Conrack (1974)
Responding to " One of the Worst..."
I'm going to make this short and sweet. It's not surprising that you had no use for this film. This is a story about the power, beauty and possibilities inherent in a meaningful education. Based on your pathetically composed comments I can see that your own education has been woefully neglected... or worse... completely wasted. Your comments are those of a truly ignorant person. I would advise you to do something about this condition... but in your case I feel it's probably too late. My hope is that you yourself don't intend to go into the teaching profession ( especially in Film Studies) because you could only do damage. Oh... one last bit of advice. In the future, if you intend to write more opinion pieces, you should really proofread your work. It will make people take you more seriously.
Ghosts of Hamilton Street (2003)
A beautiful and intriguing film about "losing" the people who really matter.
"Ghosts of Hamilton Street" is a beautiful and intriguing film about "losing" the people who really matter. Director Mike Flanagan has crafted a fine feature (his 3rd... and to date... his best) dealing with the confused life of Brody Campbell, a man who is literally losing ALL of the people who make-up his daily existence. As bad as his life is, it doesn't get really scary until the morning after the wedding of his ex-wife when people LITERALLY start to disappear. Not disappear in a "serial murder" sense... disappear in a "now you see them... now you don't" sense. It's sad and un-nerving to watch Brody desperately trying to keep track of the "lost" and figure how to make it stop. This is the main drive of the film and we (the audience) can't help but feel empathy for Brody as he struggles to make his way through this cosmic nightmare. The acting in "Ghosts" is fantastic, not one weak performance... and that's saying ALOT for a low-budget feature. The cinematography is also superb. The camera and lighting crews deserve a big piece of the credit for making this film as beautiful as it is. My congratulations go out to the production crew and ALL of the people who made "Ghosts" a reality. Having seen this wonderful film several times now I can definately say without hesitation that "I do indeed believe in "Ghosts"! You will too.
