Suing the Devil (2011)

Applauding the guts - bravo to the filmmakers

[10/10 · 14 February 2012]

Just saw this film last night....Praise God.

Tim Chey has his 2nd best film here (behind Genius Club and Live Fast) with Suing the Devil. Sure it might be over-hyped and some characters in the film aren't needed (not to mention it depends on the liking of the lead), but when you have Malcolm McDowell working harder than any actor in a movie this year, it is worth it.

From time to time a group of people with a lot of guts come forward and challenge something, that every average thinking producer would get nightmares to even think about making it. This is that film.

I have never seen a more meaningful and thought-provoking film. Right from the start, I knew this was going to be a classic film, and my opinion was not changed throughout the course of the movie one bit. It delivers such a strong message of fear, survival and hope, that leaves your mind devoted to thinking about it for a long while after. It made me think about all my creature comforts I take for granted and never once thanking God above, and what is actually necessary in life.

Thank you again Film Team

Analyze That (2002)

Not as good sequiel

[6/10 · 14 February 2012]

This sequel of the 1999 mob comedy "Analyze This" has plenty to keep the viewers laughing, bemused, and sometimes shocked. It's no longer a tale of a sweet psychiatrist keeping a mafia don sober. On the contrary, it's the gangster who's showing his shrink the reality of the tough side to every human soul. Guess who's expected to be lying on the psychiatric couch? Yep, this film offers a fun ride to the psychology of the shrink! And it makes no apologies for pumping up enough guffaws to keep one's throat sore. It may not be the comedy for the puritanical grandmas and grand-papas, but face it, it's gangland - foul-mouthed, and rude gestures, vulgarities, et. al. Yep, Director Harold Ramis can't be accused of not injecting new flavor and spice to this sequel's characters! Nope, there's no way one can complain that it has the same old jokes. De Niro and Billy Crystal, and a cast of amusing actors are offering a new outlook on mob life and it's influence. There are demons lurking in every mind; there is the identity crisis to consider - even with the good, old professional folks.
