This is the biographical film about Sylvia Plath. I was bored out of my mind... but if you like movies about suicidal poem writes who are insanely jealous and paranoid about her husband being unfaithful, this might be right up your alley.
I was just annoyed by the end of it. The only thing I could appreciate was the mise-en-scene.

Van Helsing
I finally got to see "Van Helsing" last night, and I honestly don't know what to think. There was stuff I liked, and there was stuff I didn't like... I might have to say that this is my least favorite Hugh Jackman film.
Stephen Sommers has come a long way since his "Huck Finn" years, and I think he's become a little to fond of CGI effects. Now, you would expect effects from a movie such as this, but at some times I felt they were overdone.
Anyways, I don't expect people to like it to be honest. I went to that movie expecting it to suck major quantities of ass, and therefore got better than I expected.
I've always had problems with movies where stuff mainly happen in the dark. This movie uses mostly gray and dark gray tones, and I can't really remember anything brighter than that.
I liked the premise of the movie, and the idea behind it, I just don't feel like they realized it as well as they could. It's good as a homage to the old movies, but I'm not sure it does them justice.
Hugh Jackman delivered a great performance, as always.
I really liked David Wenham's character, just things he said and did. He's comic relief and good at it.
Kate Beckinsale... seriously... she does good, but I don't really see the point in her character being a woman other than being a love interest for Van Helsing, and saying "Oh, my God" as often as possible.
Richard Roxburgh, I'm not really sure what to think of him as Dracula, I had a hard time buying it to be honest.
In some ways this movie reminds me of "LXG", but the difference is that "Van Helsing" will probably end up in my DVD collection. Basically because of Hugh Jackman and David Wenham, and the fact that there were some sequences I liked, and some of the dialog was good.
The character of Van Helsing has quite a few things in common with Wolverine, which is probably another reason why I'll end up buying it.
If you're able to enjoy a movie just because of one actor, you probably will like it, I had two actors to keep me occupied, so I got into it.
Tell me what you think, because I'm still not a hundred percent sure. The jury inside my head is hung on this one.
