Two of Twenty-Four

I cannot imagine life without movies, but am in no way what one might typically think of as a film student. I admit to watching and often enjoying foreign films, but to be perfectly frank I love nothing more than your down n’ dirty cheesy Hollywood action flick. Generally I watch all sorts of films so have a recommendation for almost anyone; except horror (no point with my eyes shut) or anything depressingly sad (film is for fun, not tears). This is raw “real me to real you” film feedback.

Anna and the King

Want to know what the most unexpected part of this movie was? Seeing Draco Malfoy as a young english boy, the son of Jodie Foster's "Anna". Every time he was on screen my warped mind just kept thinking Death Eater Death Eater! Anyway, putting that tidbit aside the rest of the film was what you would expect - a lush period drama with a touch of romance and war. Not generally my cup of tea, but it is a beautiful film and Foster's performance really stood out.

Jodi Foster is one of the most talented actresses in the business, but I still prefer the 1956 musical version, The King and I, starring Yul Brenner, Deborah Kerr and Rita Moreno. Oh, how casting has changed!
