Review of The Rum Diary (2011) by Woody W — 20 Jul 2012

Moberg (Ribisi): "Is it the clap?".

Paul Kemp (Depp): "It's a standing ovation.".

I do love JD so as one would guess, I liked it. This was a quirky and strange, cycadelic trip sans the aid of any drug; in short, pretty much any of Depps other flicks (although in this instance without Burton). Superb cast-- of course I love Johnny Depp, Aaron Eckhart was just hubba-hubba and oh yeah, he acted well too and Michael Rispoli was just hi-friggin'-larious. If I ever want to get lost in paradise, I'd want him to be my guide! But I have to give mad props to the ubber talented Giovanni Ribisi who stole every single frame he appeared in (and that's practically half of the film!). He was totally awesome!
