I finally saw August Rush!!! (some spoilers)
I bought some stuff online recently which included the August Rush DVD. It took a loooooooong time for it to get here, but I finally received the package a couple of days ago, and I just finished watching the movie a few minutes ago.
I'm lazy to put it under a cut, so read at your own risk if you haven't seen August Rush before. :P
IT. WAS. BEAUTIFUL. I loves it very much.
Being the sap that I am, I was nearly tearing up throughout most of the movie, and finally I just lost it and started crying during the final scenes of the orchestra concert.
Why, hello there, Alex O'Loughlin. Obviously I'm not familiar with Irish accents (except that they can be quite difficult to understand), but I thought that he managed to fake an Irish accent quite convincingly. I find it quite amusing that they always seem to replace "me" with "my". LOL.
William Sadler didn't have nearly enough scenes. So did Terrence Howard. He didn't have much to do in the movie, but he was great in all his scenes. :)
The little girl who played Hope was absolutely adorable. She had the best expressions, like when August/Evan was talking to her while she was playing the piano, she had this look like, "O-kay, this boy is nuts"; and when she came back from school and found her room plastered wall-to-wall with sheet music composed by August/Evan. She freaked out and yelled, "REVEREND J.!!!" LMAO.
Reverend J. (James) was played by Mykelti Williamson (Chief Sinclair), btw.
Jonathan Rhys Meyers (♥ ♥ ♥) is awesome as always. It's refreshing to see him in a less intense role than he's used to playing. AND HIS SINGING, OMFG. I'll be first in line to buy his record if he ever puts out one, seriously. Man's got a pretty nice voice. And those eyes... *faints* They keeeel me.
Keri Russell was pretty good too, in those emotional scenes. My favorite Lyla scenes: 1) At the hospital when her father lied that her baby had died; 2) In the phone booth talking to her friend while it was raining.
And of course, Freddie Highmore. He is so cute. I hope he's still so cute by the time puberty is done with him. We all know what it does to some child stars. :P
Robin Williams was just freaky. A little OTT sometimes, but he wasn't in a lot of scenes so I was fine with that.
