Hard Candy (2005)
Horrible film with anti-male agenda
This flick is horrible because of its very "all men are evil and should be castrated" theme, lack of fairness, unbelievable story line and poor ending. Basically, it is a bad story.
Technically, the Filming and sound are very good. The acting is also good. It seems low budget with a short opening in a coffee shop but with the vast majority of the filming in a house in the hills overlooking LA. Almost all of the movie was shot with the two main actors with a few bit parts thrown in.
Interesting premise, quality filming but with an unbelievable, political agenda driven story that is really horrible. And a good film is a good story, this one fails on the story.
Paradies: Liebe (2012)
Well done Austrian made flick on a provocative subject
This flick is about over the hill, fat, white women from Europe that travel to Africa for romance with young black men. It was very well acted and filmed on location in Kenya. The Austrian made film was a mix of German and English but with enough subtitles to make it quite watchable. It seemed realistic - real people with different agendas all trying to get what they want and without the usual political correctness seen in so many American films. The leading character seemed very believable - typical overconfident middle aged German on holiday, speaking English with German grammar. This film not for everyone - the storyline is not mainstream and hard to relate to if you do not understand the emotional turmoil of aging. It was unusual in that the frequent nudity was of the older and fatter female tourists - it certainly added to the story - but quite unusual for a film.
