Re: my next ten
House of Sand and Fog got repeatedly severely hated on in OOT. There didn't seem to be much behind the protestations except general hate for the flick, but I was surprised it was so common. I wound up wondering if it was coming from religious types who don't like how the deaths were done in that movie. I found the movie really interesting, but found Kingsley a much stronger presence than Jennifer Connelly. In my mind he more than makes up for any shortcomings with Connelly, and the subject, types of personal interactions, and subtext are very unusual to see in films and very welcome.
