You know how some movies you can watch half an hour of 4000 times on TNT? I’m talking about the BACK TO THE FUTURES, the SHAWSHANKS, the TOP GUNS, the PRINCESS BRIDES. Then there are movies you really really like, but definitely follow the Law of Diminishing Returns.
When I first saw PLEASANTVILLE I was so pleased. A bit heavy-handed at the end, but such a delightful film, with a great message, and wonderful performances. Even the look was fresh and original. Now when I come by it I notice all the flaws. The preachiness makes me roll my eyes. Bud is impossibly good, and becomes boring. Even the colors no longer excite me. Does anyone else have this problem with PLEASANTVILLE or any other movie?
