Watch Only to See Scarlet

Rating: 6/10 (30 April 2006)

Lost In Translation, definitely a fitting name. By the time the credits rolled I had lost interest. I kept hoping that something big would happen and it never really did, the story did take you very far, so it just was there... There were a few high points, though: Govanni Ribisi, a usually rough and tuff guy cleaned up to play Scarlett Johansson's hubby, the culture clash- USA vs. Japan made for some situational comedy played up by funny-man Bill Murray. And Scarlett Johansson's performance is very impressive for anyone less than 20 and in that role, making her rise to extreme stardom a sure bet. Just read a list of her movies and the people she has worked withfrom Rob Reford to Thora Birchher star friends alone are enough to give her major props. So definitely check out her other films, which will surprise many with the range of acting. Some people have just "discovered" her but she's been on my list of "make-it"s for a while. So congrates on your rise to household name, Scarlett, enjoy the long career to come.
