Review of Elling (2001) by Reginald R — 14 Jun 2005
Another good bunch of movies seen. I don't think they require much commentary.
The African Queen in many ways doesn't have really any credibility. But who cares? Scenery is gorgeous, Humphrey Bogart and Katherine Hepburn are smiling on their way down the river, and life is beautiful. Despite some implausible antics especially from Hepburn, they have a good chemistry and their gay spirit shines through.
21 Grams would in my opinion be significantly better were it 40 minutes shorter.
THX 1138 is a bit dull. I don't know, maybe it wasn't such a cliche yet at the time, but we've all seen this story a million times already, especially the ending. Fairly well done, but uninteresting.
