Closer
I can't decide how I feel about this movie. On the one hand, it was boring; on the other hand, it wasn't uninteresting. That is, it was kind of riveting, but ultimately a who-gives-a-crap experience. I guess what I'm saying is that I liked the smut.
How is it that I was ever an English major, when I have such a base level of literary appreciation?
Conversely, we can ask, why do works with any pretention toward "high" art feel compelled to be so smutty? It stopped being cutting-edge since at least the seventies.
I'm starting to formulate a list of movie maxims, and so far it consists of, "Nicole Kidman makes stinky movies." Number 2 might well be "Natalie Portman makes pretentious movies and plays annoying characters," though I'll withhold conclusions until I gather more evidence. I will say this much for Portman: her closing scene in "Closer" was dynamite.
Jude Law's character got on my last nerves. He did it to himself.

But she´s reallllllllllllly hot (NP that is!! NK is not sooooo... mmmmh).
Yeah, but you like annoying girls :-p
It´s more that she´s hot, though... I´m not wild about her otherwise. And next to Julia Roberts, most people would be hot. Sorry, but Julia just looks like a martian or something.
