I Certainly Love Phillip Morris

I saw I Love You Phillip Morris last night. I'm a Ewan McGregor fan, so that was reason enough to pay for it - I didn't expect to like it as much as I did.

It isn't exactly a "good movie". It was funny, but then again, you can see it as just a sweet love story. It works both ways, though some moments are so clearly comedy you may feel annoyed when they interrupt a tender lovey-dovey scene. It's not Jim Carrey at his best, and it's not Ewan McGregor at his best, but you'll be entertained. Particularly if you're into conmen, gays and McGregor like I am. ;)
For all you McGregorists out there who are suspicious of this film - it's worth it! Ewan is insanely adorable in this one!

 

Yes, I'd love you too, Phillip Morris! ^^

I've also seen two other new movies during the last couple of weeks.

Sherlock Holmes was better than I thought. It wasn't how I like my Conan Doyle, but it was entertaining. Just try to forget the fact that it's the Sherlock Holmes, and imagine it's just someone with the same name. Jude Law was a surprisingly good Watson, but don't get me started on Rachel McAdams, her American accent and those darned there'll-be-a-sequel hints.

Princess and the Frog had a preview, too. And my, did I like it! It fits in well with all the old Disney classics and got me all emotional. Some rather good songs, and not one but TWO great minor characters. (I was very fond of Charlotte. She's what every girl gets like inside sometimes, even if they don't want to admit it.) Prince Naveen was rather annoying, though.

And I finally saw Dorian Gray. It was much better than I thought. I'm not sure whether Ben Barnes was acting or being himself, but either way, I enjoyed him as the naive, innocent Dorian of the beginning. Colin Firth did also very well, only a slight hint of Mr. Darcy from time to time. (He has been doing better lately, I'm happy for him!) The bits that followed the books were good, and those that didn't were simply unnecessary. We didn't need Lord Henry's daughter to mess with Dorian - or Dorian falling in love, for that matter. Props on the time skip though - no annoying "a few years later" text!



I think this pretty much sums up my latest seen movies.
