THE RUM DIARY

October 7th, 2011

THE RUM DIARY- 2011. Synopsis by Netflix. “Eager to flee his humdrum life in 1950s New York, booze-loving journalist Paul (Johnny Depp) moves to Puerto Rico and begins writing for a local rag, but his life becomes unhinged when he falls for a gorgeous woman (Amber Heard) and clashes with her shifty fiancĂ© (Aaron Eckhart). Written and directed by Bruce Robinson, this adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson’s early novel also stars Richard Jenkins as Paul’s editor.”

10/28/11- Barely OK review in today’s NY Times. TRDB.

3/5/12- Most reviews were bad but not as bad as the movie. I turned it off. What was Johnny Depp thinking? TRDB. Netflix.
