The Three Way (2011)
The Black Almodovar
Just caught this at BAM last night. Was going to see my girl Sofi.
Very pleased over all with the film. The twists and turns of the plot do make for some nice surprises.
The Best acting has to go to Tasha. The lead. I thought she was phenomenal and really leads the audience thru her emotional journey. Sofi had everyone laughing with her antics.
Production over all was good and simple. I thought the hand-held was a poor choice, would have preferred static and hand-held for the fights.
And the fights... That had me laughing, annoyed, pleased. I do like where the director is heading with this style. Reminds me of Almodovar. At first I was annoyed by all the screaming. But it reached a level of farce that made sense to me, in particular when the gay guy and the afro girl were fighting.
a couple of stylistic choices I liked, the slomo at the end.
over all very pleased. Would like to see a more complex film from the director, which goes over a much longer period of time.
Illegal Tender (2007)
eeehhh
Whats to say about Latino Scorcese reshuffle, lack of originality Cliché after cliché, Over acting, Ridiculous motivations.
Decent use of music.
Is this the best we can do?
how about a filmmaker with the balls. Is there anyone out there? someone who's not gonna cut to the gun.
"but without violence they won't come" maybe. Or at least the gangbangers wont.
But you can try something else that may show a different side life. Something deeper. and Who knows maybe you'll find a voice.
