<< Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil 1997 *
I never dug it. Too long and and drawn out. Even with John Cusack, it just didn't do it for me.

I actually thought it was kind of drawn out too, but that didn't make it a bad movie. All the performances were great and the imagery was amazing, lots of colors and great looking shots. And even after watching it all the way through, I thought that the end result was worth it, making it a good movie. Not one of my favorites, but nonetheless a good flick.
And as for The Shipping News, I haven't seen it, but I have heard it is quite good, just more dramatic and based off actors' performances rather than action and "fun."
