I watched Lost In Translation on Saturday night. It was alright. I would have expected a much cooler movie with the title. That is, the movie reflected the title loosley, and in a way that actually could have brought me to tears at the end, especially with Bill Murray (my secret crush in Ghostbusters) as the leading man. I love to watch Japanese culture in action, it entertains me to no end. I think I just wanted more out of the movie, but I can't describe exsactly what. Perhaps less talking, better cinamatography, and more symbolic shots filmed more slowly. But thats not very Hollywood is it? For a Hollywood hit, it was not too bad.
