Safety Not Guaranteed (2012)
Very enjoyable level comedy.
This was a very relaxing enjoyable movie in the sense it didn't let parts of the sub plots to take away too much from the main plot as i've seen many Hollywood movies do. It's written mainly as a comedy and stays fairly true which is one in about 200 movies these days.
Very refreshing for a movie to rely on mostly acting and not too many special affects to convey the story line. Reminds me of some great 70's movies and some 60's.
Note: The story line isn't original by any means; but the movie moves along smoothly and has fun characters that the non-original plot can be easily overlooked.
Highly recommend for someone looking for a feel good comedy without being whacked out or being too serious.
James Ellroy's Feast of Death (2001)
Extremely boring and narcissistic commentary.
I've seen very few movies/documentaries that have been this boring along with such big egos who think they know how killers think. It's like sitting drinking at a bar where people are plastered and speaking out of there rear like they know all there could be known.
At one point in the movie the person who lost his Mother by murder when he was 10 years old tries to speak for all surviving people of murdered loved ones; very narrow vision to categorize all people the same. Later in this commentary this person also states that other persons view points are misconceptions; but his views and writings are brilliant master pieces; talk about a huge ego.
I watched this hoping there would be something good at the end (not unlike a bad horror movie); but not to happen.
If you are someone who likes to listen to other peoples narrow opinions without acknowledging persons view points outside of their group; this may be the documentary for you.
