Troy (2004)
my thoughts
I was pleasantly surprised with the movie, "Troy." I will say there was an excess of bloody fighting but it was very well done. Brad Pitt did a very good job, as did the other main characters. The history depicted in the movie was very informative to a person who has little or no knowledge of the history of the era. As an epic I would rate it top- notch. My husband & I were both impressed; we are well into the mid & late 70's and we both liked the movie. The costumes & scenery were topnotch. I guess the main complaint I have is that it was dragged out a little too long.
Ratcatcher (1999)
Very interesting!!!
I recently saw this movie & found it quite powerful. The acting was very good, especially the young boy playing the lead. Everything was very realistic, probably more than I would have wanted to see. I guess foreign art films show a lot more skin & shocking scenes than do American movies. Regardless, I found the movie very interesting & did enjoy it to a degree. But I do think I would have trouble recommending it to some of my friends.
Blow Dry (2001)
Fun Movie seen as Blow Dry
This movie was very enjoyable. Alan Richmann played a part different from any other I have seen him in. There was drama, laughter, & good fun to be seen in this flick. The actors did a good job. This wasn't a great movie but I have seen a lot worse. I would recommend it for being different.
Blood Simple (1984)
My opinion of this movie.
Blood Simple a re-release of a very good movie. I was really impressed with the simplicity and suspense of the movie. The actors all did a great job. Of course, it was obvious where the title of the movie came from. lots of twists & turns & lots of blood. Interesting that a movie can say all it has to without using an excess of profanity. A refreshing look at past movies. The last scene had me puzzled. I really didn't understand the significance of the dying man looking up & seeing the drop of water. I thoroughly enjoyed this noir flick.
