Movies: The Rum Diary

Firstly, I must say that I adore my school. This movie doesn't come out until Friday and yet I got to watch it FOR FREE on TUESDAY. Gah, you spoil me. Okay, so the movie! 



American journalist Paul Kemp (Johnny Depp) takes on a freelance job in Puerto Rico for a local newspaper during the 1950s. And let me tell you the scenery and landscape is so beautiful! It really makes you miss those summer days. Anyways, Depp's character struggles to find a balance between island culture and the expatriates who live there. At this time, Puerto Rico belong to America and thus the wealthy are Americans and they exploit the island and the people. Depp exposes himself to both worlds and decides that he wants to reveal the actual lifestyles of the Puerto Ricans. But can he achieve this with all the booze around him??


Simply, it's basically Johnny Depp getting drunk and high and then occasionally being a journalist. It really is hilarious - you will laugh, you will, you will, you will! 


And oh, Johnny Depp still has it. That dreamy and charismatic look and talk. Oh Johnny!! But the beauty of the screen goes to Amber Heard (right). The former Bunny from The Playboy Club, stuns audiences with her gorgeous face and sex appeal. This era definitely works for her. I hope we get to see her in more challenging roles :)

Love,
ALPHA
