DVD Reviews of In Cold Blood

DVD Review: Best Vresion of all.
Summary: 5 Stars

There are two movies with the title In "Cold Blood" and at least three about Truman Capote. This is the best of the lot. The first, black and white version portrayed the killers as victims (becasue they were executed) and the family killed as an inconvenience. The Capote movies were more about Capote then the crime and one got the impression that he, himself, as a gay man, was victimized. This movie, treats the real crime victims as a family whose lives were needlessly snuffed out by two psychotic killers in a meaninless act of cruelity. It is also a good police drama, especially since it does not rely on cheap tricks like car chases, gun fights, big chested bimbos or obsenities every couple of words. I highly recommnend it.

DVD Review: "In Cold Blood" Freezes Interest
Summary: 1 Stars

This movie is a complete waste of time. This represents the worst of film making in the 1990's: "realism" as portrayed by black-and-white traumatic flashbacks, dull plodding dialogue, and unbelievably eccentric characters, coupled with the fashionable cultural depression so glorified in the era of grunge. Sam Neill's fake, horrible American accent brings to mind the 80's epithet, "Gag me with a spoon." It seems as though the theme of the movie is a kind of historical revisionism of post-WWII American culture, showing the dark underbelly of a culture so happy on the surface, but it is blatantly overdone. Note to Eric Roberts: you are no musician, my friend, don't quit your day job.

DVD Review: Cold blood
Summary: 3 Stars

Some repeats are not as good as the original - this was one of them.

DVD Review: Tragic Mind-bender
Summary: 5 Stars

In Cold Blood was a movie you had to pay close attention to so that you could understand what was going on & why, but not too difficult to do so that you couldn't enjoy the movie. It was tragic that innocent people had to die because of a couple of losers. Being innocent & trusting cost them, I believe. The movie was well made & explained the true-to-life story very good. The settings for the time period, etc. were well done & the acting was very good, with many emotional scenes, both sad & happy.
In Cold Blood is well worth watching!

DVD Review: TV DOESN'T QUITE MAKE IT WORK
Summary: 3 Stars

This tv miniseries from 1996 seems to be an unnecessary remake of the classic film starring Robert Blake and Scott Wilson.
Although the teleplay does give us more background on the Clutter family and the killers themselves, it's done in such a turgid and lethargic style, it's hard to hold your interest.
Eric Roberts and Anthony Edwards are to be commended for their passionate performances,but atempt to elicit sympathy for them demeans the horrible crime they committed. Sam Neill gamely plays the federal agent who tracks them down and there are some nice cameos from Bethel Leslie, Stella Stevens and Gwen Verdon. Kevin Tighe as Mr. Clutter, however, doesn't have the acting chops to carry off his role.
All in all, it's decently done but pales in comparison to its original source and is nowhere near as good as CAPOTE.
