The Libertine

Year: 2004

Why'd I Watch It?: Johnny Depp. Also Jack Davenport.

What's It About?: The Earl of Rochester and all his debauchery.

What'd I Think?: Now did you really need to cast a whole bunch of people from Pirates of the Caribbean 2? Was in necessary to give John Malcovich that prosthetic nose and make Johnny Depp seem like a gi-normous douche? There was kind of a plot, but it was kinda lacking if it was supposed to be a love story of sorts between Depp and Samantha Morton (who was really great as was Rosamund Pike). If it was just about Johnny Depp poncing around and being a vulgar asshole, they did a good job. I did really like the sets, costuming, and cinematography.
