I ♠ Huckabees
Thursday, July 5, 2007

I only watched it because Jude Law was in this film.

Wow, this flick is awful. And it has Lilly Tomlin
and Dustin Hoffman in it. Surprising.

I didn't like it because it smacks of an untalented attempt to bite "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" with Jim Carrey and Kate Winslet. Loved that film.

It was weird, eh? But so novel and imaginative. Charlie Kaufman is the same writer for the films "Adaptation" and the best one "Being John Malkovich." I love quirky stuff.

So why did "I ♥ Huckabees" suck so bad? The lead actor was an ugly guy. He wasn't quirky. He wasn't cute. He was Tom Cruise with wrongly placed features: fugly. It didn't work!

The bad guy was Jude Law. This guy keeps trying to portray a bad boy, but he looks too innocent to pull it off. Law lacks the sort of menacing gravitas that Clive "He should have been James Bond 007" Owen has.

When is Hollyweird going to offer Clive Owen some kickass, juicy roles? Must all English actors be stuffed into roles as evil terrorists, or fairy tales and flying dragon movies? (Rant is over.)

Anyway, Huckabees is a clothing or an everything-for-sale corporation. The lead actor, the homely male, is a poet who decides to have his own life investigated. I don't know and didn't care why. Seems that the Jude Law character, who works for Huckabees, was taking everything from him.

Who gave the green light for this film? I think Hollyweird needs a modest quota system. They can put out 10% of films that are quirky, family friendly, tasteful, and very well done by minorities (not white women, gay whites or other non-racial groups).

It wouldn't be hard to produce TV shows or movies, where there are other people in this country besides the ugly bores they keep putting out films about.

Did I say this film sucked? I can't say it enough times.
