It was just crazy, I caught 3 movies in 2 days. Capote, Walk The Line and The Constant Gardener, the last 2 of which I'm very glad to have caught before their run in the cinemas ended.

Capote was slow and draggy, I seriously advise against you watching it unless you're OK with slow, draggy arty-farty films and if you're a pretty big fan of Philip Seymour Hoffman.

By the way, on a sidenote, he will also be starring in the upcoming Mission Impossible 3.

I truly enjoyed Walk The Line. Maybe because I find dark, brooding characters like Joaquin Phoenix's attractive. I like it that someone has had a past, and maybe because deep down, I can relate to the messed-up character that is Johnny Cash. I like it that he is so perfectly imperfect. And I can't think of a better character to portray this than Joaquin Phoenix (even Johnny Depp would not have cut such a fine figure for this role), him with his slurred speech and crooked smile. And they both sing so damn fine, him and Reese Witherspoon.

I thought The Constant Gardener a mild disappointment. It was so signaturely Fernando Meirelles in the colour and cinematography, as well as the social themes involved (bordering on poverty and/or morality issues), but yet, it did not strike me as strongly nor as beautifully as his previous film, City of God. The colours seem that bit weaker, the cuts more hurried, less involvement on the part of the native African actors in the picture, less engaging a storyline, and less impressive a lead actor in Ralph Fiennes. In short, the impact of the movie was lost on me. That is not to say that it is not a film worth watching though. On its own, minus whatever pre-conceived notions and expectations that you may have, it is still a rather commendable effort to explore the theme of corporate corruption on disadvantaged third-world nations. But it just didn't really do it for me (maybe I was too tired to focus on the film, I do not know).

I still have 3 more films to catch - V for Vendetta, Transamerica and Crash.

I am hoping something will blow me away. None of it has yet.
