Stevie (2002)
Not so heartbreaking....
I liked this documentary, Please don't get me wrong... However it seemed to me that the director, Steve James (also Stevie's "Big Brother") was, in part, trying to make a movie about what a great person HE is for taking care of Stevie in a way, when in reality I feel he is partially another one of the causes of Stevie's problems. Just add Steve James to the long list of people in Stevie's life who have abandoned him when he really needed someone. I think if more people in his life had actually helped him he wouldn't have turned into the person he did. *I don't want to give anything away for those who haven't yet seen the movie.* Even though Steve James openly admits that he only became a "Big Brother" to Stevie as part of a class he took in college and that sometimes he dreaded having to spend time with him. This documentary is okay, I would recommend people see it just so maybe we will learn to have more compassion for those around us who aren't as fortunate or as learned as the rest of us.
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels (1998)
Terrible
Really awful, pseudo-Tarantino nonsense with a plot so banal I cannot even recall it. Silly accents, "hip" dialogue, camerawork seemingly directed by a whirling dervish, sliced together by an editor with a case of attention deficit disorder. Surely we can all just acknowledge and move on with our lives. Come on world, top 250?
