Hellraiser: Hellworld (2005)
Well written and played
I found this a refreshing change of pace for the Hellraiser series. After Hellraiser Bloodline, each of the new additions to the series have been different and capable of standing on their own as a story and this one is no exception. The actors play the parts they need to in an acceptable to better than average fashion and the story unfolds at a good pace which leads to an unexpected climax. I wonder at some of the commentary left about this film-- I wonder if the people who slammed it so heavily really understood it. As for me- this was an unexpectedly good addition to the Hellraiser series. If you are a devotee of Hellraiser, you owe it to yourself to ignore some of the negative reviews and just see and judge this one for yourself. 10 stars for an inventive and original storyline.
Requiem for a Dream (2000)
Message is very clear: use=lose.
I would like to send my condolences to the person(s) who thought this movie condoned the use of drugs. Please try watching the movie again and see the reality portion, as opposed to the fantasy portion. I can't imagine how much more obvious the director of this movie could have been. I'm not a genius, but I caught the messages each time they were sent: everyone who used or sold drugs ended up losing. Losing a girlfriend and an arm, or losing sanity, or dignity. Degradation, humiliation, pain, suffering, loss, loss, loss. Does it have to reach out and smack you in the face? How could anyone miss the message of this movie--- or misinterpret the message? Best wishes, my friend--- but you really missed the entire point of this movie: those who use, or sell, lose- period. The movie, and it's message, rate 10 out of 10. Wake up America.
