The Lazarus Child (2004)
Wait for the video
This movie was very slow and unbelievable. The only reason I went to see it is because it was a free screening and one of my favorite actors, Andy Garcia, was in it. Basically, there were many problems with the film. When the little girl was in a coma and the doctor, played by Angela Bassett, sends her brother in to "bring her back", it was a bit far-fetched for the doctor to go in after them by way of hypnosis when the little girl was in a coma and the boy was perfectly healthy. Hmmm.....There were only a couple of spots where it got exciting. One was when the boy jumped into the sea because he was hallucinating about his sister and the other was when the boy got out of control in the hospital. The little boy was a phenomenal actor. I hope he gets more work.
The Man Who Wasn't There (2001)
Excellent Film!!
the cinematography alone is enough to hold the attention of all film noir fans as I myself am. the whole black and white filming is just incredible. the characters are all dry just the way i like them in that type of film. the way they speak, the fact that they don't have much of a past, the shots of certain characters just standing there with blank stares is so reminiscent of the great film noir classics of old. the use of light and dark was great. the main character was played by Billie Bob Thornton and he gives his character just the right amount of life. he looks a lot older in the film and the black & white adds to his age, it's a trip. definitely a must see.
