Movie Reviews of Buffalo '66
Movie Review: Memorable Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
Ever since I saw this movie the first time on the Sundance Channel on cable TV, it has been in my mind. The strong willed yet mentally troubled protagonist Billy Brown seeks revenge against a man that he has never met, yet discovers unexpected forks in the road that leads him to discover revenge comes at a high cost, and may not allways be the correct path to follow. His life long friend who prefers to be called Rocky attempts to talk Billy down, but it will take more than that to persuade him from his destiny. There is also a very tasteful and touching love story inter-twined into the drama, adding color and hope to a movie based around a sinester plot.
The acting in the movie is raw and authentic, I wish more movies had this caliber of realism and witty dialog. I am glad to own this on DVD now so when I feel frustrated with the world I can hang out with my "Best friend in the whole wide world" Billy Brown.
Summary of Buffalo '66
After five years in prison for a crime he didnt commit billy brown a down-on-his-luck-romantic comes home to seek revenge on a local field goal kicker who cost him his freedom and buffalo its super bowl dreams. Studio: Lions Gate Home Ent. Release Date: 02/01/2005 Starring: Vincent Gallo Ben Gazzara Run time: 110 minutes Rating: RWriter-director-composer Vincent Gallo and Christina Ricci star in this quirky and deliberately grimy little movie. Gallo plays Billy Brown, recently released from prison and unable to find so much as a decent bathroom in his cold hometown. Billy's parents are unaware that he's been locked up; in a pathetic attempt to impress them with how successful he's become, he hits on the novel plan of kidnapping young dance student Layla (Ricci) and forcing her to play the role of his wife. Billy's distant--to say the least--parents are played to the hilt by Anjelica Huston and Ben Gazzara, Huston in particular bringing a demented glee to her role as Billy's football-obsessed mother. As the movie unfolds, we learn more about Billy's tormented childhood and unfortunate tendency to bet on the Bills in the Super Bowl. Gallo boldly throws himself into the task of playing a complete sleazebag, and Ricci does lovely standout work as the one ray of hope in the grinding darkness of Billy's life. This odd little love story is just the thing to make you feel better about your own relationship--especially if you're not in one. --Ali Davis
