Vanity Fair
Reese Witherspoon stars as Becky Sharp, an orphan girl who aspires to improve her social status in London during the early 1800's. The film uses great sets and costumes to detail the lives of its characters in this period piece. So while the scenes look really authentic and paint a colorful world, the movie seems to ramble around and fails to provide characters that we really care about. Also while the film spans more than 30 years, Reese and company don't seem to age a day. But the film's most annoying moment comes in the form of a MTV-like music video dance sequence featuring Reese among Indian belly dancers. What was that all about? Maybe this just wasn't Alien's cup of tea.
Alien gives it 2 Reese's pieces stars out of 4.
