Review of Anywhere but Here (1999) by David K — 29 Jul 2004
[b]Anywhere But Here.
[/b]I was hanging out with a lady friend today and she wanted to see a DVD. She was in the mood for a "chick flick", so rather than sit through something I knew I would hate, I through out some suggestions of my own. First, I suggested [i]Annie Hall[/i], but she wasn't interested. Knowing that she recently loved [i]Where the Heart Is[/i], I then suggested [i]Anywhere But Here[/i] knowing that I liked this film the first time I saw it. Anyway, to make a long story shorter, even though it is geared more towards the females, [i]Anywhere But Here [/i]is a really good movie, and I enjoyed it even more on this viewing. Natalie Portman gives one of her best performances.
***1/2/**** (Second Viewing).
[b]Jules and Jim [/b].
I had high hopes for this movie, but I was left feeling pretty cold. I couldn't manage to relate with any of these characters, which made it difficult to care about anything that happened to them. The actions of each character felt unrealistic, and I had trouble understanding why they were doing the things they were doing.
**1/2/****.
