I don't usually write a movie review on here. I thought of something tonight. Wouldn't it be fun to share a movie review like you do with a friend or a family member after you walk out of the movie theatre? Puts a different spin on it. If you're looking for a critical review, then read no more. I actually read Water for Elephants last year, and was surprised how much I liked it. Its about life in the big top. Sometimes the ugly side of the circus business. I am a fan of Rob Pattinson, twilighter here...although I haven't seen any other movies besides the Twilight franchise and Harry Potter. Reese Witherspoon, big fan. They both did a fantastic job. The surprise for me was how perfectly they casted the role of August, played by Christopher Waltz. He was exactly how I visioned him. And I loved Rosie., the elephant. It is unlike any movie currently out right now. Beautifully shot. My only let down I guess is the big scene at the end. I won't spoil anything, but the scene in the movie is not the same as the book. But, I guess thats why there's a book and a movie. Oh well. But go see it. You will like it. =)
I read the book and loved it - can't wait to see the movie!
ReplyDeleteHi Linda, thanks for stopping by! You will love it! =)
ReplyDeleteLoved the book and have yet to see the movie - I'm always afraid the vision of the director will be different than from what I read and had in my mind. Reese as Marlena works, not so sure about RPatz though. Christoph though seems to be a perfect fit for August... now if I could just find the time to see a movie. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by Roger! It is definetly worth seeing. I thought RPATZ did a good job. And, I'm not being too biased. Go make some time!
