winterbadgerHollywood, original and creative as ever, has decided to remake Bella Martha, an excellent German film from 2001, as an English-language vehicle for Catherine Zeta-Jones.
Because, gosh, no one will see a movie in a FOREIGN LANGUAGE! Because GOD FORBID they come up with an original idea. Why not make an over-produced, corny, cutesy sexpiece extravaganza out of a sweet, beautiful, slightly sad, understated, gentle romantic film?
And I have to say, I've reached my limit of interest in CZ-J. Many of the male (and some of the female) members of my readership may be astonished at the idea of having enough of her, but IMO she's turned into the worst kind of star--one who is all about celebrity and not much about actually acting. Yes, she's very pretty and very sexy, but it's like that has been so highly polished that she's gone over the top, like a really good piece of cake that's been covered with so much buttercream frosting, glazed nuts, crystallised flowers, and chocolate-dipped berries and stuffed with so much jam, candied fruits, and liquer that no one could actually bear to eat it.
