In between can be pretty grim. ]]> 30086@blogcritics.org Mon, 24 Nov 2003 20:05:18 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/11/23/193026.php#comment-30084 I must admit that I have liked Williams in some of his serious roles like One Hour Photo. ]]> 30084@blogcritics.org Mon, 24 Nov 2003 19:59:55 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/11/23/193026.php#comment-30083 For you then, Jim, the best that can be said of Williams in this is that you quickly forget he is Robin Williams. He can be a very effective actor. ]]> 30083@blogcritics.org Mon, 24 Nov 2003 19:56:30 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/11/23/193026.php#comment-30051 This movie got reviews which said it was terrible, so I've avoided it so far. And it has a wierd dialectic, I really like Ed Norton as an actor (though he's done some stinko movies) but am repulsed by Robin Williams. However, since I have a DVD subscription (moviesforme.ca) service I will probably check this out. ]]> 30051@blogcritics.org Mon, 24 Nov 2003 16:40:47 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/11/23/193026.php#comment-29999 it's a weird combination of "War of the Roses," "Things to Do in Denver" and "Joan of Arc" ]]> 29999@blogcritics.org Mon, 24 Nov 2003 08:16:39 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2003/11/23/193026.php#comment-29979 I liked this one too. It was one of those movies you think you are going to dislike, but it surprises. Dark, but strangely compelling. ]]> 29979@blogcritics.org Sun, 23 Nov 2003 23:06:16 EST
