Blood & Donuts (1995)
i can't tell you how much I loved this movie!!
The best vampire movie since Lost Boys.. but with very little blood and lots of donuts! The vampire is hot.. the story is both funny and touching.. and the performances are all AMAZING!! I don't' understand why it wasn't a bigger hit.. and I certainly don't understand why it's not available on DVD.
The love story between the vampire and the older lady is exceptinally poignant..
Just because it's Canadian doesn't mean it isn't good.
PS.. why do comments have to be a minimum of 10 lines.. that' just stupid.
I love the movie.. but I don't want to write a dissertation about it!
Brokeback Mountain (2005)
great film.. waaaay too long
I just saw this at a preview screening for industry folk... I have to say that as the credits rolled.. I only had one thought.. the movie was 45 min too long. As the next day rolled along.. I found myself thinking more and more about the film and how it affected me. As it turns out.. it's really a great film.. just a bit too deliberately paced.. and uninterestingly edited.
The two boys are phenomenal.. but their 20 year aging is unconvincing.. the facial hair is not very well made and it's far too obvious where the aging makeup ends and their actual youthful skin begins.
However.. despite it's shortcomings.. Brokeback mountain is a remarkable achievement.. both in story and acting. Heath Leger proves here that he has the chops to actually carry a movie.. and Jake Gyllanhaal is once again a wonderful actor, building on his roles where he was already impressive.
The Treasure (1990)
Can you say DOG?
A film so ridiculously deritive that you know what's going to happen as the opening credits come up. A film so bad that you don't care. The three kids mysteriously grow 4-5 inches in some scenes, obviously shot months later in order to help out the plot or because the filmmakers ran out of money and couldn't shoot the film all at once.
The deus-ex-machina ending is acted so badly that all actors and crew should hang their head in shame.
