I am a movie fanatic. I watch movies on TV, at the cinema and I watch them over and over again. This is a way of logging the movies I watch and hopefully a down-to-earth critique of each, for people like me. In no particular order...although my favourite movie is first...

Lost in Translation

YEAR 1988

DIRECTOR Sofia Coppola

STARRING Bill Murray, Scarlett Johansson and Giovanni Ribisi 

WRITER Sofia Coppola

OVERVIEW A movie star in Tokyo to do a whisky ad and a neglected newlywed meet up as strangers.

OPINION  Bill Murray is mesmorizing…. It’s like watching bubbles float through the air…you cannot take your eyes off them, wondering when they will pop and surprise you. Such a genus!! My own personal feeling is Johansson is propped up by some very big talents, in all her movies and that her bubble will eventually burst – but not in a good way. Beautiful, compelling direction by Coppola and wonderful writing.

RATING YYYYY
