Running with Scissors (2006)
a true waste of time, talent and money
It's no wonder that people are choosing other forms of entertainment....this was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Beautifully shot, Annette Benning stands out despite the terrible material.
Maybe some day the suits that look at the bottom line to decide which movie to make will either be fired or learn from their mistakes.
As a movie lover I pray it is the latter.
Don't waste your precious time and money on this one....
I have to write at least ten lines...
It's unfortunate that I have nothing further to add. Truly abysmal.
Local Color (2006)
beauty in the age of cynicism
It has been a long time since I have seen a movie with as much integrity and honesty. As the writer so aptly states in the opening of the movie: this is a movie for romantics not critics.
When I hear someone trash a film or is angry about something the first question I ask is "what are they afraid of?". It IS easy to be cavalier and self serving. It is much more difficult to truly speak from the heart.
The characters are real...the performances excellent. The script is brilliant. There are so many gems...words of wisdom that it is hard to remember them all.
What I like most about this movie is that it is completely unapologetic. It takes courage to let it all hang out.
Perhaps if our culture was more in tune with nature and less about cynicism and ego we would all be better off.
I would highly recommend this movie to everyone.
