Over the past 2 days, I’ve seen 3 movies. Two of them are arthousy homo flicks, another is not.
One was bad education by pedro almodovar or something like that. Elaborate, sensual, story. Ambition, blackmail, intrigue, sex, murder, blah, blah, blah. I actually rather enjoyed it, but have no urge to see it again.
Next, I saw the hudsucker proxy. It wasn’t a bad movie. The cynicism towards corporate america was kinda refreshing, though it was very over the top. And the mixing of angelic figures and supernatural events into the story, kinda enh. Mixed review. Still, it gives me hope that people are willing to look critically at the role such structures have taken on in our lives.
The third one was “two brothers [and two others (american title)]” which was apparently produced for $545 canadian, and it kinda shows (I say kinda because I viewed it as a download and the graphical quality blew. Who knows how the original was.) While the acting is sub-par in places, and the visuals left something to be desired, I really liked it. The characters were belivable, and engaging (all 4 of them). It had a very open ending. For an el cheapo film, it really worked for me. I recommend it.
Hudsucker Proxy is one of my favorite flicks, but admittedly it’s better when you’re 12. Woo.
i may watch that two brothers film, unless someone tells me not to before i get a chance 😉
incidentally, there is another film called two brothers. i suggest you look it up 😉
