Watched a couple recently.
Finding Neverland on DVD first. Jonnie Depp plays J.M. Barrie (the guy who wrote Peter Pan). It's just the story of him failing as a playwright, then having an affair (okay, it suggested he was doing it just for the family and it was all very much above board and all that, but we know the truth
), finding a new type of play from the games he played with the kids.
It was all a bit bland and sugary really. No idea why Depp was cast in it - possibly the only requirement was "looks good in a top hat". I love Depp, but he's a character actor, he excels in portraying over the top. Put him in a simple role and he is just utterly bland and forgettable. Maybe that makes him diverse and superb, but I think that perhaps he';s just crap at doing subtle.
If you want to see a heavily edited version of the story behind the guy who wrote Peter Pan, then I recommend it. Otherwise, I'd not bother.
Last night finally got around to watching
xXx on Blu-Ray. What a load of tosh. Utterly fantastic action scenes, looking a bit ropey nowadays, but just mindless tosh. Great fun, and I can imagine it being mind blowing at the cinema, but really dreadful in terms of writing, acting, etc.
