Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)
WOW! this movie sucked
I attended the show on a late Sat screening, so I am pretty sure it wasn't the context in which I viewed the film that affected my opinion of it.
Before I entered the theatre, I had high expectations for this film. I absolutely love Will Ferrell, but not this character (or entire film). There were no funny moments in the film, only funny jokes here and there.
So, my advice to all of you Will Ferrell fans, please know that you might be unfulfilled with paying $10 for this film. At most, go to a matinée.
Like I said before, I enjoy Ferrell, but this film may suggest that he is not fit to be a film's vehicle- he is better with an ensemble. God bless you Will!
Plainsong (2004)
Read the book...
Plainsong is an excellent example of a book that should never have been made into a movie. It would take at least a mini-series to do justice for this novel. ANyone who has not read the book would be lost for a good portion of the film. Aiden Quinn made an excellent performance. Good casting for the McPheron brothers. Because I have read the book, I had high expectations for this movie, even if it was for tv (and Hallmark for that matter). However, the movie did have a 'simplicity' to it, which is the most credit it can get in comparison to its book. I would encourage anyone who found any interest in the film to read the book. In lieu of remakes, I suggest mini-series sans greeting card commercials.
