My absence is explained by the first couple of lines of the review, but I'm back in the saddle now, having really enjoyed Nic's performance in Joe. I don't know if you'll agree with me on everything (I rather over-simplified the issue of the interiority (or intentional lack thereof) Nic brings to acting since I think that often he does bring a real depth of emotions to characters, but I suspect there come more from Nic channelling his emotions, rather than - say - imagining the inner-life of a character. It's a tricky issue though and I still haven't quite worked it out!
Anyway, generally I enjoyed the film.
Here is my review... it's probably provocative as always! XD
Hello Sprocket, and a NICtastic back! Really NICe to see you again, after a pretty while! There were a few changes around here! The admins have changed! The fairie queen handed over the keys to Meg and me, a while ago!
Your review is brilliant as always! Thanks you for writing it! As I haven`t watched it yet, and still have to wait till 23 October, till I can watch it myself, so it was a great help for me, so that I could caught a little glimps of it! Hope, you will stop by more often now? We missed you and your NICtastic comments!
