Last Seen 70s/80s Movie

[BookZombie]

As far from a horror movie as it gets, but me and hubby watched Dr Strange last night. It is a cartoon. I include it here because it do have monsters, and some of them rather gruesome, and for a cartoon it was rather dark. Anyway I will take monsters and magick no matter if it was intended to scare me or not. It was a good movie.

"Sucker Punch" 6/10

Visually a 10. But the story as well as direction left much to be desired.

Most of the story was actually in the intro. The rest of the movie was just repetitive to the point where it became dull. I even managed to fall asleep during one of the many shooting scenes.

Battle Royale: Special Edition: I finally got around to watching this. Honestly I'm not quite sure why this movie is rated so highly. It's good, but way, way, way too fricking long. About half way through I started looking at my clock. It's an interesting enough story and the acting is fine, but it just drags way too much for my liking. Plus there's just so many kids involved that I really didn't care for the majority of them, making their deaths pretty pointless and time consuming.

Tony:London Serial Killer (2009) At first I thought what is the point of this film but then I saw a documentary about it which explained things for me. It is very gritty and shows the grimness of life without meaning or purpose but I don't know if I would recommend it or not an odd film nonetheless.

The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada (2005). The opening credits/scene pretty much guarantee that this is going to be a great movie, which is lucky because things get confusing rather quickly. This film feels real because its characters are so perfectly imperfect. It also makes a strong statement about humanity without ever feeling preachy. It instead lets the audience come to its own conclusion.

The story is complex without being unrealistic. Though it does become ostensibly discombobulated, patience will serve its audience well and all questions and confusions are answered with aplomb. This is a story about the boredom that is bred in a boring town and the complexities that develop by its bored citizens. Of course it is one of these bored characters that instigates the drama to follow, but all of our various players contribute in their own unique and problematic ways. This is definitely a character driven drama, but these characters, whether vain shallow or complex, are all developed with their depth of character in mind whilst amazingly coming off as being as real as can be. We deplore their shenanigans but concurrently understand their plight. It is also a story whose denouement seems easily guessed but becomes perfectly bent just when we think we've got it all figured out. And lastly, as the story unfolds, we are privy to the personal revelations that our characters must undertake, but how these revelations play out is subtle, and therefore marvelous, in application.

The acting was incredible. With multiple characters with their own demons to convey, they all accomplish their roles with aplomb. Tommy Lee Jones was absolutely amazing in his role of a man on the edge of insanity, and we can almost feel his arms swinging wildly as he tries to keep from falling off. Barry Pepper is just as solid in a role that brings unimaginable depth to what seems a shallow man. Dwight Yoakam is delightful as the cop we want to hate but whose comedic shortcomings only serve to draw us in.

With Tommy Lee also behind the camera in his cinematic debut, and with such a complex story, The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada seems an overambitious project that will prove rife with problems. But Tommy rises to the challenge and has created a movie worthy of the term movie magic. The photography wisely took full advantage of its environs in such a way that these people's stupid mistakes seem all the more believable in such a barren land. The score was just right, always there in full support of the scene. The editing was complex but ultimately sublime.

At this wonderful modern western's conclusion, even when are fully satisfied with our 121 minute investment, that last bit of dialog fully revels in the moment of personal revelation that this character has undertaken.

Really enjoyed this. It was pretty much as I expected so had some good twists and the bits slagging off remakes/rebootswas funny..




Very strange and a bit too disjoined for me but there were some fantastic bits and it ended on a really strong note..



Just as amazing as always. C Thomas Howell steals the show as the best Wolverine and its great to see Ron O'Neil and William Smith too...Makes me pround to be American..

There was nothing good on TV last night, so I watched the first half of Storm of the Century.
