The Man Who Cried (2000)
Too dark;
This may sound mundane and Philistine on my part, but please I wish someone would have turned the lights on in the making of this film. I realize that night and dark scenes are artistically called for, but in this film, the director must not have paid the power bill. I wish the director turned on the lamps and had a disclaimer running along the bottom saying that this was supposed to be a darkly lit scene.
Also, who decided to take the most beautiful actress alive and dip her in lipstick. Cate Blanchett, you are a real trooper; lipstick and a thick Russian accent did nothing to further your career, as if your career needs any furthering. You are the greatest living actress. Don't go for a role like this again. Johnny Depp, this goes for you too.
A really tedious film, the only bright spot is the performance by Christina Ricci.
Turn the lights on!!!!!!
Huevos de oro (1993)
A bit too much Mediterrenean machismo for me.
A bit too much Mediterrenean machismo for me. The cast was beautiful, lovely to watch in all of the romantic scenes. The locale was beautiful with azure skies and azure water. It just was not convincing to me that such an egomaniac crud bent on nothing but his building, could attract so many beautiful, vulnerable, women. Only in the Mediterranean I guess. Certainly in no world I am familiar with. The macho men were really obnoxious, and I found it difficult to believe that the female characters could have anything to to with them for so long. The screenplay, cinematography, directing, etc. was set up to deliver a Class B film, the central effort being on showing scenes of beautiful exposed female breasts. It was aesthetically nice for a while but it could not sustain a very mediocre film.
