Must Love Dogs (2005)
I love John Cusack in this movie~
He looks really attractive in the movie: mature, smart and faithful to what he sticks to. He was a little gabby as "Jack", but very clever. I do appreciate his lines in this romance comedy. There're some kind of tactful conversation between the guy(who is still a little laddish to some extent~) and the heroine at their first date. And he knows how to break the defence of a shy and sensitive woman as "Sara". I really love his sideshow in a count-for-little comedy like "Must love dogs", though he is definitely great in dramas like "Being John Malkovich" and "Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil".
John Cusack is becoming more and more practiced. Look forward to his next comedy!
A Tale of Two Cities (1989)
It's a real masterpiece!
I met this mini TV series by chance many years ago, when I was still in my teen-age years, and I found I loved it at first sight.:) It's a beautiful journey watching this new adapted classic which continued for somewhat more than three hours. All the actors, especially those who stood for the four major characters, were definitely the perfect choices for this famous story.
I liked James Wilby, in the way he rambled around mopishly, the way he loved 'Lucie' in an unbeknown warm corner of his deep heart and he smiled before people weakly. I always thought that years ago James Wilby was one of the few absolutely beautiful actors I have seen in my life, and in this TV in 1989, his beauty was totally unapproachable! The performance of the good-looking french actor Xavier Deluc for 'Darnay' was brilliant too. It's really odd that during watching this TV I continued thinking about he was somehow a bit similar with dear Dicaprio in some aspect. But what a pity that he seemed to arise in other TV or movie out of France rarely these past years.
The french actress Serena Gordon for 'Lucie' had a pair of really large eyes! And she had an appropriate tender and lovely look and that kind of archaic temperament.
All in all, I would clutch at any chance to watch this splendid mini TV again! Regretfully, DVD version of it is not seen coming out by now in China. But it is still vividly memorized in my heart, in spite of these many years run through~
