Alan Arkin was by the far the best thing in this movie. Typical rites of passage everyone loves life cliched stuff. The dance at the end was funny but it won't get a repeat viewing. |
Well that's disappointing. I take it you weren't taken (lol) by the soundtrack either?
I've been binging out on Glenn Ford recently: http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B0...1.LZZZZZZZ.jpg Mesmerizing performances and interaction between Hayworth and Ford. I didn't even care what it was about, it was just a pleasure to watch them. http://www.dvdbeaver.com/film/dvdcom...1_00.21.35.jpg http://www.leninimports.com/fritz_lang_the_big_heat.jpg Couldn't really get into it for some reason. I was really put off by the picture perfect. 50's display of domestic life. It was kind of awkward seeing him play the perfect husband. I'm thinking Ford is much better playing bad guys. Which brings me to this fucking masterpiece: |

Excellent thriller, lots of psychological drama (the scene in the hotel room was immense), Ford dominates every scene but Helfin was also perfectly cast as the reluctant hero. http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/...s/yumaspan.jpg And tonight I saw: http://www.fansonline.net/images/ind...redoGarcia.jpg Not nearly as impressive as The Wild Bunch or Straw Dogs, but I guess the violence sort of gets old if you've seen more than one of his films. |
No the soundtrack didn't do much for me. For a rites of passage movie (despite dealing with older characters) I much prefer The Station Agent. Superb U.S indie film.
As for your sojourn into Noir I heartily suggest The Asphalt Jungle or Key Largo. Brilliant films. |
Thanks for the suggestions, I've heard about all those films (pretty sure I've seen Key Largo in the distant past) and they're on my ever growing to see list...sigh...

Michael Jackson's "This Is It"
I cried so hard, it was emotional seeing him perform. He had so much energy in him |

2012. Special effects were great, but most of the time it was way over the top...too much! As for the script, it was just trying to hard :S
