Light of My Life (2019)
Watched during Covid19
Watched this 12/27/2020. For these trying times this film is a poignant reminder of what could happen to society right now if we are not very careful. I have lived my life being ready to "bug out" if necessary, believe me this is not a fun thing to do. Even for someone with extended experience in the wilderness, this would not be a easy life. Please stay safe out there and listen to the medical experts, and keep tabs on what is going on. Bugging out is not some hollywood fantasy!
The Missing (2003)
Close to home
Being a native Native New Mexican, and having read several of the "Teaching of Don Juan" series of books this movie struck a deep cord in my psyche. I have backpacked and day hiked extensively here in this beautiful state. From the deep mountain wilderness, to the areas where this movie was filmed. I can really relate to what it must have been like in the early days of settlement, and the conquest of the Indian lands. The way they portrayed the brujo was quite well done, though not all brujos are evil but some are, just as some (normal) humans are. Of course the existence of these people is debatable, it was very important part of the film. Needless to say the film was violent, so were times in which the story took place.
Dead Man's Burden (2012)
Waste of film!
The only good thing about this movie are the filming locations. Otherwise don't waste your time. Love the Ghost ranch Abiquiu filming location, drive through there a few times a year, on our way to Pagosa Springs. Stop a couple of miles north of there to let the dogs go potty! (road to the Christ in the desert Monastery). Someone actually called it a "deep, thought provoking, passionate film!" Wow.
The Ridiculous 6 (2015)
Just not able to watch
This is the second time we have started this movie, thought we remembered it, got to the part (I don't know how, in a tired stupor I guess) with all the holes dug in the ground. I am a New Mexico native and know the area where the filming was taking place,it just sacrilegious to even go to this place and film this trash! Shame on everyone involved!! You all should be ashamed.
