Miscellaneous Movie Musings the Sequel

[Strangler Lewis]

"Water for Elephants" was surprisingly good. Witherspoon was a bit dishwatery and ill-defined early on, but Pattinson did his sick to the depths of his soul thing well, and the supporting players were all great. Good meaningful violence and a decent wallow in circus grotesquerie. A great looking film, too, plus an elephant. What more do you want for your dime on a Saturday afternoon?
