Movie Reviews of The Sleeping Dictionary
Movie Review: Woman as God intended her!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is basicly a "tale as old as time". An uptight, well bred, colonial officer is sent out to a colony, meets a beautiful local girl, falls in love, has some kind of conflict, and ends up giving up everything for love.If your looking for a well written script and creative plotline, look elsewhere. There is nothing in the plot that sets it apart from the myriad of similar offerings. The only people who will find the storyline compelling are hardcore romance fans.
However, one thing that does set this movie apart is its title character. Jessica Marie Alba is one of the most beautiful, stunning, graceful, alluring, and captivating women to have ever graced this planet, let alone the screen. Her mere presence glues your eyes to the screen. Sadly it would appear that a body double was used for the natural scenes, as her face is never shown in any of the shots. However, in a less satisfying way mind you, her choice helps to heighten ones imagination, as there is no doubt that she is undressed while filming some of the scenes. In the end, unless one is fond of body doubles, we are left to enjoy 60 or so minutes of her gorgeous smile, sultry lips,and lithe body with some bonuses thrown in. More than enough reason to check out this movie if you ask me.
One last note, anyone else think that she should have been cast as the heroine in Daredevil?
Movie Review: The Sleeping Dictionary is breath-taking
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was an unexpected delight. I took my kids to see "Ella Enchanted" and found the prince to be played by Hugh Dancy. Not knowing who he was at the time, I decided to go to the local video store and looking in their big book of movies/actors discovered that he was not only in "BlackHawk Down," but he was in "The Sleeping Dictionary." I ended up watching the movie three times in one week (once with my husband)! The film's setting was amazing, with lush tropical jungles and rivers. The plot was adventureous and playful. The main characters were engaging and fun to watch. There was great physical and emotional chemistry between the two main characters, so the love scenes were sweet and touching.
I have been recommending this film to my friends and co-workers. For me "The Sleeping Dictionary" is a sleeper that turned into a definate keeper! I will definately be looking for more films with Hugh Dancy! I love that playful and devilish smile!
Movie Review: Very romantic! Hugh Dancy is great!
Summary: 5 Stars
Just watched this movie not long ago. I love it! Very romantic with beautiful sceneries and beautiful actors! I was so attracted to Hugh Dancy after watching this. Not only was he extremely handsome, charismatic, but also a great actor! Jessica Alba is very beautiful too. Both Dancy and Alba have great chemistry. The 2 reminded me of the characters, Princess Adrienne & handsome thief, Philip Chamberlain, from romantic the novel "Sweet Revenge" (you people gotta read this book! It's fabulous!) by famous author Nora Roberts. Dancy & Alba fits the role 100% if this novel ever being make into a movie. Anyway, back to the movie. For those who loves Romance movies with beautiful actors/actresses, this is a MUST watch for you. Girls will be stunned by Dancy's charisma & guys will fall head over heels for Alba.Movie Review: Selima, the Dark Angel
Summary: 5 Stars
With breathtaking cinematography and lush backdrops, the Sleeping Dictionary is a movie for romantics and kick ... Dark Angel fans alike. Jessica Alba's facial expressions speak for themselves alone, but when she opens her mouth it's like Malaysia meets LA ghetto street talk. Hugh Dancy is absolutely yummy with his school boy turned lover boy attitude. I would like to watch "Black Hawk Down" again just to see Dancy in another role. The two have excellent chemistry together and it's hard to take your eyes off of them. I highly recommend this movie to anyone who needs a "love conquers all" night. Some extra "on the scenes" footage would have been great due to the fact that the movie was shot in Malaysia. Rent it, watch it, enjoy it. ...Movie Review: Very Good Love Story
Summary: 5 Stars
I had never heard of this movie and my mother had bought it a couple of months back, she told me to watch it because it was good. Normally I don't agree with her choices of movies, and I'm not that fond of love stories but since it had Jessica Alba in it I gave it a chance. Needless to say I was really pleased with it. The setting drew me in, it was beautiful. The story line was written extremely well for a direct to DVD movie and the acting supurb. While watching it I went through all the emotions, happy, angry, sad, then happy again. If you haven't watched it please do you will not be disappointed.
