The Number 23

This film was good. I admit, once Carrey starts reading the book the film went a whole other place than I expected it to go.  I must say Jim Carrey looks great with tattoos.  Anyway, the film could only be classified as like a psychological thriller/mystery/drama/sort of love story/mind f*ck.  That is one of the few films I have seen lately that I felt like I got my money’s worth. I saw a review the other day on the Today Show I think it was, saying that this was horrible. I would definitely disagree, it takes to to so many places that sometimes you know where it is going, but most of the time it twists and goes somewhere different.

Music and Lyrics

This film was alright for a chick flick.It had all thr right ingredients Hugh Grant as the pop has-been from the band POP!, the ever loveable Drew Barrymore as his fill in plant waterer and the need to come up with the new single for Cora (the movie’s Shakira).  There were some pretty funny parts and some originality but I still feel like this film was weird. The mini Shakira girl was comepletely off to me. I dunno how to explain it but I was just weirded out by her.  I can’t get the phrase “I’ve got Shakira breathing down my neck!” and ” I’ll show you the roof, it’s upstairs” out of my head.  There were a lot of parts with like singing spots which kind of made me a little uncomfortable because of how long they were.  Overall it was a pretty good chick filck. I mean it’s a chick flick.

On Dvd: A Good Year

This movie came totally out of left field for me. The cover made me think it was going to be like a mix between French Kiss and Under the Tuscan Sun. Which it kind of was, as I was pleasantly surprised.  Russell Crowe is great in this, not being a huge fan of him, he did impress me.  This film just had a lot of heart. Also being a sort of chick flick, it wasn’t cheesy like most of the ones out today. There was much more depth to the characters and some great filmmaking as well. I loved this film!

That’s it for today!
