Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Titanic (1997)

I've never been as in awe of this film as every other female who saw this in its theatrical run...I mean, I didn't swoon over the love story or go back to see it again and again.

I do like it, though. This was the third time I've seen it and it holds up in excitement value. It still boggles my mind, though, that Kate Winslet (who gives a somewhat stiff performance which lets slip her English accent every so often) and Gloria Stuart (who does merely an adequate job) got nominations while Leonardo DiCaprio and Kathy Bates, who were so naturally vibrant, were ignored.

B+
