I saw the most amazing movie tonight!! Roman Polanski, now under house arrest in Switzerland, can really make a movie. I have been trying to avoid him for years, but I feel better since he got busted in Switzerland. So I went to Ghost Writer, and it was amazing - it was suspenseful and well acted and beautifully filmed - really a gorgeous movie.
This is a wonderful thriller - and a good thriller is so much fun to find. I would like to contrast this to Shutter Island for a second. Ghost Writer also had a boatload of stars in it, but they weren't distracting. They had an honest purpose and didn't feel like they were plopped in to have more stars in the picture. The music in Ghostwriter is beautiful and increases the tension of the movie - Shutter Island's music was a melodramatic mess. And the list goes on.
Go see Ghost Writer - it rocks. Pierce Brosnan is getting better with age.
