sixtyseven: vicky christina barcelona

i have started noticing a disturbing trend in modern day films. they do not have plots. or at least they don't have a storyline that keeps the viewer's interest. on friday, i saw vicky christina barcelona. i was interested to see it, as I have heard nothing but good things. i was sorely disappointed. the movie chronicles vicky (rebecca hall) and christina (scarlett johansson) and their summer in barcelona. of course, there is a handsome spaniard involved (javier bardem) and a neurotic ex-girlfriend thrown into the mix (penelope cruz). the problem i had with this movie was the same problem i had with rachel getting married - the characters were less than compelling and the plot was somewhat lacking. of course, both movies had great actors that performed well, i just wish they had put their energy into better films.
