Movie Reviews of The Sleeping Dictionary
Movie Review: A sensual experience!
Summary: 4 Stars
The love story between an English colonial & an Iban girl set in the beautiful jungle was unlike any other love story I've seen. The movie was not only rich in romance & passion, but also very artistic in settings & different. Beautiful scenery, you'll love it. "Sleeping Dictionary" Jessica Alba was terrific! Also, it helped me understand much more about another tradition - the Iban, set in around 1930, which was so interesting. Again, faith can lead you to a destiny you've never thought you would come to. Love is powerful!
Rent it or buy it and enjoy this movie for a romantic weekend!!
Movie Review: How not to make the same mistakes your parents did
Summary: 4 Stars
That's really what the movie is all about. It's a love story that could have turned out just like any "star-crossed lovers" saga. Instead the storywriter chose to let the lovers ... not just Jessica and Hugh...but also Emily Mortimer, who plays Hugh's wife ... NOT make the same mistake their parents did. They all chose love over duty and yet they were very human and flawed as they went through the process of making that final choice. It is a well-acted story, generally, with the characters being much more complex than at first thought. I believe the story itself is the real star here.Movie Review: Sarawak remembered
Summary: 4 Stars
I saw this film because it was filmed in Malaysia. I expected it to be about events on the Maylay Peninsula,but it wasn't. Most Westerners are unfamiliar with the geography of this country.I visited Malaysia in 2001. I immediately reconized the province of Sarawak in Northern Borneo. The events and life style are true to life for the area.The story is one performed many times, and this rendition is adequate. I was definitely taken back to the forest of Borneo and the Iban longhouse.Movie Review: MUST SEE 4 Jessica Alba Fans!
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie is alright. It gets you involved in the storyline and makes you become aware of the exotic time and place. Jessica Alba was SUPERB. Mastering the language and blending into the Sarawak village; she can act! This is a must see for Jessica Alba fans. Maybe a lot for the guys to see a little somethin' somethin', but also for the girls to get lost in the love story between Jessica and Hugh Dancy.Movie Review: The Sleeping Dictionary
Summary: 4 Stars
For some reason this title is not very well known. I went to the video store and asked for this title and they had no clue of what I was talking about. That would make this film a very good kept secret. I enjoyed the movie throughly. The story line was brilliant as was Jessica Alba's acting. Alba makes her part in the film very believable.
