Szép napok (2002)
Excellent Foreign Film
I saw this movie at the Toronto Film Festival and I was surprised at the grittiness of it. It is a raw look at the lives of 3 people in a town in Hungary. The name of the movie is so unlike the subject of the movie. The story is well written, and the characters are pretty true to the type of area that they are living in. From beginning to the end the film holds you and you can't let go.
POSSIBLE SPOILER...........................
Some scenes are unpleasant to watch, some are just weird. At the end you are totally shocked at the whole outcome.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Even with the subtitles the movie is easy to follow.
Unfaithful (2002)
Best of 2002
I saw this movie and its one of Adrian Lyne's best works. You never know what is about to happen, he fills the screen with other events to look at.
Diane Lane is amazing as the wife who has an affair, look for her name to come up in the Oscars. Olivier Martinez is good as the lover. Coupled with the music, the movie is given a creepy feeling to it.
***** out of *****
Nick of Time (1995)
A good movie, but. . . .
I really enjoyed the movie, but one thing irritated me about it.
Possible spoiler . . . .
When Johnny Depp is talking to Dutton while he is getting his shoes shined and is revealing what is happening, Christopher Walken is always watching him yet never suspects that he is summoning help. Earlier someone was killed for trying to help Depp. When Depp and Walken are at Dutton's shoe stand he reveals all (believing Depp when he says Dutton is deaf). Even though he kills indiscriminately earlier, I thought this is a really stupid thing to do.
