Wanting To Like Water

I start watching a number of movies I never finish. If the movie is boring or just plain awful, I'll bail. You never read my reviews of these movies because I don't review the flicks I don't finish.

Deepa Mehta's "Water" has been nominated for best foreign-language film. It's the first time a non-French Canadian movie has received such a nomination. Many a critic has praised "Water", and when it came to TMN last year, I wanted to like it. I'll bet you know where this sad tale is headed.

It bored me to tears. I couldn't take it any longer and stopped watching. This was a critically acclaimed Canadian movie but I couldn't sit through it.

I also couldn't get through "Mr. & Mrs. Smith", "Are We There Yet?" and "Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life". There are many others, but I've successfully blocked out the bad memories.
