Movie Review: Acting Sans Botox

"Venus"



Sadly, we have reached a point in our society where an altered physical reality has been deemed as normal. Women without lines on their forehead, men without jowls, and young women with boob implants that make them appear as moving mastheads on old clipper ships. Ahoy, matey, watch out for those wooden knockers, but don't expect her to laugh... her face is paralyzed from the botox!

"Venus," starring Peter O'Toole, newcomer Jodie Whitaker, veterans Leslie Phillips, Vanessa Redgrave and Richard Griffths is one of those movies that grows on you once the credits are done. Quickly paced, sharply written and deftly acted, "Venus” unfolds so quickly that one is immersed in the action from the very start.
