The Giver (2014)
In many ways, the movie version of The Giver is missing the more elegant nuances of the book.
Category:Genre: Drama
Burning Blue (2013)
How nice, the director does his best to make sure that I don’t care even a little about these people and their story.
The Fault in Our Stars (2014)
The clarity of the messages in the book comes through despite the script laboring to pass off John Green as Nicholas Sparks.
White Frog (2012)
Is this a PSA pretending to be a movie?
Hick (2011)
This is one sodden mess of a movie that doesn’t seem to know how to tell me a coherent story.
Les Misérables (2012)
It’s a cliché, but true in this context: watch the original, or listen to the soundtrack – both are much better than this movie adaptation.
The Imaginarium of Dr Parnassus (2009)
More fanciful than anything else, this one benefits a lot from the hype generated by its leading actor’s death.
The Time Traveler’s Wife (2009)
If only I can time travel back in time and un-watch this movie!
Brokeback Mountain (2005)
The book is better, as the movie takes a safe approach to be more palatable to straight people.
La Meilleure façon de marcher (1976)
When the French folks decide to do sexy and drama well, they can really pull things off very nicely. Yes, pun intended.
