A weak plot, dull direction and good acting make this this French movie a real mixed bag. However, it is about music and classical music at that and I can overlook even Godzilla-sized issues for its sake. It is also a comedy and there are some moments of note. But all the whole, it really isn't all that funny.
Don't expect much out of this one and just enjoy it for the music.
A weird and wonderful journey by Haruki Murakami, this is now one of my favorite books of all time! The imagination is stunning and the fact that it all starts with a missing cat is beautifully simply :)
The ending is a touch underwhelming. But I highly recommend this book.
P.S. I find it highly annoying that a couple of chapters from the Japanese edition have been excised from the English translation :/
An interesting plot that revolves around dysfunction, Safety Not Guaranteed could have been far better than it eventually turned out. The story is about a reporter and two college-going interns who take a trip to a small town to chase up an ad in the classifieds looking for a partner interested in travelling back in time. So far, so good.
With a rather dull storyline which had its moments, Magic Mike is not really going to be remembered for much besides Matthew McConaughey who was surprisingly good. However, the rest of the cast was pretty average, especially one of the central characters named Adam who was ridiculously high-school. Cody Horn who plays this character's sister reminds me of Julia Stiles.
