Movie Reviews in a Nutshell.


Was supposed to catch Final Destination 3, but it was sold out. Bugger. I would have preferred watching Walk The Line but it isn`t showing anymore. Double Bugger. And so we settled on Rumor Has It. The movie was pretty entertaining, but truthfully, it was a very mediocre comedy film. The funny bits were a little forced, and people laughed only out of politeness I think. Kevin Costner did a great job but I can`t help but somehow feel that Bruce Willis would have played a better Beau Burroughs. Oh by the way I love this quote in the movie:

`Life has to be a little nuts or else it`ll be just a bunch of Thursdays strung together!'

It`s like the perfect excuse if you want to do anything silly or if you get into trouble with your parents for doing something you`re not allowed to. Heh heh.



Anyway, Sweet November was showing on Channel 5 when I got back so I caught that as well. Keanu Reeves and Charlize Theron shared an amazing chemistry in this film. The plot is quite similar to A Walk To Remember, except that the two have completely opposite endings. I like the way Sweet November ended, for it was sad yet oddly touching. I would have done what Sara (Charlize) did, which was to finally leave him. I guess she wanted him to remember her like that forever, the memories of their perfect love and the sweet november that they had shared, and not those filled with pain and sadness when she finally dies. Well in short, Sweet November beats Rumor Has It hands down.

All we have is how you remember me. I want that memory to be strong and beautiful. If I know I am remembered that way, I can face anything. Don`t you see? You`re my immortality.
