disappointment ...

As you might have realized, i got off to a good start, but haven't posted anything in almost 2 months. I have been watching films, but nothing really good enough to write about.

the wicker man - everyone can act except nicolas cage - what happened to him? i didn't care for the film - moved too slow. Though, i must say, i didn't read anything about it, didn't know who was in it before i started watching it and was thrilled when ellen burstyn turned out to be sister summersdale. she's so great at parts like that.


fracture - it was ok, but not spectacular

the good shepherd - perhaps i just wasn't in the mood to have to pay constant unwaivering attention to this film. I found i had to keep rewinding parts to catch up again - which made an already long film even longer.

rocky balboa - actually, this was pretty good, but i just didn't have enough to write a review about. it's good - a perfect end to the rocky saga.

vacancy - the storyline just seemed old - travelers end up in the middle of nowhere and sadistic hicks turn their hotel stay into a horror movie.

the contract - morgan freeman & john cusack. Again, it was ok, but not spectacular. It had some good moments, but i didn't feel the tagline - "Every Killer Meets His Equal". john got lucky, but i don't think he was morgan's equal. is anybody???

hopefully i'll find something good to write about soon - otherwise i might have to do the short list, part 2.
