TWILIGHT
Recommended. A sexy, dark, unusual, very sensual love story without a single love scene in it. Full of subtleties, suspense and mystery and with bits of humour here and there (my favourite is the scene when they first meet). Written and directed by women and based on a book by a female - a few guys walked out commenting it was crap, I loved the movie. A sequel is guaranteed - can't wait!
THE TALE OF DESPEREAUX
Walked out. Children's cartoons with a philosophical commentary and a depressing storyline, characters drawn to look ugly and it's all really, really slow.
THE SISTERHOOD OF TRAVELLING PANTS 2
Walked out. About superficial girls with stereotypical problems.
BEDTIME STORIES
Watchable. Guessing the outcome of the bedtime tales coming to life kept me watching but this movie tries very hard to be funny, yet it isn't. Adam Sandler as usual cast in the role of a lovable loser with no comedy skills.
READER
Recommended. Worthy of a few oscars. A gripping, powerful, moving, meaningful story, perfect acting.
AUSTRALIA
Watchable. This "southern" (an Australian equivalent of a western), with brilliant Hugh Jackman (the role as if written just for him) would be much better if it were faster-paced and shorter. Much faster and shorter. Recommended for watching on Fast Forward on DVD.
