Capitalism: A Love Story (2009)
Daring and Informative - A great film
Another great, informative film from Moore. This subject matter was long long over due. He tackled it masterfully bringing a lot of dirt to the surface for the audience to see. Even though the subject matter is quite serious he masterfully manages to keep it entertaining. and that is necessary b/c in this day and age people's attention span is quiet short and if they are not moved or entertained they could lose interest. He keeps it serious, he keeps it informative, he keeps it creative, emotional and funny. He brings real people to the scene to avoid the film to become dry and statistical or turn into a financial documentary. He relies son people's stories to bring life an demotion to the film. This is the style an approach that Moore has successfully employed in all his films.
Road of No Return (2009)
Loved it – Maybe more Doctors should write screenplays
I really liked this film. Real slick dialogue and likable characters. It reminded me of Pulp Fiction. Thought the story needed a bit more work and emphasis on drug trafficking but overall really good film. In particular I liked the encounters between the four hit men and how they all come around. It is really a story of coming face to face with your own demons and redeeming yourself. Carradine was really good so as the little girl and the hit men. One of the reviewers mentioned that the screenwriter is a doctor of some sort. If that's the case I hope more doctors write screenplays b/c I thought the lines were really smart and refreshing. If you can, see it in English b/c some of its effects will be surely lost in translation.
