The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover (1989)

One of the interesting thing was color construct of the costumes. As the characters passed from room to room, their colors of the costumes changed. Even the color of each room somewhat related to the incidents which normally took place there. Explicit sexuality, some graphic violences made it more colorful for a terrific movie experience. Michael Gambon (The Thief) & Helen Mirren (The wife) both performed brilliantly on their respective roles.

>>: A-

Hellen Mirren is a goddess ... never more beautiful than in that film.

Compared to the rest of the movie the ending felt totally out of place, imo.

Cruel? I don't know if I'd go that far.

Donnie Brasco - 8/10
Great film. I had not watched it in a decade. Depp and Pacino are a great team when on screen together.

while I did NOT write the above review, it so perfectly mirrors my own opinion of the movie, I thought I would share it with you.

yeah - it wasnt a good movie .. but i disagree with the review in one respect - i thought it was better than #2 ...

i want so bad to like Brendon Frasier .. he seems like such a nice guy ..
He's in a ton of stuff which gives me the impression that directors like working with him..

I just find him to be devoid of any charisma .. he's like a big blank spot on the screen. I think it's partly his choice in what works he takes .. he's been in more stinkers than Christopher Lambert ... but i think there's something esle - something intangeable ... he just doesnt fit on the screen well.

one exception : Gods and Monsters ... he did well in that film.
maybe he should stick to drama for a long while.
