My review on film Lost in Translation

[carole]

Well it certainly has been interesting to read all your comments, and it appears many of you liked the film, now keep in mind I did actually point out the good things in the movie, there were some funny parts, and great scenery as I mentioned before, I just was not in the least crazy about it, but it did not get on my worst list, so there must have been something in it, and I did not walk out in the movie, I think catnapper you should hire it out on DVD or Video and get your own opinion, don't be put off by mine, because it is just that mine, and as you have read some people really enjoyed it.

I guess I am just not that easily entertained, bit like catnapper, I like some action,it was just too slow for me, sitting still in a movie theatre for a couple of hours isn't easy for me at the best of times, so it has to be good to keep me interested.,but each to their own.

Now Richard, it was kinda half way through the movie I think, lol.

In all honesty even though the film had good parts, it was just so boring to me, and I asked several other patrons, there were only like ten of us there and they all agreed with me, maybe us kiwis just have a different aspect on things, who know's somehow I doubt that though.

BTW I respect all your valued opinions, and isn't this what makes our world, the fact we are all different. cheers.

P.S This was indeed a different role for Bill Murray, not sure it suited him that well., but he acted it well. but then he is a good actor.
To me there was something lost in translation here all right, a good story line, I did not want to spoil it for those who have not seen it, but it is basically about two people of different ages bored in Japan, and that is it basically in a nut shell,, I kept waiting for it to go somewhere and it didn't, it was just overall very disappointing., but I am glad many of you liked it, at least you don't feel your money was wasted, I would have rather seen Mystic River, but it was not a PG rating for my daughter, anyway folks it still beats sitting at home bored on a sunday afternoon, the popcorn and coke were good and so was the company, so two outta three ain't bad.
