movie review - Cruel Intentions

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 1999.08.28

This one was better than I expected, but I expected I'd walk out. It's about a pack of wealthy brats drifting around various expensive New York homes, screwing each other. The plot is reasonably entertaining, but the characters seem secondary to the preening of the actors. Pah. One star.

Not recommended.

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, worry about the future, or anticipate troubles but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.
