Review of Quills (2000) by Shane D — 05 Nov 2009
This, film #65, Quills, was bloody tough to get through. Now, on the surface I will protest to having to watch certain films, based solely on the cover of the book, this is one of those films. For years I mentioned it as a film I would never watch and now when given the opportunity to ensure I watch it, it was pledged and selected as one of the 70 films for the week.
Now, initially, I gave it some attention, because, what other option did I have, but after enough time, I had completely lost interest. The reasons why I normally steer clear of period piece films, is because invariably they look and feel like as if the actors involved are holding themselves a little "acting masterclass", equating corsets, costumes and old English accents to quality acting, but often equals over-acting.
Argh, I dont even have the energy to give this a proper review and thats partly because the effects of the week are now starting to take effect and partly because, well I'm sure I've made that clear by now.
Why couldn't film #65 have been Police Academy 4?
