Ever seen The Princess Bride? (you should, it's fun)
Well, this one is almost the same film over again...
Strip away the giants, the midgets, the fun,
turn it into a historical piece, add a dollop of Southpark's
mister Mackey's "war is baaad, okay?" and voila!

| It's too bad that they couldn't have shot this movie in North Carolina instead of Rumania--I think it loses something. The supporting actors turn in wonderful performances (Renee Zellweger, Natalie Portman et al) The leading actors left something to be desired, but again it may be because of the way the film was edited. |

| COLD MOUNTAIN is definitely the least of director Anthony Minghella's five films. It's not a bad movie; in fact, it has a number of fine scenes scattered throughout. But watching it too often feels like a chore--and a long one, at that. Renee Zellweger perks things up immensely once she appears, and the supporting cast is good, especially Eileen Atkins. But Jude Law and Nicole Kidman don't connect much (literally or figuratively), and someone should be ashamed of allowing Kidman to look so startlingly "clean" throughout the Civil War. Perhaps the original, longer version will someday surface, and I'll eat my words. Till then, Cold Mountain's a little TOO cold. |
