The Ghost Writer

Watched Ghost Writer this weekend. I never really heard much press about it.

I really enjoyed it. It was probably one of the best movies I have seen this year which probably doesn't say too much since movies have kind of sucked this year.

Anyways, the twist at the end wasn't mind blowing or anything, but the movie had me engaged and curious as to the outcome the entire time. It took a few turns which were different than what I predicted. Kim Cattral didnt annoy me like I thought she would, and I thought Olivia Williams was very good.

Suspense movies tend to be my favorites, and while this wasn't a great one, I would definitely recommend people seeing it.

The whole concept of getting lectured about international justice for over two hours by a pedophile fugitive is laughable. This movie is nothing more than left wing propaganda, trying to turn the heroes in the war on terrorism into villains. The plot is tiresome and predictable.

So any fictional story about anything that has to do with politics MUST be propaganda.

Anyway, I watched this the other night. It's very good. But I disagree with an earlier post about Kim Cattrall. I usually like her, but I found her to be the weak link in this cast. Her British accent was a disaster.
