I finally managed to watch Closer (2004) over the weekend and totally enjoyed it. What an amazing unconventional movie about love and abandonment, guys. Intriguing plot, wonderful script, outstanding acting performances! I suggest everybody to watch this movie, especially the not-so-young-anymore ones. Definitely my kind of movie, all dialogue and no special effects.

On the other hand, I unfortunately watched Kingdom of Heaven (2005) as well. Gee, what a totally boring, unbearably long and sadly disappointing movie. Coming from sir Ridley Scott, Gladiator's director, one could well expect something worth but it's not the case. Orlando Bloom is a cutie. That's all I was thrilled about, in between yawns. Nonetheless, I'm going to watch Alexander soon. I bet Colin Farrell will keep me awake.

I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, yes, magic. I try to give that to people. I do misrepresent things. I don't tell the truth. I tell what ought to be truth (Blanche/A streetcar named desire)
