turbo tim, i think perhaps you need an interest in cuban/latin music to really enjoy beuna vista social club, did you know what the film was about before you went to see it? abit like going to see saving private ryan and hating war films...ya dig?
Yes, I knew it was about Cuban music, but the reviews it received persuaded me to go. Quality film and all that, no doubt, but just not for me. Everyone else in my circle of friends loved it. Didn't like the music, didn't care about the old musicians, just not interesting to me.
Agree about Jim Carey, an incredibly unfunny man (Steve Martin likewise), although he redeemed himself somewhat in The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind when he was playing a straightish role. Good film.
Can't agree with others on Momento though. Excellent. Also thoroghly enjoyed Being John Malkovich. Watched them both more than once.
