Miscellaneous Movie Musings the Sequel

[Bornieo: Fully Loaded]

Aw NINE last night - A couple really good performances and some well done dramatic moments but it was a bit of a mess storywise - Daniel Day-Lewis was horrible in this with a really fake accent. The music/songs were all over the place and confusing mostly due to the actors trying to use accents in the songs.

Have you seen Fellini's 8 1/2? Narrative is decidedly a secondary consideration in that classic, so that may carry over into the musical adaptation as well. I've never seen NINE on stage, but the movie looks colorful enough from the trailer. It's really a lost cause trying to make a film based on such an iconic film (and B'way play) and try to come up with something distinctive, so my expectations for this are muted.
