The Pelican Brief
February 20, 2008
I watched The Pelican Brief tonight. I had forgotten how good it is. The scene at the Riverwalk is really very suspenseful.
I’ve always really liked John Grisham’s books, so I guess it’s fitting that I’d like the movie versions of them. Perhaps tomorrow I’ll watch The Rainmaker, The Chamber, The Runaway Jury or start reading The Appeal.
There are couple of things I really don’t like about the movie, however. First, the way that the piano is used during the suspenseful moments is pretty annoying and overpowering. Having an original score of some sort would have been a whole lot better. Second, they need to remake the DVDs for the movie so that it’s not split up onto two different sides of the DVD. To have to eject the DVD and flip it over in the middle of the movie is just ridiculous.
