And Now... Ladies and Gentlemen... (2002)
This movie is worth watching for the terrific soundtrack and the story 'aint bad'.
Plenty of food for thought and honey for the music heart'n'soul. The story of this weary master thief and a disillusioned (with love)jazz singer meeting,finding common ground and falling 'for each other' is age old. However, their common ground is quite unusual and a bit of a stretch (but hey...it's a story). Where they meet and how the story plays out, is an unexpected and interesting twist. To my mind, the acting and Morrocan setting are great. Jeremy Irons is his usual cool and collected self and the lead actress suits the part beautifully...and can she sing!! The soundtrack, to my mind (and heart) definitely steals the show. - I love blues/jazz and I found this sound track hauntingly, thought provokingly absorbing.
The 10th Kingdom (2000)
Unexpectedly, totally engaging entertainment
The 10th Kingdom was one of my greatest pleasures to view in a seriously long time! It was full of humour, romance, thrills, adventure, a great (and unexpected) story line and amazing scenery. Wolf stole the show, in my opinion...he was simply adorable (and more). The trolls were a makeup/costume feast. The scenic locations were breathtaking and the sets - smart visual feasts. Come to that, the entire movie is a visual feast. Most of the characters are strong and interesting and very engaging. These are just a small sample of the aspects of this movie which chart it's escape value off the map. Yes, it's a looonnnggg movie but so entertaining you really just can't wait to see every next thing that happens. When's the sequel?!
