Raising Helen (2004)
Cute
That's about it. The movie was cute, had it's funny moments, but nothing more. Kate Hudson looked very attractive in the movie and I thought her acting was pretty good. The best thing was that the pastor in the end won kate over! I use to work at a modeling agency, and this brought to mind the topic of settling down. And I think that she made a very realistic move if she planned on keeping the kids.
I did find the movie pretty unlikely, but that's OK because it was really just a relaxing, mind numbing event! I wouldn't see it again however.
This does make me want to see How to Lose a Guy in 10 days. I am not too familiar with Hudson's films, this at least peaked my interest. My only other question with this film is what's up with Liz McPhair? I don't think I can connect those dots. And the song "Extraordinary"??
A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004)
Creative to say the least
Well this movie is creative to say the least. This honestly reminded me of a typical Carey role, only in various costumes. I found the first 15 minutes extremely dull and I was almost regretting that I paid to see this movie. But as it progressed, the scenery and story line improved, and was enjoyable to watch, at least for what it was worth. If your'e not a big Carey fan, don't waste your money. If you are, I'm sure you'll love this movie.
I guess I can say it was cute, and somewhat predictable. So if you don't mind those kind of movies, you'll give this a ten. I found it a little slow and boring at times. Enjoy!
Wicker Park (2004)
It worked for me
8 out of 10
Wicker Park was definitely enjoyable for me. The main reason being that I felt the pain of Hartnett's character and the joy at the end was so beautiful. Although I don't ever hope this happens to me.
I thought Diane Kruger gave a mild performance. I wasn't sold of her love. But Rose Byne did a splendid job. She sold me easily as the crazy-emotionally-wrecked character.
Because of this I definitely will go out of my way to see L'Apartment. I recommend this film to anyone who wants to see a film that shows how cruel love can be, but at the same time how wonderful love can be!
