Daddy's Little Girl (II) (2014)

IF you liked "The Room"

[2/10 · 8 April 2014]

I am in the middle of reading "The Disaster Artist" by Greg sestero.

I was trying to think of another movie with such seriousness but such stupid diologue, bad acting and plot holes.

Then thought of this movie I watched a few weeks back.

If you like the room you will get a bit of a giggle out of this for how bad it is, but also it is very gory, but the gore though it is done well is wasted on a poor story and bad direction.

What the hell did those cameras in the brothers house have to do with anything? Who was that guy on the couch talking like he is a doctor? and the plot holes go on, have fun picking them.

You have been warned.

If you want to watch a real father revenge movie try "the Horseman"

Three Dollars (2005)

Prepare to be dissatisfied

[2/10 · 9 April 2013]

I watched this movie for a second time tonight, the first time was when it was released at the cinema. I have a very good memory, but when I came across this in the library I knew I had seen it but could not remember anything about it except for a few minor details.

It turns out the reason I could not remember the story is that there is no story. Story's begin to develop but then get forgotten, by the end of the movie, you are left feeling that there was no point at all. The last half hour feels extremely forced and the previous hour or so spends to much time in the past rather than setting up the ending.

Sure, movies don't always have to follow the three act structure, but they need to be good in some aspect, perhaps amazingly shot, or fantastic dialogue, something.

David was the one shining light, as he always gives a great performance, but towards the end, you feel his character is wondering what the point of this movie is just as the viewer is.

If that was the directors intent , then brilliant, unfortunately, it was not.

The Ian Curtis impersonation on the dance floor is fantastic!
