The Constant Gardener

The Constant Gardener is very, very good. This film oozes mystery and love, a 'James Bond' for an audience after more than just sex and explosions. Although it has the same basic theme as certain other movies, such as 'Lord of War' and 'Blood Diamond' it manages to get the message across without being preachy or disturbing the story that it is trying to tell. Personally, I am glad that I have seen this film.

Rating: A

The Last Kiss

Pretty decent story and the script itself is top notch, but Zach Braff, an actor whom I normally enjoy (thanks Scrubs) is unconvincing and at times even quite wooden. Like I said though, the script is good and the way the stories of the four friends mesh together does make for an otherwise enjoyable film.

Rating: C
