Movie Review: HOT ICE SCREAM
Summary: 5 Stars
HOT = Alan Rickman is my favorite actor for more reasons than there is space to write. Having said that, if you have never heard of him, I can promise you that you will be amazed. It must have something to do with his connection in aiding autism awareness. His character has quite alot of baggage, but he still manages to care. Thoughts & Deeds are essential.
ICE = Sigourney Weaver's performance in this film is astounding. She makes a real connection by disconnecting. You know that feeling you get when ice stays on your tongue too long? It burns! That's how it is watching her. Cold & hot all at the same time.
SCREAM = There are many screams in this film and not all audible. You'll understand if you buy it (or rent it). My internal screaming was what grabbed me with this film. I found myself wrenching in moments of their turmoil & sadness. Then, in the next scene, laughing & elated by the true interaction these actors brought to us through fantastic writing & direction.
Movie Review: A Gem
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this movie on PPV and had been waiting for it a long time. I initially wanted to see it because of Alan Rickman (Alec). He was wonderful as usual, but his real genius in this film was to sit back and let Sigourney Weaver (Linda) play off of him. Not that Rickman didn't have his moments, but Weaver was really outstanding. In one scene, Alec is sobbing uncontrollably and Linda looks at him quizzically and asks if there is something wrong with the tea. That's just one little gem of a scene.
Don't look for romantic fireworks or a dramatic ending in this movie. It's just the story of three people with their own secrets brought together by a tragic event. I found myself drawn into their lives, as they were drawn into each other's lives.
Once you see this movie, you will understand why I say it was "dalzious."
Movie Review: If you care about movies, watch this one
Summary: 5 Stars
Every once in a while a movie comes along that is practically perfect, and this is one of those times. Aside from some annoyingly trendy hand-held camera work during the first five minutes of the movie, it doesn't put a foot wrong. All of the actors (even the minor supporting cast) turn in performances to be proud of: under-stated yet touching and convincing at all times. The camera work, once it settles down, is likewise understated but generally just right for each scene and moment. The script is spare and humor is cleverly used to underscore the poignancy. This is a real movie about real people, without a special effect in sight. The longer you watch, the more you want to see. If you want to see a grown-up movie for grown-up people, please watch this sparkling little gem.Movie Review: The must-see drama of the year!
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie was fascinating and full of little surprises that made me laugh and cry alternately. One of the unique aspects of Snow Cake is that the cast is made up of sci-fi/action heavyweights! Sigourney Weaver is all too used to dousing slimy aliens with flamethrowers; Alan Rickman generally chews scenery as the sorcerer Severus Snape; and Carrie-Anne Moss will go down in history as the leather-clad, cool-shades-donning femme fatale of the Matrix trilogy. Yet here we get to see an overwhelmingly tender and subtle side to these actors, who are all absolutely brilliant in a small drama as well as their usual big box office outings. I urge anyone who has an interest in the human condition to watch this movie.
Movie Review: Dazzlious!
Summary: 5 Stars
**NO SPOILER REVIEW**
I have just seen this film last night and it is a tear jerker! (even on the small screen which says a lot!) Alan Rickman plays the part of a man recently released from prison who is very introspective. His path crosses that of a young girl who is totally the opposite and a chain of events happen that leads him to the town of WAWA to meet her mother (wonderfully acted by Sigourney Weaver), who is autistic. Carrie-Anne Moss is the other character, a neighbor, involved in the story as well. This movie is about mental healing and how we can deal with loss ...and just appreciating life and people in our lives, whoever we may come across . Exceptional acting by everyone in the cast.
