Good Deeds (2012)
A person finding a path they want
The premise of Good Deeds, had solid depth with some light-hearted overtones. The storyline was well paced, and easy to watch.
Thandie Newton's role had a bit of meat too it, which made the movie. Her 'simple' character pulls you in.
Great to see a relatively strong black cast (typically a tall order to deliver), and of course Mrs Huxtable!
I noted some low scores on IMDb, I would not be so fast to sweep it under the carpet. A mature look at love hides somewhere in Good Deeds.
Watching a movie about choosing the right path. Finding the type of love you want, can be good for the soul.
Lola rennt (1998)
This movie I felt was ahead of it's time. Brilliant, to me!
I very much appreciated how Run Lola Run was written. It is rare these days, (2012) to see a movie with a strong script. It is a memorable movie to me.
Run Lola Run starts upbeat & bouncy, but the storyline moves quickly into a meaty plot that continues to pulled you in.
It sounds pretentious, but clearly it is critical to me, to watch with subtitles of your choice. Otherwise the characters are hollow.
I highly recommend people to catch this, if anyone enjoys an action and a solid story.
Secretly my most favourite movie.
