Weekend movies: Lemony Snicket and Constantine
We missed Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events when it went in the theatres, so we had to fix that one now the movie was available for rental.
I loved it! Johanna didn't like it too much, but I was simply charmed by the gothic aesthetics of the movie. Nevermind the strange plot, it was all so very beautiful. Jim Carrey made a stellar performance as the eccentric Count Olaf and the kids did their roles well, too.
After watching the movie, I just had to put a reservation for the first book. This is something I must investigate! I'd love to hear comments about the books, if you've read them.
Constantine was bad. We expected something like Hellboy, but it wasn't nearly as good. Keanu Reeves can't act, that's no surprise, but the movie was boring in other ways, too.
I mean, action movie should start fast and attractive, right? Constantine was dead boring until, say, half of the movie. It should suck one in right away, but it just didn't. Terrible movie - avoid!
