Review of The Secret Lives of Dentists (2002) by John C — 17 Feb 2004

[b][u]Azumi:[/u][/b] Director of Versus tries the formula again, but it doesnt quite work. Hip young warriors are trained to be killing machines. After the first 10 minutes it takes a wrong path and never comes back. It has its fun moments, some memoreable characters as well as villians, but it just didnt work as a whole.

[b][u]Secret Lives of Dentists:[/u][/b] Again a movie in which a story is not really told, but you are rather dropped in the lives of the characters. The problem is, the characters are not fun, and their lives are rather uninteresting despite the deep problems that they have. Good performances from Leary and Scott.

[b][u]The house of Sand and Fog:[/u][/b] Good performance by Kingsley, who is a god among actors. Other than that, very boring movie. I had no simpathy for Connelly's character so her performance fell flat. And I still dont get what's the criteria for nominating a best supporting actor/actress. Shohreh Aghdashloo did a very underwhelming job as the wife. Just because she cries and cant speak english does not make it a good performance.
