FOUR FILMS, - BLACKFISH, NOTHING CAN HURT ME, DARK TOUCH, PRINCE AVALANCHE

BLACKFISH

Powerful, tough documentary that explores every angle of Seaworld’s keeping killer whales in captivity and the bigger question of killer whale captivity in general.  The focus of the investigation here (but not near the only thing discussed) is a captive whale that has killed three people over the last couple of decades (two trainers and a guy who snuck into Seaworld afterhours)  Makes me want to go protest Seaworld right now!  A hell of an investigative documentary.



NOTHING CAN HURT ME

Since it dealt with music and a larger discussion of Big Star was in order, I’ve written about this quite good documentary on my other blog http://www.rgdinmalaysia.blogspot.com/2013/11/a-few-thoughts-on-big-star-documentary.html



DARK TOUCH

Unsettling is the world to use to describe this psychic abused child revenge horror film.  The young lead actress is really good and the whole film gave me the creeps.  The doll party scene – wow!  It is hurt though by a confusing ending that wasn’t on the same level of the rest of the film and seemed anti-climatic.


 
PRINCE AVALANCHE

Can’t decide if it wants to be a quirky indie pic or bromance frat pack film.  End result is inoffensive, tepid, dull.  Only worthwhile thing I can say about this film is it is the last appearance of dependable character actor Lance LeGault – he is the only good thing here.
