Dreadfully Dry =[

Rating: 5/10 (15 December 2016)

I am so sad to say this, as I loved the book so very much, but I've had a hard time getting through this movie. I watched it again for film class, in what is probably my third or forth time, and I just find it way too dry for my liking. Gregory Peck, as in all things, is phenomenal. Nonetheless, he carries the film all by himself. The camera work is good, and there are some notable scenes where it's put to good use for effects of suspense, intrigue and sadness. One of my favorite scenes is the opening sequence! I love all the old toys and trinkets that came out of the junk-drawer! It feels like a damn long movie that just cant get off the ground, and I wish we could get Mr Peck back, and do it all over again, with better editing, better actors, and perhaps an original score to really draw in the audience! =[ Sorry all, if this offends anyone.
