Review: INKHEART (2009)

It’s the beginning of a new year and what better way to start it than by a movie review?! On the menu: INKHEART, starring Brendan Fraser, Andy Serkis, Eliza Bennett, Paul Bettany, Sienna Guillory, Helen Mirren, and Jim Broadbent.
Unfortunately, Inkheart didn’t live up to what it could have been. I read the script back when they were still in the process of casting it, and thought it was pretty good, but for some reason it didn’t translate too well on screen. Plus the fact that I was anticipating everything that was happening didn’t help.
Of all the problems the movie had, the mere fact that Mo’s (Brendan Fraser) daughter, Meggie, had a British accent when he is obviously an American, that just made no sense (and it was never made clear whether they were in England), that was already a bad start. And it just didn’t get that much better. Don’t [...]

Brendan Fraser’s INKHEART Movie Trailer (2009)

The trailer for Brendan Fraser’s new movie, INKHEART, was just released and it looks pretty good.
Inkheart is based on the book of the same name by Cornelia Funke. While I haven’t read the book, I did read the script for Inkheart about two years ago when it was still in development. I liked it enough to actually buy the book, which is a good sign, but I didn’t like the script as much as The Golden Compass, which could be a bad thing seeing how that turned out. I will say this in my defense, the reason I liked The Golden Compass script so much had a lot to do with the ending, which ended up being cut out.
Back to Inkheart, I am pretty impressed by the trailer and the cast, which in addition to Brendan Fraser includes Andy Serkis, Eliza Bennett, Paul Bettany, Sienna Guillory, Helen Mirren, Jim Broadbent.
Definitely [...]
