Hold the Dark (2018)
Only out of boredom
The title of my review is the reason to watch this film. You can go the bathroom, make a sandwich, talk to a friend on the phone simultaneously this movie takes so long to unravel and when it does you feel like you've just finished a bad meal at a poor diner. It's rife with gore and senseless death. It starts off with a murderous lying bitch of a mom blaming a wolf. It ends with a murderous lying bitch of a dad who is a psycho. There are psycho witches, psycho villages, nutty Indians, etc. It's like Fellini on meth. The only sure thing you come out at the end with is a larger fear of strangers, any city less than 100,000, Inuits, Native Americans, and ex GIs who've served in the Middle East. Seems like the writers and producers took a bunch of today's news stories that were sensational and pasted them all together. Great for bad dreams and bad tastes in mouths. Lingers like a plane crash. All one can ponder is 'why'? If this is where we are as a race, global warming is a good thing after all.
Butterflies Are Free (1972)
Nothing is free in life.
If he weren't a drop dead handsome blind man, would Goldie have anything to do with him? Nay, I say!! Miss Superficial of 1972 posing as a free spirit doesn't come out as herself until her 80s films where she shows her materialistic and conniving sides. I think it was generally poorly cast. There was little magic here.
