Movie Reviews of Heaven's Prisoners
Movie Review: IT ISN'T THE BOOK!
Summary: 5 Stars
Oh, the movie is NOT the book?
Well, duh!
I am convinced that the only way to satisfy some reviewers of movies that are based on books would be to simply film the actual book from front cover to back - really, the physical book covers and pages. I suppose the soundtrack would be just the book being read by a narrator.
And do those reviewers each think that the mental images they personally formed while reading the book are identical to the images formed by ANY other reader of the same book!?
I am sick of reading those Amazon customer's reviews whose only REAL negative criticism of a DVD movie is that it isn't the book. Please make them smart enough to distinguish the difference between various forms of media and the constraints imposed by each. And give them a little appreciation of artistic treatment while you are at it.
This is an excellent movie. I rate it 4.5 Stars.
Regards,
Ed
Movie Review: Better then Jole Blone
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an outstanding movie-if- you know how to watch it! The Cajun life is very different from what most folks think and this flick was made to the Cajun Standard. We ain't talken Miami Vice here. Even the inbred,line bred villins did an exceptional job. Eddie Keech and Victor Ramono looked as if they were born with 8 count shrimp in their mouth. The BB King Blues music in the bars was alright but there could of been some Androux Bordoux music instead as so the movie could really live up to what they were trying to reproduce. I think all the cast did a good job (next time use some Buyoo stand-ins). Overall this movie is about the best Cajun movie around. I put it right up there with the 1974 hit "Hard Times"with Charles Bronson and Robert Tessier!
"ENJOY"
Movie Review: Slimbean says:
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent adaptation from the superb novel by James Lee Burke. The novel is the second one published (1988) about main character Dave Robicheux. Alec Baldwin as Dave positively nails the complex, achingly human character. If you saw the movie but never read the book, treat yourself by reading the book now, and then watch the movie again. Without exception, all actors cast in the movie accurately reflect their respective characters in the book. I'd love to see a movie version of "Tin Roof Blowdown," published in 2007.Movie Review: AN AUDIOPHILE VIEWER
Summary: 5 Stars
IT IS A PITY THIS DVD WAS NOT PRODUCED WITH DTS EFFECT AS I HAVE
A LASER DISC 10 YEARS AGO WHICH BROUGHT ME EXCITEMENT THROUGH STEREO SURROUND.
IN FACT ALL THE CASTS UNDER THE DIRECTORSHIP BY PHIL JOANOU WERE STUNNING.
NO DOUBT ALEC BALDWIN HAS BEEN PERFORMING EXCELLENT IN ALL ASPECTS SINCE " RED OCTOBER "
HE IS ONE OF THE GREATEST ACTORS IN THIS CENTURY NO MATTER WHAT
CRITICS SAID.
Movie Review: great movie
Summary: 5 Stars
If you like Alec Baldwin, you'll like this movie. His acting is some of his best. Also a good performance by Eric Roberts. I would have to call this a mystery, not a thriller. I found it a very enjoyable action-mystery movie. A great "popcorn movie", one that is good entertainment on those rainy afternoons when there is nothing else to do.
