Reviews of "Possession" by The Four Bastards

Long John Silver's has the best "fish and chips" -- aarrgh!

Hot Chick: Gwyneth Paltrow

Hot Chick Factor: 10!

Synopsis -- An almost obscenely American (complete with scraggly beard),
whilst working as a research assistant for some old goofy professor in
London, happens upon some letters from this poet that lived in the mid-19th
century to his lady poet lover, who also happened to be a lesbian (nice
work).  In true pseudo-American fashion, he steals the letters from the
London library and meets up with Gwyneth, who is an expert on Dude's lesbian
lover, and is also a distant relation to her.  As they find out more about
their relationship, the begin to fall in love.... oh how sweet.  Their plans
are almost thwarted when an evil professor from New Mexico (WTF?) and his
Brit co-hort try to dig up a grave before American and Gwyneth can get to
it!  Wowsers!

Nate's review:

In all seriousness, this is actually a good movie.  Check that, this is actually a fucking great date movie.  My God that Gwyneth, yikes.  She makes me want to eat more popcorn.  Anyway, the cool thing about it is how the discoveries of the forbidden love that the two stinky people (movies set in this time period always make me think of how bad people used to stink, without bathing daily, without deordorant, and in the intensely rain-driven humidity of Britian-- pleasant) shared back in the day parallel the development of their own relationship.  The use of parallel editing, although pretty much a must in this type of story, was very well-done with lots of cool seamless transitions throughout.  This movie also made me realize what bastards the Euros can be sometimes.  Shit, don't put it past me to go over there and charm the hell out of some ladies!  Probably not though.  I still suck.  See it see it see it, with a date!  Then have stinky sex afterwards.

Rating: 46 out of 50 sticks of Degree Anti-Perspirant -- smells like baby powder
