pranayama's rating
I picked this one up at Blockbuster b/c the cover looked interesting and the reviews on the back caught my eye. The Acting is excellent and the storyline is quite entertaining. I cannot believe it has such a low score in here. Well, it just goes to show, not everyone likes indie films. Which leads me to my next point, that if you enjoy random indie films, you'll definitely be surprised by this one! - The main character is a kleptomaniac who's trying to come to terms with his own identity while struggling with the people in the world around him. A family takes him under their wing. I thought the mother did a particularly good job with her role in the picture. Very stimulating!!!
- I enjoyed this movie! Both actresses were in top form, and both the plot and the script were incredibly realistic (which can be a refreshing break from all of the "out there" Hollywood story lines).
- Briefly, it's about a woman who discovers that she doesn't want to be an uneducated house wife for the rest of her life, so she decides to pursue her dream of going to school. It's quite inspirational.
- I really enjoyed the main actress in six-feet-under. She's very genuine and "real-seeming." Courney-love, despite all the bad press she's received through the years, was superb. She's an excellent actress (and I'm pretty picky).
- Bottomline: If you like indie films, definitely check it out!
okay, i am not in the custom of writing bad reviews (for fear of sounding like an abhorrent movie snob), but in this case, i could not resist.
A History of Violence is what happens when you take great actors, and decent direction and put them to a bad script. i felt as though i'd seen this movie before. It has absolutely NO originality to it.
It's about a family man who's past catches up with him.. big deal!!! is that suppose to be suspenseful?? If you want suspense check out Capote or Good Night and Good Luck.
The fact that this movie got a 7.6 in here is seriously depressing.
thumbs down! pran
