Some more notes on movies
1. While I liked The Best of Youth, it still really looked like a very good miniseries and not a movie. It was fun to look at hot Italian men but this thing just goes on and on. It also gets more soap-operatic toward the end. And wow, those wigs look awful at the worst possible moments. Still, it's a good story and well told for the most part. Also, I think it's almost unavoidable not to feel something for people you've been with for 6 hours (unless it's a really bad date).
2. Constantine was just silly. I think the dialogue was lifted right out of the comic book and it just doesn't work with live human beings. Especially if that human being is Keanu Reeves. Tilda Swinton is amazing as Gabriel, mostly because her androgynous look and voice is perfect for an otherworldly being.
