Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

My wife and kids loved it - I fell asleep through part of it.

 

I am a big fan of the Gene Wilder version ao maybe that was it. I just thought there were some areas lacking in how Charlie wins. I did like the dry humor quite a bit though.

 

75/100 from me

85/100 from my family

I'm with you on this one, Soul. ...I didn't fall asleep, but I just don't feel it stacks up to Mr. Wilder.

 

Just finished reading his so-called "autobiography", "Kiss me Like a Stranger". It was a really interesting read for somebody who's also into acting and that lifestyle. If not, some parts may be a little bland, but the personal stories are all written really warmly, and it comes off with every bit of Gene's charm. The man really is a warm and touching genious. One of my all-time favourites, and still one of the people I use as a measuring stick and mentor, every time I'm on-stage.
