The Divide
http://i1101.photobucket.com/albums/..._V1_SY317_.jpg I liked it but it was really over the top, especially Josh and Bobby's ridiculous behavior. I enjoyed that it became more about the cabin fever then the apocalypse going on outside but honestly in reality i don't think things would get that insane. A few more thoughts... SPOILERS I didn't like that Eva sacrificed Mickey to get away. Sam i understand, he was a coward and an idiot. But Mickey's worst crime was holding out food on them and considering they were all a bunch of lunatics i understand that. Mickey trusted Eva telling her where the gun was and even how to get out. Sure he could've been doing that for his own safety but still he wasnt a bad guy. He was a sad tortured man who lost his wife and daughter in 9-11 (I'm speculating since it wasn't outright said) and there was no real need to let him die. I get that her trust was pretty well shot by that point but Mickey was the only one i liked. That final shot was really harrowing. She gets through all that only to discover that the world is gone and there's nowhere to go. END OF SPOILERS |

The Last Broadcast (1998) Found the first half of this mockumentary to be almost unwatchable due to the pathetic performances of the "non actors". But what kept me watching was this underrcurrent of dread and the surreal side of technology.
It is extremely effective at slowly building up the mystery and kept me guessing right up to the end. The atmosphere created and the suspense is the kind that truly absorbs the viewer without them feeling manipulated or scratching their heads after it finishes (it makes sense and quite shocking at how possible it is). It is thought provoking in a way that gets the viewer thinking of larger questions that stay with you after you've seen the end. Overall its rare that a film can be genuinely original (this came out before The Blair Witch Project which unfortunately stole its thunder) and surprising in how brave it is for broadening the mind of the viewer and taking you to such a dark place. Despite a pretty lame start it is definitely worth sticking with. Highly recommended. Essential viewing. |

I like the way how they leave only hints about the farmer and his two sons (?) and what could possibly be the secret behind the scarecrows. And that whole sequence of the robbers getting offed and coming back, behaving perfectly normally. Specially the one at the end. Good stuff. Promising film. They could have polished off the edges and gave it a better ending (the plane exploding and the debris falling near the fields, giving rise to more scarecrows, a chilling end) and it could have been a gem of a film. As it is, it's pretty good by itself IMO. ***** END OF POSSIBLE SPOILERS ***** ---------------------------------------- http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg Excellent. The cinematography at times is distinctly Hammer-esque, though it was made by the Cannon guys. Really loved this one, specially the nostalgic 80s background score (so reminiscent of The Wraith, Street Hawk, etc.). Going to be one of my guilty pleasures (specially because of that superb Elisabeth Shue bathroom scene...mmmmm...) * * * |
I need to see LINK asap. It's always great to realize there's still plenty of great films left to watch.:)
