adios, Anthony Minghella.
have i seen your films? some i have. did i enjoy them? mostly. at least you got a reaction out of me, and that, is what directors aim to do.
The English Patient (1996)
i confess i never saw it. it seemed a snore from the get-go. but maybe one of these days, i just might.
The Talented Mr. Ripley (1999)
the complete title was The Mysterious Yearning Secretive Sad Lonely Troubled Confused Loving Musical Gifted Intelligent Beautiful Tender Sensitive Haunted Passionate Talented Mr. Ripley? really? is that where Fiona Apple got her inspiration?
truth to tell, this one got a rise out of me. i started hating Matt Damon after this. i knew i could kill him on sight (or attempt to). only when Trey Parker and Matt Stone deconstructed him for me, did i soften my stance.
Cold Mountain (2003)
saw it. twice. sad but engaging.
Breaking and Entering (2006)
ah. awaiting viewing on my media server.
The No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency (2008)
ok, its still in post-production ...
i also enjoyed several you produced:
The Quiet American (2002)
the last good role of Brendan Fraser (Crash was an ensemble piece).
The Interpreter (2005)
two tightasses (Penn and Kidman) sharing the same screen is a little too much, but its still New York (hello, Pat Kiernan)
Catch a Fire (2006)
Michael Clayton (2007)
the last two are also on queue.
Minghella Moviefest, this weekend.
