The Hangover (2009)
Sometimes everything is done RIGHT in a movie!
Simply put, The Hangover gets everything right. First, the movie is hilarious. Second, the direction, script, and comedic timing are spot on. This is one of those movies that guys in their 30's and 40's can relate to very easily. So many of us have either been in or known friends who've been in situations like this only to relive these experiences later in life as our "You won't believe it story". As someone who rarely takes time to comment on films, I have to say "what a great job!" to the director and all the other cast and crew for really getting all the elements to come together so well. From the choice of actors to the cinematography, editing and score, this film made me laugh over and over again, while appreciating how well all the talented folks who worked on this movie did such an outstanding job. I can't remember when I've gone to see a movie more than once, and I've seen this one 5 times! This is extremely rare for me. Don't wait for the DVD go see it now, but I will buy the DVD. I can't wait to see the deleted scenes and extras like director commentary on this. Thank you for making a classic!!!!!
The Last Sin Eater (2007)
An awesome film!
First let me address the Criticism. Editing- the editing is NOT bad but rather we've all become used to the Hollywood standard of pace and rhythm that leaves scenes shortchanged and without finishing a line of thought. The scenes here are thankfully played through to allow a more realistic flow for the actors.
Accents- Unless there are thousands of Gaelic language professors out there, the rest of us can suspend belief and listen to the "Welsh" accented English just fine. Christian theme- Would it really kill any of you to actually enjoy a movie with a message that is Christian, or do you need an F bomb every 30 seconds? Special Effects- OK, so Idustrial Light and Magic wasn't utilized in the filming, but then, Cadi Forbes wasn't twirling a light saber either.
Thank you Michael Landon Jr. for a wonderful film and a welcome refreshing movie. Just when I thought all was lost, you created a ray of hope. Everyone, please see this movie and quit whining.
First Born (2007)
A movie actually worse than Wickerman................
Elisabeth Shue's voice mail:
"Hey Elisabeth, this is Nick. Remember when we made "Leaving Las Vegas", and we promised each other that we'd each try and make the worst film ever just for kicks? Well I just did an incredibly awful remake of "Wickerman"! So you're up...."
Nicolas Cage's voice mail:
"Hey it's me, two words - First Born! I win, you loser!"
Something has gone wrong, horribly wrong with movies lately. I can't even stay awake sometimes for the ending. The problem here is I really do like both Cage and Shue but the scripts and supporting cast that they got on these movies was awful. As far as First Born goes there is not one thing RIGHT with the movie. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WATCHING THIS. I suffer so you don't have to.
