Movie Review: Cold Mountain


Renée Zellweger won an Oscar for her amazing performance as Ruby Thewes. Jude Law deserved one as well. Whereas Nicole Kidman portrayal as Ada felt predictable. As did the whole plot.

Inevitable end to a tragic tale. War is hell not just for the fighters but the family left behind. Seems like they could have cut out a lot of the beginning and get to the meat of the story and more of Zellweger's character.

I'm glad I saw it, but could have not and still been fine.Look in Coos Bay,North Bend, Coquille, Bandon, Myrtle Point and Dora for the DVD and Lakeside for the VHS tape.
