Movie Monday - "Tangled"
Written on 4/28/2008 08:48:00 PM by Julia O'Keeffe
A younger Jonathan.
He tries to talk without his accent. It sounds...different.
Rachel Leigh Cook reminds me of a goldfish. Or a Kewpie doll.
Alan (JRM) believes in the "beauty of the impulsive act"
So he stands on the roof of a moving car:
He smooshes a Twinkie on her face and licks it off.
A relationship is born:
(I just like the shot of his tongue.)
His college friend is in love with RLC's character, Jenny. Tells her Alan is trouble. Much "so-called life" dialogue. You know, the incredibly articulate, poetic, tortured stuff that was all the rage in the early 90s.
Alan responds thusly:
(The dialogue for this scene: "Yes, this is my ass, and I figured since this is how you see me....the people at Kinkos were none too happy..." On a kite. LMAO!)
Jenny sets up camera to take portrait for photography class. Alan decides this is opportunity to strip down to nothing:
Although I can't upload that picture, the scene is here. NSFW!
After that - lot of shit goes down - betrayal, drama, etc.
Big love triangle.
It was so-so till the end.
At one point I thought, "Heh, it's like an R-rated after-school special"
The ending was pretty good. In a psychological thriller, dark, puzzle solving kinda way.
The more time that passes since I've seen it, the more I want to see it again.
RATING: 4/5 = Putting it on the To Buy list!
Good enough to buy huh? Definitely gonna have to check it out then ;)
