So, Cannes is finally over and it was pretty underwhelming overall as expected. Wall Street 2 and Woody Allen's "You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger" as well as "Robin Hood" premiered to some underwhelming reviews. Although they say Wall Street 2 was a hit with American critics. Other that, some other movies that were the talk of the town included Mike Leigh's "Another Year" which was a critical favorite, "Biutiful" had a mixed reaction but high praise for Javier Bardem, and Carlos Assaya's "Carlos" was similar to Soderbergh's "Che" in that most critics praised the epic scope of the movie but felt overall it was pretty uneven. I haven't even been able to watch "Che"... don't have the time... I don't know when I'll be able to watch "Carlos"... but other than that, there wasn't anything that was rocked Cannes except for the winners listed above.
