I saw
Finding Nemo in the theater last night. Definately recommend it- I posted more in the Finding Nemo thread.
I also saw 3 films on DVD this week. (Yea- I'm
really into movies).
Casualties of War this is Vietnam War movie by DePalma tha came out in the 1980's. A totally disturbing film. I liked it except for the end. But it is seriously messed up & I don't think I can ever like Sean Penn again, even though he was just acting.
Maxthis is a fairly recent film starring John Cusack
He plays a German Jew who comes back from WWI missing the arm he painted with. So now he's an art dealer. He meets a young aspiring artist still in the army after WWI named Adolf Hitler. It's all about their relationship & you see Hitler being torn between art or politics so there's a big "what if" going on the whole time. Although I'm sure there were some liberties taken. Unfortunately I thought the ending was entirelty predictable, but I really liked it anyway.
Y Tu Mama Tambien everyone who saw this Mexican film raved about it. All the reviewers loved it. Let me tell you- it's nothing special. It's just in Spanish. Although there are a lot of fully nude shots of guys, which is different. It's one of those "coming of age films" about teenage boys. Which means, sex, drugs & something that changes them from boy to man. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great, either.
And that's my movie review this week
