Strange

Rating: Null/10 (21 July 2002)

This wasn't my type movie, but after seeing JRM in Gormenghast for the first time ever I wanted to see more of his work, and now have seen nearly everything he's been in. My friends and family and especially my husband can't stand this actor whom I adore. I think he's a talented person. So far my favorite is his character in The Governess starring Minnie Driver. This Velvet Goldmine movie is too loosely based on David Bowie and I don't like that being that I was a teen when he was becoming famous. I was shocked by some of the scenes JRM and Ewan played in this film, but then I saw the movie Wilde and it makes Velvet Goldmine look like bubble gum. My family goes around telling everyone I rent gay porn now, and I get weird looks from hubby. How funny. I'll tell you what else is humorous-- I've read a lot of comments on this movie with people complaining JRM seemed icy and cold in this flick. Guess what folks that was his character. So I see he is the talented actor I thought after all. No. This wasn't my line of movies but I enjoyed the colors, music, and his acting. He is an elusive and mysterious character even in real life. That's why he is so intriguing....
