GOOD OL' FREDA
No great Beatles insights but an
extremely warm witness to history documentary about The Beatles secretary and
fan club president, Freda Kelly. The
most interesting part was the relationship between The Beatles and their
growing fan base in the early 60’s. Lovingly
chronicled, an enjoyable film.
RAZE
If you enjoy women beating
the crap out of each other than this film is for you. The fight scenes are well-choreographed, the
set-up is handled well, the whole thing is paced competently leading to a
satisfactory if downbeat conclusion. The
unpleasantness level is high which puts off the notion of repeat viewings. Sherilyn Fenn has not aged well.
HERE COMES THE DEVIL
The ferocious and tense and
highly imaginative first 20 minutes of this Spanish horror film unfortunately gives
way to a predictable minor league PET SEMETARY storyline. A lesser horror film.
AMERICAN HUSTLE
The phrase “style over
substance” was made for this film.
Excellent care was taken with the 1970’s setting, the clothes, Christian
Bale’s combover, Bradley Cooper’s beard but the end result is really a nothing
film – no interesting characters, clichéd action, dull convoluted story. Don't quite understand how their semi-fictionalized
version of the ABSCAM scam figured into the overall film.
