Lost in Translation
I hope there isn't a thread for this already. Anyway, I thought it was a pretty enjoyable movie. Bill Murray seems to have found a niche in playing a morose and almost soulless man. His character, Bob Harris, is basically the same guy from Rushmore and The Royal Tennenbaums. I like this though because his brand of humor is hard to find amongst Bruce Almighty crap. The story is set in Tokyo and focuses on the parallel lives of Bob and a woman, Charlotte, who is tagging along with her photographer husband on assignment. Niether of them is in love with his/her spouse but they manage to have a platonic week of fun in Japan. It's more dark comedy than romance which is probably why I like it. In other words, if you didn't hate Rushmore then I recommend seeing it.
