Movie mania

30 second reviews of movies we watched the past weeks. Heck! These records are just to make sure I don't watch the same movies again.

House of Sand and Fog : Watch it just for Ben Kingsley. He is such a great character actor. Movie is thought-provoking, with an unexpected conclusion. You keep taking sides until the very end and stop as you feel so emotionally drained. You wish things didn't happen the way they did.

Constant Gardener : Read some good reviews about it. On the contrary, the movie is just some clever story-telling, with Africa thrown in to provide the color.

Maria Full of Grace: Foreign language (Spanish) movie which details the life of one young girl, caught in the drug smuggling racket. Although predictable, the movie has its moments of suspense.

Monster: Hopeful that Benigni would have produced another stunner ? Forget it. Expect a slap-stick balderdash coated with puerile humor.

Bewitched: Can't believe Nicole Kidman starred in this one. Avoid at all costs.
