Gerry (2002)
Awful
There are no adjectives powerful enough to describe how truly awful this movie is.
Two people wander around in the desert for two hours, and nothing in the plot, dialogue, or characterization gives us any reason to care. Even the scenery is bland and ordinary.
If you have a fetish for men walking silently, trudging, trudging, trudging, and breathing loudly through their noses, then this is the movie for you. Normal people will need to look elsewhere.
I found myself praying for death by the midpoint. I have no idea what the writer and director were going for. Whatever it was, they failed. I kept waiting for something - anything - to make sense. Nothing ever did.
It would be illegal to show this movie to the prisoners at Guantanamo, because torture has been outlawed by the Geneva Convention.
This is the worst I have ever seen in my life.
The Last Frontier (2002)
An expertly told fable
Bob Hercules uses the metaphor of a homeless man as a brilliant analogy for the quest for individuality in an increasingly corporate and structured world.
His point can be summed up in this quote from the movie: "If you've lived your whole life in a cage, the world outside the cage seems terrifying."
Men with Guns (1997)
Excellent Character-driven Drama
This movie has some of the most expertly drawn characters I've ever seen in a movie. The acting and writing is absolutely superb. The ending is uplifting, but not sappy or overly sentimental. It's the type of movie that can be watched again and again.
