The Constant Gardener (2005)

Great Great film.

[7/10 · 2 September 2005]

I thought the movie was great and worthy of the praise it has been getting from audiences and critics alike. Ralph Fiennes gives the performance of his career as a grieving man looking for answers and is slowing discovering the corruption all around him and Rachel Weisz steals the film whole heartily with a really deserving Oscar worthy performance as a human rights activist who will stop at nothing to get at the truth. The story is pretty scary and the cinematography is fantastic. Yes, the shaky camera can get in the way but it's not distracting enough to ruin the film.

If you want to see a movie that will make you think, this is it.

Constantine (2005)

Yes, the movie is that bad.

[1/10 · 16 March 2005]

Lousy and extremely moronic Keanu Reeves sinker is as dumb as they come. Keanu is awful in his role and his performance is a real joke and most of the movie is as bad as he is. The only actor who does give a good performance is Rachel Weisz and she is really giving her all to this film but she's let down by a script that is really badly written and a cast that does not rise above the horrible writing. I think the movie would have been better off like many suggested before with her as the lead and it would have worked better if that was the case but its not and we have this film. A special nod does go to Peter Stormare and Djimon Hounsou for at least trying to do their best with their lousy characters but nether of them are in the movie very much.

Not much to celebrate now isn't it.
