Club Utopia (2013)
Great Movie!
The opening scene was so hilarious I was immediately hooked and drawn into the story. This film has it all! Great acting, unique characters, and a delightful fast-moving story that will keep you entertained. Sally's fantasies were hysterical. Her husband's reactions to them made me laugh until I cried. I saw the actor who played Alex in a drama. He is an amazing and versatile performer. I enjoy films where the writer also stars. Frank Caruso was perfect as Sabatini. The role was made for him. He and his partner in crime, Mr. Cologne, kept me laughing. I wish I could say more without spoiling. If you enjoy belly laughs and side-splitting comedies, this film is for you!
Final Dance (2015)
A Must-See Love Story
Final Dance is a touching love story that ends in heartbreak for two people who were meant to meet, meant to love, but never meant to stay together. A love of dance originally brings Vikka and Julia together, but as their feelings for each other deepen, the 20-year age difference between them slowly begins to tear them apart.
Julia is a beautiful young girl who has always felt alone. Her compassion for Vikka, a homeless ex-actor/dancer, compels her to invite him to her home. Their shared love of dance brings them closer, and as the connection they make intensifies, the obstacles against a lasting relationship become glaringly obvious.
Torn by her feelings for Vikka but believing she has to let him go, Julia loses control. Her cutting remarks to Vikka send him away. Unable to take back her words and unable to find Vikka, Julia is hysterical when she realizes she's lost him forever.
Final Dance will move you in ways no other love story can. Its tour de force is in not revealing the end and letting the viewer decide whether or not Vikka jumped off that bridge.
Bitter Circle (2001)
One of the best crime dramas I have ever seen.
Bitter Circle is a fast-moving film noir crime drama. Seductive narration pulls you into the story and events that follow lead you to believe what may not be true. Money and morals drive the plot through unexpected twists and turns that end in surprising outcomes. The story centers around a guilt-ridden undercover cop whose marriage has fallen apart, leaving him lost and alone to deal with his despair. The only person he feels he can talk to is a prostitute he is trying to help. They have an emotional bond formed from pain and suffering and through her we get insight to his overwhelming guilt. The traumatic day that ruined his life is revealed slowly in emotionally gripping replayed scenes. Fine acting by a basically unknown cast. A compelling movie that probes the emotional costs to those involved in fighting crime.
No Angel (1992)
A movie with a message!
No Angel is a light entertaining drama, occasionally amusing. Tom is a womanizing bachelor who can't stay faithful to his long-term girlfriend. He begins an affair with Laura, a beautiful intriguing woman, who quickly turns the tables on him. Driven to distraction by her aloofness and disappearing acts, he can't think about anything but her. Some great lines putting the fidelity issue firmly on the other foot are quite amusing as well as enlightening. A secretive woman with her own agenda and ties to a mobster, Laura does an exquisitely executed sensual dance for Tom that is mesmerizing and escalates his obsession for her. His job in jeopardy, his life in turmoil, but unable to help himself, he becomes her pawn in a dangerous game. No Angel is an excellent movie with a message highly enjoyable.
