The only reason I'd tend to disagree ...Totally. The only reason I'd tend to disagree slightly is that I dug The Vicious Kind, whereas the films LaBute has directed have been bad "experiments" for some time now. I have not liked a movie of his in ten years (since Nurse Betty), and when he's failed, he's failed really spectacularly (The Wicker Man, anyone?) Having hated the British original, I'm not expecting Death at a Funeral to change that opinion for me, either.Derek Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13750747272647975591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-27000534064485801802010-03-23T14:33:34.677-05:002010-03-23T14:33:34.677-05:00Thanks for the kind words.

The whole movie felt like an experiment more than a story, which sometimes is how a Labute films feel too.Nick Priggehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17895803287589438170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17951989.post-68341790255023631572010-03-23T13:40:18.330-05:002010-03-23T13:40:18.330-05:00I just reviewed this movie -- I think I like your ...I just reviewed this movie -- I think I like your review better than mine, although I think I also liked the film a little better than you did. Excellent encapsulation of Adam Scott's performance. Here's what I wrote about Peter: <br /><br />"Playing the role of Peter, Alex Frost leaves little impression, partly due to his performance, partly due to how the character is written – he misses most of the movie’s major scenes either because of total obliviousness, or by sleeping through noisy incidents that might awake a coma patient."<br /><br />Just discovered your blog and am really enjoying what I read. Look forward to reading more.Derek Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13750747272647975591noreply@blogger.com
