Lips and Nostrils

Rating: 7/10 (8 December 2004)

"Alexander" is a decent movie that does indeed suffer from a few flaws. As much as I love Anthony Hopkins, we could have done without that whole scenario. That left-handed guy transcribing his every word:cutting room floor material, Mr. Stone. A lot of scars in this movie. When the movie was over, I went to the restroom, caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror, and thought, "hey good-lookin'." A lot of one-eyed fellas in this flick. I do think that Colin Farell's nostrils should receive some sort of recognition from the Academy. Maybe his left nostril could be nominated for best supporting nostril, or his right one, or vice versa. They both seemed to play off of each other quite well. The same goes for Ms. Jolie's lips, which reached new levels of depth. But, when all was said and done, I left the theater entertained. Will I remember this movie three days from now? Of course not. Will I try to think before I flare? You betcha.'
