The Broken (2008)
Clearly Written by an Adolescent
The movie begins with a family dinner. I am supposed to believe that the father, would tell a supposed "true story" about lube to his adult daughters. Not in my family, not in any family I know of. I was sad for the acting crew, that clearly desperately needed a payday to appear in this movie.
Magician: The Astonishing Life and Work of Orson Welles (2014)
Terrible
Unintelligent documentary about a very intelligent man. No cohesive theme or statement about Orson Wells. Chunks of a better documentary edited together into a bad one. Has some interesting comments about how he made films, otherwise just sycophantic incantations about how great he was. Includes a montage of pictures of Orson Well's girlfriends and wives, how does this contribute to the story? Came off as sexist as these women are regulated to photographs without anything interesting to say about his personal life. Snips here and there of celebrities saying thins about Orson Wells without drawing any meaningful summations about Orson and his art. Smug, smarmy, and depressing in the way it cheapens Orson Wells legacy.
