RocknRolla

RocknRolla is a fun movie. I guess the plot is sort of original, but it mainly gets by on the likeability of the characters.

I guess I can officially say I like Guy Ritchie's stuff. The Man from U.N.C.L.E was great, and I liked Sherlock Holmes and Snatch (although I no longer remember the latter). RocknRolla really pulls you in. It's engaging right from the start, and the characters are all likeable. It's interesting how little Mumbles and One Two want to hurt people, considering their line of work.

Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind

While watching this movie, I thought, "The last time I disliked characters this much was when I saw Being John Malkovich," and sure enough..this was written by the same man. Unfortunately, this didn't grab me the way that did, and it was even tougher to sit through. I think I may have to write off Mr. Kaufman altogether, no pun intended.
