The Letter (2012)
Ed Wood Might Have Improved This Disaster!
As much as I like both James Franco and Winona Ryder, this may be one of the worst movies I've ever seen. A complete snooze-fest from start to finish. The movie's screenplay was as much of a bore as the play within the movie! The cast looks bored most of the time.
Absolutely nothing of consequence happens in this picture...nothing! I kept looking at the timer on the DVD player thinking something should be happening soon...but it never did! Truly a wasted hour and a half of my life! Thankfully, there were no extras to watch on the disk. Had there been any, I wonder if any explanation of the purpose of the film would have been forthcoming? I gave it 2 stars simply for the audacity of putting the story on film!
Requiem for a Dream (2000)
D-E-P-R-E-S-S-I-N-G!!!
This was THE most depressing movie I've ever seen! Don't get me wrong, some wonderful performances, but geez, such a downer of a film!
I watched the whole thing, confident that, at the end, at least one of the main characters would have climbed out of the muck that was their lives. I was wrong!
It was nice to see Louise Lasser again, but other than that, just a tremendous waste of talent. I was ready for the shock treatment by the end of the movie!
3 stars for the fine performances, but zero for everything else!
Apache Blood (1973)
Low Budget Chase With A Twist
I absolutely do not understand why anyone would post a comment to a movie they hadn't bothered watching all the way through. Thank God for the internet, keeping these folks off the streets! I have not seen Apache Blood in years, but my recollection of it should be more useful than the "didn't watch it...fast-forwarded...made snide remarks" review that appeared previously. I saw it on the late, late movie, with commercials, several years before my area was even wired for cable! Apache Blood is a low-budget, independent effort, with only one "name" in the cast. It's a western concerning a soldier's efforts to get back to his fort while being pursued by an Apache, played by Ray Danton. I don't recall a great deal of dialog, but the movie managed to hold my attention to the end. The tone established in the first 99% of the movie abruptly changes at the end; I was never sure how I felt about that, but it was definitely a surprise! If you enjoy cheap little indies, you should like this one.
