Miscellaneous Movie Musings

[Gemini Cricket]

I just got back from seeing Babel. Meh.
The acting in this film is great. The cast was marvelous. There were some really wonderful moments in this film.
But it's about a half hour too long and not as clever as they would like you to believe it is. And the movie needed to find a clever way to work more comic relief into this film. It could have benefited from it.
I liked it better than Crash and about as much as Magnolia.
2 and a half stars out of 5.
