Brrrrr! It's cold!

Rating: Null/10 (8 May 2004)

Few movies have had a tactile impact on me... Cold Mountain is one of them. When you plunk down your $23 dollars to go to the cinema, you expect to be entertained, but I was MORE than entertained by Cold Mountain. It started about 45 minutes into it, I could feel the light prickle of goose bumps on my forearm. Before I knew it, my whole body was numb and I was asking the stranger next to me if she had a jacket I could borrow. Cold Mountain was the coldest I've ever felt in a movie theater - hats off (or should I say "ski caps ON!!":)) to Anthony Hopkins and his marvelous crew of thespians. Renee Zelwegger's American accent WAS a little bit on the shaky side, but anyone who has seen DOWN WITH LOVE knows that this saucy little Brit can act. Bring tissue, but more importantly, bring a sweater - If you are ready to feel the chill, then head on over to Cold Mountain... where romance and intrigue are waiting for you.
