Last Days (2005)

Worn out drug rock star movie.

[1/10 · 27 May 2011]

Beside being trite and a story line too often used, the chromatography was a complete bore. It tried way to be hard to be ultra artistic instead of trying hard to help tell the story. From the ultra slow pans around the actors to the too often used window reflections to the fade out blur...OMG it was so boring I could hardly stand to watch it.

Now I will take the rest of the review to waste even more of your time trying to meet the ridiculous and arbitrary minimum 10 line review requirement of IMDb. Really, you guys should know better than anyone not ever movie deserves a 10 line review.

if you decide to watch this movie, Please, please don't pay any money to do so...You will feel ripped off.

Off the Map (2003)

The setting in NM could not be more fitting.

Simply put this movie is about beauty: beauty of people, the land, simplicity and love. This is in my top 10 favorites of all time. It hit a chord and the cord was "Om."

Sometimes less is more and this movie does a great job in showing the beauty in a Thoreauean manner.

Like Charley (Sam Elliot) the movie made me cry and i cant say why. Perhaps it was shear beauty of it and the awesome landscape.

Go see it with low expectations because it is not a "knock your socks off movie" but through subtlety, as subtle as the muted colors of New Mexico, I promise it will overwhelm you with it's power.

Freedomland (2006)

A bad missing child movie with a race card kicker.

[1/10 · 6 July 2006]

This is a trite story about a Mom who fakes a car-jacking to cover the negligent death of her son. In typical Hollywood fashion it tries to play a race card on top of a missing child story with drastic results. It is not hard to comprehend Hollywood would sink to this (what is worse is they will probably award this film some prize from the never ending and ever growing number of self laudatory awards for their crappy movies) but it is hard to believe that two quality actors would agree to do it. The movie sucked. It was over dramatic, over filmed, slow and boring. Do not spend any money to see this film. In fact I would be wary to see it for money.
