We watched Simone last night. It was really sad because it could have been a good movie but it wasn't. It had a good concept, good cast, but silly direction, and a silly script. And it could have been good.

It was written and directed by Andrew Niccol who wrote The Truman Show and wrote and directed Gattaca, both wonderful movies. It's a shame then that he came out with Simone. I'm hoping that it went bad due to studio influence or something. Whatever happens, I'm still willing to hold out for Niccol for a few more bombs.
