Watched a weird arse movie last night…. The Ten. Don’t think it ever came out in the cinemas that I can remember…. might have snuck through with a few sessions at the Dendy or the Schonell or something but I don’t remember seeing it at the mainstream cinemas.
Still not quite sure what to make of it. There was a phenomenal cast – Paul Rudd, Winona Ryder, Adam Brody, Gretch Mol, Oliver Platt, Famke Janssen, Ken Marino, Rob Corddry, Liev Schreiber. It is based around ten little short stories each loosely connected to one of the ten commandments. Some of the characters reappear in more than one segment in a way that has you thinking … ‘where is this going?’ and ‘how are they going to tie this all in together?’. Taken independently the scenes are positively absurd which I found hilarious. Well I thought it was funny… not sure it would appeal to everyone’s sense of humour (given that I’m generally known for being humourless).
Worth checking out if you’re up for something that isn’t typical cookie cutter Hollywood crap.
