-The Motorcycle Diaries (2004)
I wasn't too impressed with this one. I have nothing against foreign films, but if they can't grab and hold my interest within the first 10 minutes or have a very interesting plot summary, I pretty much just lose interest in it.


I managed to get a bit farther, probably because I can sometimes forget the movie altogether and just focus on sets, costumes etc if they depict a different time or place authentically. This had both and I was still yawning - and I can handle slow movies, on top of that.

I know they tried in this one, but nothing about a young Che going on a road trip across South America sounds interesting to me.


Tried, I really don't think so, it does not seem to me that it should have been very difficult to put together a film about how this man became who he was.

Of course it is possible that the movie got really interesting around the middle or end, but with the pacing of the story in the beginning and the fact there was really only one character and no particular tension at all, it just wasn't possible to watch it long enough to find out.

I want the DVD for my birthday so bad, yet I have to get this around my sister and my mom.

Yes he did, yet we may wonder why no one is still giving Rockwell the breakthrough he deserves.

Edward Scissorhands - This movie is very special to me, because over 2 years ago, it's what catapulted my obsession with Tim Burton and Johnny Depp. Everyone in my immediate family says that this is their favorite Tim Burton/Johnny Depp movie. My mom is especially fond of Edward because she says he reminds her of me.

It's a scam. Stop supporting scams. I can't believe the cast got sucked into it.

Edward Scissorhands must be my favourite Johnny Depp movie as well. I usually cry every time I watch it.
