this novel and it doesn’t work here either. Will have to wait until another adaptation is made to see if this novel can work on film.

I am a fan of period drama but this doesn’t quite work. The cast is pretty good but characters are not very engaging. It was a difficult call but i will have to say that Love in the Time of Cholera is a thumbs down.

Hollywood sucks. One of the reasons i’m starting to hate Hollywood movies is Hitman. “lets take a videogame and shoot a bunch of film rolls” If they’re going to make a videogame movie, make starcraft the movie. Maybe they had to rush production cause of the writers strike. Seems like a 14 year old wrote the screen play. I like the actors in this flick but they were used horribly. Was the director a teenager too? Visually it was lacking. I figured that it would gonna have some cool visual elements. Nope. Just copies of bad Hong Kong films.

I don’t want to spend any more time on this piece of sheit of a movie. It’ll probably make $100 million anyway. Thumbs down.

The little guy in Finding Neverland and Charlie and the chocolate Factory plays the lead in August Rush. The movie is too magical. It’s supposed to be a feel good flick but honestly…music is all around theme is kinda gay, not that theres anything wrong with that. Freddie Highmore is not as annoying as other kid actors but in this movie he is pretty annoying. If you want to watch a music movie with some annoying kids, rent the DVD of School of Rock. That movie rocks.
