I still refuse to see "War of the Worlds" because I'm not going to give a red cent to Tom Cruise and his insane cult that abducted Katie Holmes. However, I did finally get out of the house this past week to see "The Interpreter" and "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy."
"The Interpreter": I've never seen a movie that was so boring and so full of holes at the same time. Normally moviemakers have you suspend your disbelief for a good reason. With this movie, it was about nothing. And the whole thing was obviously foreshadowed through a multicultural lens. Terrible discontinuity, anticlimactic, obviously foreshadowed and obsessively multicultural? Four strikes and you're out. Frankly, this movie sucked. The only saving grace was the bizarre sexual tension between Nicole Kidman and Sean Penn. Oh, and Sean Penn is amazing.
"Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy": It's a hard book to turn into a movie, because the narration is so overbearing. They did a good job with the plot, though. The actor that played Arthur was excellent... I've never seen someone more ackward in a movie. It was perfect. Plus, anything with Mos' Def is worth seeing. My only gripe was that Trillian kept slipping in and out of an obviously fake English accent. Couldn't they find a nice English actress? Overall, though, it was quite entertaining.
