If you only have the money for one movie right now, the one you'll want to see is The Constant Gardener. I'm serious. See it.

  2. I thought it sounded lame because Joseph Fiennes was on the poster pointing a gun and looking dramatic. But he never actually points a gun in the movie. So that was a total lie. And the movie was far more dramatic without the Bond-ish posing.

    Andrea, the movie is about human rights abuses in eastern Africa. Joseph Fiennes' (Mr. Quayle) wife is killed and he attempts to find the bandits who did it. It's very activist, very political, very truthful, somewhat unnerving, a lot tense, and overall entertaining. Sit at the back of the theatre though, if you don't want to get motionsick.
