Movie Moment: City of Ghosts
I failed to do my homework for Ghosts. I knew only that it was playing in an art theater that I like, and the setting was Cambodia.
The first hint I was in trouble came when the credits rolled: Matt Dillon not only starred and co-wrote, he directed. Naturally, my expectations automatically took a nosedive.
The movie surprassed those newly lowered expectations with the rich scenery of Cambodia, but the story was still lacking in a big way, with no clear reason it needed to be there.
Matt should really leave the writing to someone else.
