Shaun's Movie Review

Wednesday, January 15, 2003

About a Boy. Love it. Hugh Grant won me over in this film. I'd never paid much attention to him but after I saw this movie in the theater last year I went out and rented as many of his films as I could find. I still like this one the best. Both Marco and I agreed that he played Will exactly the way we imagined him while reading the book. I read it again right away.

Adaptation.
We actually went out to a movie last week. Nicolas Cage does a phenomenal and believable job of being two guys. It goes so far beyond (as any good movie should) what one might try to anticipate from seeing the preview. We enjoyed it so much we stopped and rented "Being John Malkovich" (written by Charlie Kaufman) and watched it that evening. We'd both seen it already but had forgotten many hilarious details. On the downside, being on this Kaufman kick, I took it too far and rented the abominable "Human Nature". Stupidstupidstupid. I HATE when that happens.
The Good Girl. Very good. Love John C. Reilly.
