Small Apartments (2012)
Good Entertainment
I have to say Knoxville does a swell job in this part, as does Crystal. Some of the most humorous lines come from him. Yes, this movie can make you uncomfortable, since watching mealy, weak people get beaten up is never too much fun, but I could sense something good was going to happen to Matt Lucas. The story isn't bad either. Though I would not go to a theater to see this, I would rent the DVD. James Caan does well with his smallish part too. I think some people really do live like this and are just as critical of their neighbors without really knowing them. I think it really is possible in some places in the world to walk around in your underwear and not really have anyone notice.
The Devil's in the Details (2013)
Poor Ray
I give Ray Liotta thumbs up for letting his hair go gray, and that's the only positive thing I can say about this one. Poor acting, choppy direction, dizzy camera work, weak plot, uninteresting characters. I cannot tell you how it ends because I FF'ed through a lot of it, and don't care. The lead actor in this seems to mug a lot and is more concerned with his looks then how he can make the stultifying dialog come to life. The interspersed scenes from one time frame to the next is a half way decent ploy in a good movie, but it's not working here. Nice to see some actors are still working though. I always wonder how can I care of feel empathy for any character in a movie, and in this movie I'm still wondering.
