Watched “The Family Man” and “Ever After” last night and absolutely adored them both.
"The Family Man" - Was *really* surprised by this film – Nic Cage and Tea Leoni are fantastic in parts that aren’t badly written, but they add so much to the roles in their lightly sprinkled subtle gestures and unexpected (i.e., non-cliché) reactions to situations and events. Worth another look if you saw it during its initial release in 2000 as your interpretation may be different now. Well done Brett Ratner, I may have to re-think mocking him, as I guess I sorta seem to like his films. Dammit!
“Ever After” - I’ve heard from several people that this was an above average film, which is surprising given the trailer had techno music throughout and must have tried to grab the “Romeo & Juliet” audience. Ignore the trailer… it’s doesn’t have the dialogue of “Shakespeare in Love” but it does have the same sweet romantic flair and a gorgeous score by George Fenton (check out other films he’s scored – he’s really underrated!).
