When it comes to writing movie reviews, I'm strangely muted. I guess I feel I can always depend on
dferguson for quality reviews of film. If you want incoherent rants and raves, you come to me. If you want movie reviews, you go to him. We all serve a purpose. That said, I won't take up too much of your time, whoever may be reading this.
I can't stand Kevin Costner, Demi Moore, or Marg Helgenberger. William Hurt, I can give or take. It therefore defies explanation that I so love the movie Mr. Brooks. The only thing I can figure is that it's a damned groovy story very nicely told by the players, even if those players do grate on my last damned nerve.
All I can say about Mr. Brooks is it's well worth your time.
**EDIT**
I just finished the movie and I was very pleasantly surprised to hear Finn singing during the final scenes. Once again with the Poetry of Coincidence... HA!

Date: 2008-10-26 10:17 pm (UTC)Have´nt seen the movie yet, I will do when I find the time, but first I must see the cult movie "Leningrad cowboys go America" by Aki Kaurismäki.
the most puzzling movie I have yet seen, is "From dusk till dawn" by Quentin Tarantino, and I have a theory of how it came to be.
After a good days shooting of what was, up till then, a good thriller, the director and his closest assistants got really pissing drunk at the local cantina, and under the influence thought that making the movie into a vampire story, was the greatest idea ever, and proceeded to do just that.
The next day everybody was to hungover to change anything, let alone move their toes, so the movie was launched the way it was....
A really good psycho movie is naturally "The silence of the lambs" although I find Buffalo Bill less than convincing as a serial killer (I should know, being one myself, muahahahah!!!)
Dabbling with a somewhat similar story myself, but based on conditions in Sweden, the progress have been slow sofar, but when ideas come, they come in chunks, ready to be added without any changes, so it is quite effortless, really.
All the Best!
