Tempted (2001)
Intriguing
Well,as i don't have a TV yet in my new place i rent movies pretty much and i picked Tempted today. The combination of Burt Reynolds and Saffron Burrows in the same movie made me wonder how it would be like and the story looked interesting so i had a go and must say i quite liked it...In fact i think i want to see it again to have a closer look at it but so far so good. It's one of those movies where you need to scratch your head to fully understand the motivation of the characters and after you see it, you are still trying to figure it out:why did he/she do that? The whole cast is interesting but i must say that Burt Reynolds was a surprise as we don't see him that often in movies anymore and it's disturbing me.. but i still don't know if it's in a good or bad way... His character in the movie being obsessive might as well fit the fact that we are not used to see him acting that way.. Saffron Burrows's character Lilly is enigmatic and as far as i am concerned she does a pretty good job. And Peter Facinelli is the victim in all this. Never saw him before but he convinced me pretty much even tho i was also distracted by his good look..
What i liked about the movie and makes it interesting is the improvisation of the actors.It's unusual and hard,so i give an A+ for that.
The movie was shot in New-Orleans,it gives a mysterious and dangerous aura to it..Seems like you can feel the moisture if you know what i mean..
Well,see it for yourself is my advice,you might be amazingly surprised.
Gattaca (1997)
Our future?
Gattaca is most probably one of my favourite futuristic movie. The future depicted in the movie is not that far away from us and quite scarry,what if science takes over fate? Gattaca is a brilliant movie,Jude Law and Ethan Hawke are very convincing in their own character,one is reaching for his dream while the other one is on the descending rope and that's where they meet and make the best of their lives.. The scenario is clever,the cast is right and i also love the cut of the scenes and the light...
All in all i have nothing wrong to say about Gattaca and recommend it to everyone who has not seen it yet...
