Silver City - Bright Young Things - The Forgotten

Three very different movies. I didn't like any of them.

Silver City is a political mystery mixed with comedy, and it has lots of big actors like Chris Cooper, Darryl Hannah, Richard Dreyfuss, Kris Kristofferson and Tim Roth to name some.
The movie is directed John Sayles who, pardon my ignorance, is supposed to be controversial. And apparently Silver City is controversial. Cooper plays a to be governor of Colorado who's kind of 'dumb', this being a joke on Bush it seems.

But the problem is that the movie is boring. REALLY boring.
Too many characters, and many of them have nothing to do but to bring up subplots that are not important. And the story moves slow. Not recommended.


Bright Young Things is a British dramedy set in the 1930s. Directed by Stephen Fry and starring Stephen Campbell Moore and Emily Mortimer with a supporting cast with the likes of Dan Aykroyd, Jim Broadbent and Stockard Channing.
The movie started good with young people dancing in rich people's parties, but then it started getting slower and slower, and after the first 30 minutes it got boring. I don't know what was I expecting from this movie but getting bored wasn't it for sure.


The Forgotten hasn't had much publicity, and it's plot, from the trailer, sounded good. A woman somehow gets all the memories from his dead son deleted from her mind, and now there's nothing to prove that she ever had that son. If she in fact did have him.
Is it something the government is doing? Or is it aliens? That last shot in the trailer with somebody being sucked from the skies suggest the latter.
And the movie does answer that question, but leaves many, many others unanswered.

The acting is regular from everybody, Anthony Edwards, Alfre Woodard, Gary Sinise and Dominic West are all ok. But star Julianne Moore is ok too. And I was expecting her to be great here so I could rescue something good from the movie. Which I didn't.

The plot doesn't make any sense at the end, and you'll leave the theatre angry at the movie and asking what the fuck just happened there. Very disappointing movie.
