Before the Devil Knows You're Dead (2007)
Not horrid, but has horror show makeup.
Phillip Seymour Hoffman has so much makeup on it looks like his face may melt and I guess that makes it easier t act if you're marginal...lack of much in the way of facial expressions. Looks like somebody troweled things on like they were putting BONDO on a car.
Has slow spots. Marisa is pretty hot, but not in enough of the movie. I can't "un-pay" for netflixing it, but nothing special or I'd view again. I'd rather watch a Pauly movie.
Decent concept.
Poor execution (no pun).
Fire the people that made a person look near as plastic as if he was CGI. You are supposed to make CGI look more like humans, not humans look more like CGI.
The Devil's Miner (2005)
Not a bad film but for one really bad mistake in production.
Official release I got today from a normal movie rental agent has HARDCODED subs and I speak Spanish. It's jarring to try and watch a movie and have the dialogue in *GIANT* letters in English. The fact that English and Spanish word ordering and grammar are light years apart doesn't help that concept one bit. Why do a Spanish movie that is hard to enjoy in the Spanish language?
Nice cinematography, for the most part, but WHY on the jarring subs?
Interesting story, pretty camera work for the most part.
Munged up by not giving me an option to turn off subs.
Good story, questionable execution. I'm going to see if I can get a Spanish language version to watch.
