What I Watched -- A Single Man

I love Colin Firth, and have for a long time.  He's a great actor.  I also like Julianne Moore.  I liked them together in A Single Man, but I still didn't really like the movie.  I wanted to, but it was just too dull.  They were both good in it, but I apparently am unsympathetic to the plight of a closeted gay man in California in the 1960s.

So boo on me for that.

Bottom line: if you want to watch something mostly tragic, a little bit redeeming, enjoy Julianne Moore's big hair and some retro mod furniture, and want to feel a bit sorry about life in general, go for it.  Otherwise, throw yourself a dinner party and get on with life.

  1. It was rather dreary. And would've come close to a "fail" in the watchable movie category if not for Julianne Moore's big hair and the retro furnishings.
