Even the movie remakes, which were supposed to be the funniest parts, were not that funny. It was a good idea, but they just didn't pull through.Caityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05026267090822859460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26412800.post-62347017524136047912008-10-15T10:20:00.000-05:002008-10-15T10:20:00.000-05:00Having seen Michel Gondry's previous two efforts I...Having seen Michel Gondry's previous two efforts I was expecting a whimsy and unconventional, albeit an intelligent film. What BKR turned out to be was just a sentimental, confused mess. I'm not sure if Mia Farrow's character was meant as a tribute to Woody Allen's The Purple Rose of Cairo where she played a movie-obsessed New Jersey housewife, but it should win an award for the most embarassing and cringe-worthy role of the year.<BR/><BR/>I recently read that a silent movie era director DW Griffith shot his earlier films in the Passaic area and that the town was the setting of a milestone documentary, The Passaic Textile Strike, produced by the Communist party in 1926. It seems particularly sad that the film's demoralised citizens of Passaic seem completely unaware of this.sylviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08262317117381241184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26412800.post-46647692511201065632008-10-14T06:16:00.000-05:002008-10-14T06:16:00.000-05:00I never saw it, and now I dont think I will.I never saw it, and now I dont think I will.drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15875348417732655239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26412800.post-1476785976508091862008-10-13T11:11:00.000-05:002008-10-13T11:11:00.000-05:00I know that I watched it because a friend of mine ...I know that I watched it because a friend of mine wanted me to, but I couldn't tell you for the world what that movie was about.

I think that the movie trailers did a pretty bad job of selling what the movie was all about. I thought that it would be a little more of a Jack Black screwball comedy, but it was a different kind of funny, and actually was pretty touching. The hook to get you in was the redoing of the movies and zany Jack Black, but it turned out that the story was all about Mos Def's character (who I also loved in that 16 Blocks movie with Bruce Willis).<BR/><BR/>Anyway, that's just my opinion. Keep up the good work here and on Redblog, and I can't wait to read you're Lost recaps in just a couple of months!OlNumba7https://www.blogger.com/profile/14101809623244321102noreply@blogger.com
