4 Academy Awards, huh? Guess they/re not as valuable anymore.

Rating: Null/10 (16 July 2002)

The media loved this one. "Russel Crowe", "Serious Role", "Film as Art", they cried. He must have greased quite a few palms for this one! It was total drivel! Geoffery Rush delivered a much better performance of a tortured soul in "Shine". Crowe should stick with ACTION flicks. He tried with Melanie Griffith/Meg Ryan(always get those two talentless blondes confused) in the lame hostage negotiator film, While Hubby's Away" And why is the unsupportive spouse in movies about crazy geniuses is always a short-haired brunette? This movie was worse than "Rushmore" and Ed Harris would have been better off doing a commercial for Payless Shoes.
