The Canyons (2013)
Schrader Returns
Unfortunately this film has been packaged all wrong, it really isn't a thriller, nor is it really about Linsey Lohan supposedly being sexy or having sex scenes. Why it is getting such negative reviews is perhaps a sign that it is being taken in the wrong context. This is film about madness, insecurity, insane relationships, infidelity -- yes there is some sex, yes there is some murder, yes there is debatable scenes that could have been cut, but the film hits points that usually make up a masterpiece; you think, you reflect, you question -- major points that are lost in most of today's sequel films and money makers. Schrader is old school and deserves to be taken with the weigh of what he has done before. The cinematography is incredible too. Why this film is getting 20 percent at RT and 4/10 in IMDb makes me concerned any film that dares to throwback to 70s/80s styles of movie-making are doomed. It's a risky film, takes chances, and imprints moments, something most films today can hardly do
Marley (2012)
Inspiring
Loved the film, have been waiting for a film like this for years. I was surprised to learn new things, as well as inspired by the elements of the females within the band and of course, the music.
As a guitar player, it made me want to learn reggae guitar , thankfully a friend gifted me a cool app for learning reggae (http://appshopper.com/music/reggae-guitar).
Hope the film has extras on the DVD or follow ups due to fans interest. I would have liked to hear more about the origins of famous tunes and more live performances. If i were to give the film a rating out of 10 stars, i would have to give the film a 10 star rating! very enjoyable and thank you for looking!
