Last night I watched “Alfie“, featuring Jude Law, Marisa Tomei, Susan Sarandon and Nia Long.
I read a bit about this movie before and saw its trailer. The trailer looked fun but the reviews weren’t that good. I rented it anyways as I don’t always trust reviews.
I like movies in which the character has this ongoing dialogue with the viewers, I think it’s really fun and cool. This movie does that and I really liked that about it.
The movie is about an English womanizer and how he comes to learn the consequences of his actions the hard way.
I really liked Jude Law in this role, he did a really cool job in it.
The movie starts off really promising and is quite fun, but the pace slows down and it becomes just a bit boring towards the end.
Anyway, all in all, it’s a nice light movie to watch with some fun and cool moments. Not a blockbuster but still ok.
My score for it would be: 6/10.
I agree MMM, Alfie is an ok movie.
I lately watched Wicker park this was a really good movie, I recommend it
Thanks for the tip Niveen 🙂
You’re the second person who has recommended Wicker Park for me, and I’m really looking forward to seeing it now. It seems like a really cool movie.
You should see Gilles Mimouni’s L’Appartement (1996) featuring Vincent Cassel, Monica Belluci and Romane Bohringer, instead of (or before) Wicker Park, the last is a Hollywood poor remake of the far better french movie.
In fact, I’m not very objective, since I consider “L’Apprtement” as one of the top 20 movies I ever seen. 😉
Oh cool, thanks for the tip Houssein. I didn’t know that Wicker Park was a remake.
I’ll try to watch both movies.
I mean, if it’s in your Top 20, it must be really good 🙂
I agree with you on Alfie the movie was promissing and just got depressing at the end. I think Jude Law just tapped in to his role in Ai. They are very similiar.
I didn’t think of it before, but now that I think of it, I agree.
His role in AI and in Alfie are quite similar, although I liked him in Alfie better.
