Review: Match Point
I had very high hopes for Woody Allen’s most recent film, Match Point since it stars two of my favourite actors, Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Rhys-Meyer. However, for the first time ever, I stopped the disc after just an hour and forty minutes. I’ve never NOT finished a movie on purpose (at least in recent memory.) Basically, you’d like this picture if you want a two hour ode to one dimensional, cheating social climbers. Otherwise, prepare to be disgusted thoroughly. The beautiful English settings were a saving feature but there is only so much you can do when you realize you’ve spent your evening watching Chris (Rhys-Meyer) think solely with his genitals.
One star for shooting in the Tate Modern as I’m sure this was not easy.
In other news: watch Brick now! If you are Hoover, watch the rest of it now. That is, if you can stay awake. 😛
I liked that movie! 🙁 Mostly because he’s hot and because my neck was broken and I didn’t have anything better to do. But I am sad you missed the ending when things started to look up….a little.
Brick sucked the big one. All of the characters were ugly, the plot was stupid and no one in the movie could talk. That kid from 3rd Rock from the Sun should go back to his home planet.
Note: Hoover fell asleep approximately 1/3 of the way into the film.
Hoover totally pussed out. It was like 9pm on a Saturday and he fell asleep.
Brick was really neat.
Things could look up in this movie? I was told that there was a chance he went to jail by someone that saw all but the last three minutes.
