After having seen Ringu, Battle Royale and Otogiriso I took an interest in Asian cinema, horror in particular. Both Ringu are great, Audition, however, is far far from the standard Ringu set for me.
The first 25 minutes it moves along in a pace so slow it would seem the intent is to put you to sleep. As the story begins to unfold, and you expect the film to do justice to its horror category, it falls flat on its bloody face and ventures into a near stomach-turning half-assed sado-orgy.
There is no suspense, thrills or excitement whatsoever. I was about to turn the bloody thing off several times but hoped it would pick up nearing the end. It didn't.
Save yourself two hours of your life. The score here at IMdb is overrated in extremo.
2/10.

Jim Carrey may be an overrated comedian/actor, but it's in parts like this one he's just plain superb. The first 45-60 minutes of Bruce Almighty is highly entertaining. Morgan Freeman may seem wholly out of place - and he is - but you'll still get a laugh out of it if you like Mr. Carrey.
Unfortunately, the last 30 minutes tend to degrade into a sloppy, sentimental hollywood-esque rubbish romantic comedy. The film loses most of it's glory when becomning too mainstream and cheasy.
Carrey's as well as Aniston's performances are faultless, I suppose, but the story, which is very interesting in itself, leaves you wanting something more. Not just that run-of-the-mill ending.
6 out of 10 in my booth.

This is not a movie for fans of the usual eerie Lynch stuff. Rather, it's for those who either appreciate a good story, or have grown tired of the run-of-the-mill stuff with overt sentimentalism and Oprah-ish "This is such a wonderful movie! You must see it!"-semantics (tho' she IS right, for once!).
The story unfolds flawlessly, and we are taken along a journey that, I believe, most of us will come to recognize at some time. A compassionate, existentialist journey where we make amends för our past when approaching ourt inevitable demise.
Acting is without faults, cinematography likewise (occasionally quite brilliant!), and the dialogue leaves out just enough for the viewer to grasp the details od the story.
A warm movie. Not excessively sentimental.
