2005 - A Reflection

[ZapRowsdower]

I will NOT be reviewing the previous three. Instead, here are the scores:

Waiting... - 75%
The Greatest Game Ever Played - 95%
Two for the Money - 80%

I also will not be reviewing this one:

Oliver Twist - 100% (Oscar predictions: Best Supporting Actor (Ben Kingsley), Best Set Decoration, Best Original Score)

I'm saving all the juice for my review on Elizabethtown, the new highly underrated masterpiece by Cameron Crowe.

Oliver Twist 100%, you say? Gooood. I wanted to go and see this a week ago but it appears we only have dubbed versions of the film here in Polish cinemas - and you don't have to think long to predict the dubbing sucks quite a lot.

Yeah, I found it VERY underrated. Roman Polanski kind of ran into a no-win situation by taking this movie on. They criticized him for making a faithful adaptation for the novel. HOW IS THAT A BAD THING? Would they rather he changed it? No. They would have criticized him for THAT as well.

I don't know, this year in particular, critics are just bitching a lot more.

And yet A History of Violence manages to be one of the best-reviewed movies of the year... Tone it down, it's not that good.
