In Bruges

Before I settled in to spend a harrowing two hours in a theater watching the overrated catastrophe "Juno," I saw a preview for "In Bruges." A friend next to me leaned over and said she hoped the film we were about to see would be better. At the end of "Juno," she was relieved it had been better. But for me, the preview of "In Bruges" was the best part of watching "Juno." It's funny and sweet and odd, and even though the ending doesn't quite do it for me, I would still recommend it. "In Bruges" also shows that Colin Farrell has found his niche, giving his own spin to every line he delivers, like, "If I'd grown up on a farm and was retarded, Bruges might impress me. But I didn't, so it doesn't." He's great.
