Title: THAT LEAN $ HUNGRY LOOK
Review: I'm sad to have to break the news to Guy Ritchie & Madonna, but this movie is an almost total bomb. It completely lacked the passion and the splendor of the original "Swept Away." The original leading actress, Mariangela Melato, had a full breasted curvaceous figure that exuded a deep womanly sensuality. Unlike the lean and hungry look of an aging starlet whose grasp on pop culture (a culture that once fully embraced her warped sense of aesthetics and her shallow philosophy of materialism and selfishness) is simply slipping away like sand through an hourglass.As for the direction, well, there's not much to praise. Let me just say that it was less than inspired. In fact, the word tepid is what comes to mind. The original was, of course, breathtaking and much more insightful and character driven. Seeing this exploration into the mediocre makes me long for the days when trivial pursuit was not a lifetime ambition.
