Room (2015)
A stretch to think this could happen in real life .
First off, I only saw this on TV . Sitting in a theatre for two hours would be unlikely for me . Seems to me ,even a woman over the coarse of 7 years , could kick through the wall of a shed . But this is a movie . How could a film with these kind of box office and cost of production numbers be the recipient of so many awards ? I found the performance of the boy , who I assume the actor (Trembly) was playing 5 years old , must have been older in reality ,to be pretty remarkable . A dark film . But after viewing it in parts a number of times , I did find it to be worth the effort . You do get to see William Macy do a small part which is very believable .What would go through the mind of a father knowing his grand son was conceived in rape ? I think the really deep drama occurs when the mother blows up at her daughter when she has to remind her that she also had her life destroyed . Quite powerful. A very unusual film .
Escape at Dannemora (2018)
I liked it .
The darkness of the prison areas is a little troubling .But the acting is great .Benicio Del Toro has a face that just captivates the camera . I have a normal size TV so it may be better on a big screen .I often use the caption feature to be able to understand all the dialog on others shows too . But I think it's worth the effort to watch . And seeing the ugly winter climate of upstate NY makes me gad I live in a much milder place .
Wisdom of the Crowd (2017)
OK if your a computer Geek
My wife watches this. Cyber version of "Law and Order"? Too much work for my attention span . All this cyber lingo . Algorithms,server hacking and various Geek terms . This Cow eyed female lead bugs the crap out of me . The accent I guess is supposed to be sexy. And you have to pay close attention to understand her .I do like to see her strut that tight tush . But unless they start parading her around in her knickers , I won't be trying to follow the entangled , constant computer techno babble .
The Green Inferno (2013)
One of the most graphic , disgusting films ever made .
I'm no great authority of horror films .I have never seen "Saw" films . But it seems there are so many filmmakers bent on showing how well they learned in film school how to make something so grotesque look real. This one pretty much took the cake for me . I mean , I wasn't even sure what this witch doctor character was up to sticking that horn thing ,"tool" , up the girls vaginal canal .If that was what went on. And what was really one of the more sickening portrayals , was that of the head freak , ( man or woman ?)digging with a dagger , one at a time , the guys eyeballs out and snacking them down on the spot . And then slicing out his tongue for dessert . All while the guy is screaming and writhing. And then they write in the part where they stuff the dead girls throat with what looked like maybe a quarter ounce of pot . Knowing she's next on the menu . And they get the entire village stoned out of their minds . 200 , 300 people. Really ? All I can say is , don't scoff at the suggested age numbers . I wouldn't want even a 15 year old seeing this blood and guts extravaganza . Lucky for me I only caught it on TV . Can't believe people stuck around until the film finished in the theaters .
Cord (2000)
Very funny performance by Jennifer Tilly
Really love watching her and her sister .The part she plays in this is similar to the male villain in "Delores Claiborne" , you just want somebody to stick an ice pick clean through her skull. She is way weird .Trouble I had was all the chances that the victim had to lower the boom on her.She didn't hit her long enough or hard enough to make sure she would not get up again . She smacked out the window of a tractor Tilly was driving , cut her head pretty good , but only hit her once .This, when she finally escapes after 7 to 8 months and is free .Even made a phone call .Hit her darn it . Beat her senseless now that you've got the drop on her. Certainly a little hard to buy some of the plot twists, but I saw it on cable so it was OK .
