dolorous

if i have the time i'll try to go through anne hathaway's film catalogue, including the princess diaries. although i'm still on the periphery for brokeback mountain, rachel getting married and get smart ( or the likes). there was a redeeming feature to bride wars, the elegant gowns for instance. i haven't seen les mis at the west end, i wonder how her fantine will fare in the celluloid version amongst cinema goers when it opens later in the year. from what i've seen on you tube, her rendition of i dreamed a dream could be enhanced (or i'm just tone deaf). since i prefer television as a medium these days, i gave the dark knight rises a miss until its digital premiere ( if there ever such a thing).

i haven't read the novel, One Day. but the movie version is quite poignant and sad. it's like another Love Story (1970), only spanning more than twenty years. when it comes to this genre, it's either formulaic or unconventional.  One Day is more creative but far removed from feel-good. if it helps, the leads are both good looking. emma (hathaway) is very hollywood, despite the British setting, her accent is a bit confusing (she still sounds like anne hathaway). whilst jim sturgess' dexter is not too hollow. there's a bit of depth in the screenplay but where's my happy ending? or i'm the one that's hollow?
