Legally Blonde 2: Red, White & Blonde (2003)
Utter waste of time
I saw the first one on cable, I found it surprisingly fun and thought I would see the second one on a lazy saturday afternoon.
I felt sorry for the actors, not too much as I am sure their bank managers were much impressed, as however fine an actor, it would be impossible to make anything out of the dreadful material presented to them. The writers should be ashamed of themselves and the director seriously consider a new career path.
I admit I sat through the whole film, I kept thinking it had to improve but the final scenes were the worst, airheads take over Congress. I understood that the writers were trying to poke fun at politics taking itself too seriously but they fell flat on their faces to say the least.
I learnt a valuable lesson, read a few reviews and wait till these types of films are on cable.
I have been very disappointed with film releases this year, I am looking forward to LOTR3 but it seems that I must be in too old an age group for main stream films these days.
Attila (2001)
I fail to see the point
Why make a biopic that is so far from recorded fact that it could easier be part of Conan that barbarian series !! Its depressing to see that such production actually get financial backing. I would love to see some movies based around this period by theatrical license only goes so far.
Swimming Upstream (2003)
Another Biopic Melodrama
Sports films are usually filming by numbers but this piece of 'work' is also sadly lacking any dramatic impact, really a film version of a soap opera plot. Its sad to see Judy Davis is these types of films as I feel she is a huge talent.
Star Trek: Nemesis (2002)
Interesting premise but disappointing
Film's premise was interesting but basically had no guts to it. Tom Hardy's performance is worth noting and Patrick Stewart was reasonable, however the rest to the cast were surplus to requirements and its showed !!
Could have been a brave ending with Data's demise however the rather obvious introduction of B-4 made this a sub=plot by numbers.
Disappointing conclusion of the Next Gen films .... but then again we could see them all again.
Au revoir les enfants (1987)
Truly wonderful
My favourite film, the acting was special and I have never felt so emotional during a movie. The young boys face when he realises he has betrayed his friend. The whole film was so honest, it did not suger up the facts and showed human beings in a true light, showed that WW2 was truly a just and necessary war.
