Fur - An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus

February 8, 2010 - 10:07 am No Comments

Fur - An Imaginary Portrait of Diane Arbus I’ve seen some weird movies in my time, but this is the strangest and not in the right direction. It is described as an imaginary portrait of the artist Diane Arbus.

What is the amount of imagination and true to her life I do not know. I only know a little about it, and had seen some of his photographs. If one believes in this “imagined life” then I would say she was not only strange, but positively crazy and Kinky.

The problem may be my sense of humor. They call me a philistine, and I do not think I’m going to give something back, when I say that both the bath and shaving scenes of hysterical laughter make me mourn.

I am sure that this is not what the director wanted. But if you have a sense of humor at all, probably should not watch this movie.

I do not know how the actors through it. I was on the floor.

Atonement

February 8, 2010 - 4:51 am No Comments

This was my first car and chosen by my wife. I was a little worried when the disc arrived and was badly scratched, but played flawlessly.

As for the movie, we both liked it once I could follow the plot - there are plenty of flash backs. If you are not sure, all is revealed in the last 10 minutes for the girl at the center, now a grown woman.

One thing I was not prepared for when the word was presented on the screen as my mother had to do with us and is a little (not much really) prude, but survived. Apart from that I recommend.

Ghost Of Mae Nak

What the hell was it about this movie? We expected much more horror and less cheese. The effects when people are ‘punished’ were ridiculous, and even a ‘horror‘ of a spirit that kills, were really crazy and totally exaggerated.

Apparently, it’s not just enough for ignition, needs to be beaten by cars and then fall on spikes. All ‘loves Mak Nak, Nak Mak love things’ made for a disgusting concept too. And that’s just having the same name as the ghost and her husband.

Oh Lord. Not worth worrying about.

Highwaymen

I thought about throwing my pennies on in this film. It is an hour and fifteen minutes long - not just “filler” feeling some movies have, so do not take his whole night if not to their liking. For me - I enjoyed it.

It’s a bit disturbing at times is a bit tacky, and yes, the plot has a lot of holes Highwaymen in it (not too long I think of these - for example, why a “desk job” accident investigator participate on their own?), but “accidents” are very impressive (if you’ll pardon the pun) and godsend to have seen last night, felt like a breath of fresh air.

Seen all the movies of the time, and then give it a spin! But do not blame me if I do not.

Planet Terror

February 7, 2010 - 7:58 pm No Comments

For us it was the second of the Grind-double house of Rodriguez and Tarantino, we really enjoyed the movie Death Proof and gave us an idea of what to expect here in this retro style horror Zombie. Pleasantly Planet Terror does not let you down, Rodriguez gets in this space, the story is classic in all aspects, acting, sets, dialogue and most of all the pure ridiculousness of many scenes! The story follows Wray (Freddy Rodriguez) and his ex-Cherry (Rose McGowan), as a group of local residents struggling to survive a zombie bio venture creation is released into the air.

The action is perfect for the style and genre, and the pace is fast and action-packed keeps you connected at all. Planet Terror is not even close to shock modern day terror, but contains a lot of blood and should appeal to a variety of potential viewers, however, I suspect that fans of the classic zombie movies will appreciate more! This film is full of stars, and includes cameos by Tarantino himself and Bruce Willis.

Filled with action, gore and a lot of zombie classic Crazy Fun. Nice 8 / 10. 4 Stars.

The Incredibles

I was not sure about this, but I thought it would be fun! As a result, kept us enthralled for 2 retirees all afternoon!

The animation is excellent and there were no doubt references to James Bond, Superman, Star Wars, Spiderman, etc. The colors were wonderful. A very pleasant way to spend a Friday night.

Only a minor carp on levels of sound - I had my hand permanently on the remote control as some of the scenes were very noisy, but others too quiet if the sound was turned down. Hopefully there will be some follow-up - Incredibles Incredibles II or new, etc.?

Superman Returns

February 7, 2010 - 4:23 am No Comments

Why this movie could have been, I fear that this movie full grabage a big disappointment. Why ……. Here are some observations WARNING: Spoliers before so do not read if you want to see movie 1) None of the crew ill Luther speak?

Is this an attempt to keep costs down? 2) Superman has now become a marriage of demolition stalker spying on Lois at home and work place 3) What was the smell that the sequence of finishing especially invlolving Kryptonite.

Superman kicked the rear by a brave old gentleman and his cronnies when hes standing on a piece of kryptonite, but then suddenly everything can break the Kryptonite island sea travel outside and return to orbit. Do not tell me cos I was a bit mad!

4) What is done in a hospital superman !!!!! Say no more! 5) Jimmy was a choice of poor quality and even their funny lines that were poorly delivered did not move a chuckle 6) Why Junior Superman can throw a piano in a room, but not open a freezer door when his mother asks too?

Problem tempting, just like his old man? 7) Kate Bosworth is a patch of any Lois Lane. He was also very unpleasant to CK then in the previous films.

9) When in the boat, why the villain for playing the piano with Lois’s son one minute, then Lois is trying to send a fax (as do the kidnapping), discovers villain then try to crush the head of Lois with a rock? It seems pretty drastic 10) Im sorry, but the CGI is terrible. The fly-bys near Superman were poor at best.

Final Fantasy: Spirits Within anyone … 11) Lois conveniently forgets his mobile phone when riding in a boat villain! Hhmmmm 12) The way Lex crew die is pure laziness (ie

a large rock fell on them all) All in all massive plot holes, poor acting and bad CGI made this one of the worst movies I’ve seen in a long time. Sorry Bryan, but not a patch on X1 or X2 (even worse than the X3 ….

which is saying something!)

The Wanderers

Not many people are aware that this film is based on a novel of the same title written in 1974. The novel is dark, super-hard, miserable and extremely fun. It is an honest look at how miserable life in the Bronx who have been in the 60s was characterized by uber-authentic dialogue everywhere.

For an adaptation, this is not bad and many of the elements The Wanderers the book to find your way around this but in a completely random manner. I feel the film is very light in comparison and allows the book to a large extent in this regard. It’s more of an idea-good movie and I think if you approach it as entertainment on a Friday night, a bar is not really so bad the nauseating coming-of-age-in-the-60s cliche moments.

The Love Letter I had never heard of this movie, but I thought it sounded good! And its just that ….. okits nothing special, nothing magical, but spent a rainy afternoon away. I just couldnt overcome Ellen De generos man playing a dining room in this film that has not just sit right.

Tom Selleck in the movie is good, and so are the rest of the actors. I did guess who the love letter to and from, and was a pleasant surprise, you are an eagle-eyed viewers will see if they are closer than me.I recommend this movie if anyone is lookin for an afternoon.
