From Hell..
Sep. 1st, 2003 01:03 pmI'm watching Brimstone as I work on the bookshelves. I love it. And oooh that John Glover.
Appropriately, before I started watching Brimstone while working, I watched From Hell: the movie where Johnny Depp is on the trail of Jack the Ripper.
I cannot believe how beautiful Johnny Depp is in this.
Now, I prefer him as the wild and funny Jack Sparrow, but here is is intense, tormented and sad. What a serious movie. I liked it; I liked it a lot; I liked all the actors (Ian Holm, Robbie Coltrane, Heather Graham). I liked the theme. I loved the plot: it has several good twists. Most versions of Jack the Ripper movies bore me, but I watch them if they have good stars, like Samuel West.
