The Invisible (2007)
It's really quite good!
Direction is excellent, there's a feeling that accompanies the film that's truly palpable; I like my mystery unfolding! I always thought the movie was a horror show, so bad marketing there. The love elements were sweet but realistic.
I thought it was a rather relevant film, the anger of Annie should touch the hearts of a lot of young women. She is SUCH A BADASS...in a way you totally get!
The soundtrack is sweet, and extraordinarily well used. I think I might remember that club scene for the rest of my life. I won't be surprised to see this be a "sleeper" DVD hit, no pun intended of course ;)
The Moscow Siege (2004)
Cause and AFFECT
For many Americans, we saw the Moscow Siege in the midst of heroics; the deaths of more hostages than not, a footnote. For years, Russian and American governments policy has been to NEVER negotiate with terrorists. How many deaths does it take to outweigh this philosophy? More than 300? More than a thousand? More than 3,000? The brilliance of Moscow Siege is that its narrative is drawn mainly from the survivors of the siege-the mothers, daughters, sons and fathers. Moscow Siege gives them a voice beyond national rhetoric, a voice that calls for action. An action for peace. The survivor's faces are lined and voices hollow, not just with their own pain, but also the pain of citizens who have no control over their own inhumane state. The film doesn't make a argument for terrorism, it only relates the sadness of survivors who wish it had never come to this...A real tearjerker, should you have a heart. Doesn't have to be bleeding liberal, just beating.
