This Wretched Life (2010)
What A Great Movie! See This ASAP!
What an extremely thought provoking and original movie this is. The story, acting and dialogue are far superior to a lot of movies with big names and big bucks. In fact, I can not think of another movie that exposes mental disorder in a more realistic manner. The soundtrack, which is filled with many unknown gems, works wonderfully throughout the picture start to finish; I hope it becomes available on CD or itunes one day. If you're a fan of filmmakers like Quentin Tarantino, David Lynch, Darren Aronofsky, Paul Thomas Anderson, Jim Jarmusch, Gus Van Sant, Stanley Kubrick, etc, you will most definitely enjoy this movie by Frankie J. Mosca. This movie will have you laughing and crying at the same time, and wishing it wasn't over in the end. Sequel Frankie? Take a break from the monotony of mainstream movie making and get your hands on this movie ASAP. This Wretched Life is destined to be an underground classic. 10 Stars!
Krazy Kat (1962)
Krazy Kat
I am 51 years old and grew up watching Krazy Kat. It is based on George Herriman's original comic strip that began in 1913 and was first aired on TV in 1962 by King Features Syndicate. As a kid it was one of my favorite cartoons and was very popular. That just shows you how much times have changed. It is about a male sadistic mouse (Ignatz)that hits Krazy Kat (female Kat) in the head with bricks all the time and she thinks it is his sign of undying love. Writing that now, something seems sooo "not right" but back then we thought it to be completely normal for her to be in love with someone that consistently abused her. It was what we kids thought as cute and funny and we really believed that he loved her. The Krazy Kat Kartoon Kollection is available from Amazon on DVD and it has over three hours of Krazy Kat Kartoons on it. I LOVE IT!!!!
One Year in a Life of Crime (1989)
One year in the life of crime truly realistic
Sixteen years ago when "One Year in the Life of Crime" came out I remember being shocked that the movie industry would allow a film so gritty and real to come out. This is a true anti-drug film. If you haven't already used this will make you think twice (if you've got a brain). Having thirty years of heroin addiction behind me (in recovery now, but not then) "One Year" shows some of the heartache, loss, sadness & emptiness many addicts feel each day. The only time happiness is fleetingly felt is on the way home from the dealer and even that can be thwarted by the police. The film shows the daily lives of three main characters: Freddy, Rob and Mike and the people in their circle of life. Although Mike seems to be more of an alcoholic than a drug addict he is the only one I didn't feel a connection to. That has more to do with his beating his pregnant girlfriend and taking all her money for his own. His addiction is separate from him being a creep and a scumbag. I truly came to like Freddy and Rob and it was much easier to look past their imperfections and shortcomings than it was Mike's. Anyone looking for "real" TV should come here. You will come away much the wiser about addiction and what it does to a person each day. When Part 2 came out I was surprised both Freddy and Rob were still alive(Rob died July 5th,2002). The deterioration of their lives was immediately apparent. It saddened me but that is how "the life" is. See both.
