Multiplicity

This was a fun movie, it’s comedy where a person has himself cloned to help with his busy life. Of course, his life just gets busier and it doesn’t work. I was wondering… would this work as something other than a comedy? Perhaps a murder/drama/mystery? There are a lot of possibilities here, I’m sure it’s just a matter of time until someone makes another similar movie. (see the sixth day – and it sucked).

 

Monsters Inc.

A fun premise, great animation & all… but there was something missing that left it short of the benchmark set by Pixar’s earlier films. I think it’s a simple matter that the jokes just weren’t as clever… or maybe the timing was a little off… I mean there was so much potential that I expected to be blown-away. Still, it was a fun movie & entertaining & worth a view.

 

Monster’s Ball

A charming love story, where obstacles to romance get killed off one by one… which I thought was far “too easy”. It would have been a much more challenging movie if nobody had died & the romance still happened. I did like the way that the movie left a lot of the dialogue unspoken – you had to pay attention to the subtleties of the acting to understand what the characters were thinking. Worth a view…

 

Monsoon Wedding

About halfway through, I was thinking, what a dreadful piece of bleaaaugh… But it got better, and by the time it was over, I was thinking, what a cool movie. Worth the rental just for the exposure to the whole Indian wedding thing. It was a little hard to pick out the dialog sometimes though – they drift back and forth between Hindi? with subtitles and English, and it’s kind of tough to figure out when they’ve switched because it all sounds the same. A couple times, I was waiting for subtitles, then I realized… oh, they’re speaking English again.
