Closer
I've really been putting my Blockbuster account to good use over the last while, renting all sort of films that have been raved about but which I wasn't sufficiently interested in to buy blind. This afternoon, I experienced Closer.Closer is essentially a romantic comedy about attractive Londoners getting into all sorts of messes in life and love... Pass me the sick bucket. And yet, despite essentially being the sort of film that usually sends me running from the room in disgust, and despite featuring Julia Roberts, Jude Law and Clive Owen - three of the most overrated, annoying actors in the business - I quite enjoyed it. The best moments come almost entirely from Natalie Portman, who once again is highly watchable due to her idiosyncratic line delivery. I also enjoyed the net-sex scene - that was funny - and the Inferno-like lighting in the strip club. I doubt I'd ever watch it again, but it was better than the usual Richard Curtis drivel.
7/10
