The Dirt (2019)
Everything A Good Movie Should Be!
I loved the movie because it truly takes you out of your own world for 2 hours and runs the whole gamut of emotions. It's hilarious, wild, funny, sad, gritty, dark and a really great throwback to the 80's and the wild ride that is, always has been and forever will be Mötley Crüe. Out of all their peers, they are the only band that has stood the test of time and can still sell out arenas. And, for a reason! The movie's based on their NY Times bestselling biography by the same name and considering how jam-packed that book is with sheer unbelievable debauchery and incredible tales, the movie covers A LOT of ground, and -best of all- stays really true to the book. This is definitely not a sterilized version of the book but it portrays a specific era and the way things were back then - good, bad, ugly and most importantly, real.
The casting is spot on as well. It's also a cautionary tale of what can happen to yourself, your families and friends when you take the lifestyle of sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll over the top the way these guys did. I have yet to meet someone who saw the movie and didn't love it...so HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Also makes for an excellent viewing party with your friends on a weekend.
Angel's Perch (2013)
Refreshingly different !
Set in beautiful southern landscape & picturesque small town scenery this is quite a different movie from what you see all the time. It's not loud or fast... rather introspective & with a lot of subtlety. It makes you take a break from hectic daily life for a moment & reflect.
The story is told in a very soulful way laced with heartwarming southern charm and humor (Ally Walker - brilliant).
Most importantly, it's a very real glimpse into the reality of Alzheimer's Disease in a way that I wasn't familiar with & found very profound.
The humanity shown throughout the movie is touching & refreshing at the same time.
Well worth watching. Thumbs up !
