Gary Unmarried (2008)
Project Gary ain't gonna make it !
I've got to tell you,I really expected a lot after reading the show's plot outline. After the premiere though,I was thoroughly disappointed ! What a way to start?! There's just so many loose ends as far as the script is concerned and it just feels incomplete.The only reason I'm giving it a 6/10 ,is for the few bits of humor that is prevalent in each episode and the continuity present.In fact it not worth talking to your friends about..
I've seen all 3 episodes that have been aired and have to say,its simply not as entertaining as most other popular shows,except for the few funny moments thrown in!!
If the script & acting doesn't get any better ,I'm sure this will go off air eventually..
UPDATE:
Episode 5:
Finally,an episode that was just about good.. Add in a few more laughs and obviously a better script and this might just get it going !
An American Crime (2007)
You have to see this at least once !
Firstly,This film is of the "drama" genre.. So i request all of you to stop calling this a horror film.. People tend to get the wrong opinion and would refrain from watching this movie.
"This film is based on the true story of the torture and murder of Sylvia Likens by Indianapolis housewife Gertrude Baniszewski."
The movie is very well made ! Great acting & direction I must add. One wouldn't want to go around proclaiming that the movie is great purely because of it's sickening nature.Child Abuse has always been a matter of grave discussion through all kinds of media.But I'd go all the way to say that this movie has vividly portrayed this issue which frankly , still happens to many children all around the world due to many disturbing reasons,this being one of them.
Catherine Keener's performance was really good but second to Ellen Page who deserves the utmost credits for her acting. To be tortured,even if it's just acting,is a terrible thing.. I was literally begging for some mercy while watching it!
This is after all a tragic tale of child abuse involving sickening acts of torture & murder which makes it rather difficult to watch.Not sure even if some adults would sit through this movie.A definite no-no for kids ! Good thing it's got a R rating..
So all I have to say is that ,this is just one of those controversial movies that come along every now and then,and leave you disturbed.. But one you definitely shouldn't miss watching !
I give it a 9/10 because of its sheer originality and the great acting involved..
