Music and Lyrics (2007)
An unexpected pleasure
It seems odd for me to give such a high rating for romantic comedy as I always find them frothy and lightweight. Yet I found this wonderfully pleasurable. Hugh grant may have been in his usual role of self depreciating charming English Gent who is living on his past pop star glory but the dialogue and one liners gave his role substance. He more than gave justice to them by his superb timing. Drew Barrimore also fell into the part as a woman who comes to feed the plants and ends up feeding ideas to him for a song in which he cant complete. The acting was spot on, the one liners witty but I think it was the music added joy to the film. As he said in the film don't quote me on this but something like " there is nothing like a good song for lifting your spirits in a second." I left this film feeling happy not only for the characters but in myself.!
The Interpreter (2005)
What is this about and do you really care?
Good acting. Poor thriller. Poor script. It can"t have been that bad though as I am still trying to work out who and why did what to do 'who----- if you know what I mean. OK so who or why did 1. Was there one plot here or two? Was the man who killed Kuman-Kuman the man who killed Simon working independently or for The President.
2. Why did he try to kill Kidman when his job was finished? 3. If working independently Why did the young boy at the beginning say the teacher says goodbye? 4. Why did Kidman get on the bus? 5. If Kidman had duel citizenship can you be sent back? 6. Does the fact I want to know the answers mean I have seen a good film or does it mean its a poor film insomuch as I have to ask them. I feel the latter.
