NEWLOVE

i didn’t love this movie.  emma thompson was fabulous, as always - in fact, all the acting was superb.  however, i wasn’t gripped as much as i thought i would/should/could be by the story.  of course, i was sympathetic toward the forbidden love story line and GOD DAMN matthew goode is H.O.T.

the movie is beautifully shot, very picturesque, as are all the settings they chose.  the script is good.  the music is beautiful.  the makeup is good.  the costuming left a little to be desired, i thought.

i saw it with hiko at the landmark.  GASP!  i know.  i know.  but it wasn’t showing at my beloved arclight cinemas, alas.  i have to say, the landmark has a better concessions selection albeit more expensive.  and their bathrooms make more sense.  also, the parking is free.  but their picture and sound quality leave much to be desired.  (plus, i have to drive 45 minutes across town to get there.)  at least they have assigned seating.
