21 Grams (2003)
whaaaaa????
first off,this movie will give even the toughest brain goosebumps. its a masterpiece in its own right and all the actors and actresses are fantastic.
the story has been commented on enough so people know what its about. but the thing that annoys me..literally drove me nuts,was the awful poorly placed flashings of the plot. if you wanna do a movie thats going to show people in various parts of their lives,at least make the viewer have a clue that its really the same person! i only turned away for a few short seconds to see someone dying in Naomi's arms..and i didn't know who it was until several flashes later!
and the guy who kills the woman's husband and two daughters looked so much like brad Pitt,i thought it was him!
really folks..better stay right in front of the screen on this one. its a gem..but if you look away for any amount of time you are gonna think you are losing your grip on reality..which is exquisitely what this flick means to do to you. i rated it a seven..would have been a ten if they hadn't given it such a poor ending(hence spoiler...) gee..Paul dies. couldn't they make something a bit more interesting/ why waste all the time with this when hes gonna die? its stupid. but its worth the watch.
Cocaine: One Man's Seduction (1983)
Dennis weaver at his best!
one of the best and most "hitting you in the face" movies of all time.
on one hand,it is a sad story of a drug user(weaver) who gets so messed up he stoops to blaming his own kid for coke when his wife finds it.
on the other hand..its unintentionally hilarious. there's one scene when weavers walking on the beach on a boardwalk and he drops his keys..he flips out. another great part is when he blows a big presentation because hes so paranoid. a must see. is this thing in print??? it should be. anyone thinking they can do cocaine without having a bad time needs to see this. as said..both serious and funny at once.
when it was first shown as a typical "movie of the week' it was a bit silly..because we were seeing mcloud on dope! i think Dennis gives one of his all time best performances here.. he doesn't overact as he often was known to. hes very cool and realistic. this is what anyone could and does experience with that nasty drug. but what about Dennis? would that people could remember him for more than just duel and mcloud..and gunsmoke. because his rolls(including the infamous terror on the beach) for movies of the week were gems!
