Mini-Review: For me, this is the best Scorsese since Kundun. Actually, it's his only film I liked since Kundun. But I have to say that it was totally predictable, even before I got in the theatre. And the ending wasn't really satisfying.

Mini-Review: The only real movie moment comes at the test screening with Cotillard, the only real good song (and performance) is "Take It All"... So, I think it's safe to say that Marion Cotillard is the best thing in this film... Kate Hudson's character is totally useless. A bit more focus on the relationship between Day-Lewis and Cotillard instead could've actually make this film work.

Mini-Review: Surprisingly close to the ways of classic horror literature, but still uninteresting and cliché-driven. I'm pretty sure that the CGI supported make-up job won't be nominated for an Oscar next year. Elfman's score had some moments of clear reference to Wojciech Kilar's Dracula score. But in the end, it's really Emily Blunt who saves this from being a complete waste of time.
