![]() COLOR ME KUBRICK $13.49 Never wanted it to end. The peripheral characters are wonderful - the gullible and the not-so-gullible. It's amazing that this sociopath was able to get away with impersonating the great director for so long. Whatever - mostly, it's a hilarious comedy in which Malkovich (as one reviewer put it snidely, but for me was what made it great) really chews the scenery. The costumes are brilliant - the posing, the accents (different for every con) - it all made me howl with laughter. You could say this film is a "guilty pleasure" since you know what he's doing to people is bad, bad, bad, but you can't help wanting more, more, more. In the end, the imposter went unpunished, and died of "natural" causes. That's a little hard to swallow. One wanted him to get his legal comeuppance. Anyway, it's hard to find truly wicked, witty, funny comedies these days, and this is one of them. (Another is "Death At A Funeral." If you liked that, you'll probably like this one.) ![]() COLOR ME KUBRICK $2.99 Never wanted it to end. The peripheral characters are wonderful - the gullible and the not-so-gullible.
