DVD Reviews of Things You Can Tell Just By Looking At Her
DVD Review: great flick
Summary: 5 Stars
I rented this not knowing I had seen the last half one late night probably on IFC. Wow now I get all the connections. Really good flickDVD Review: Beautiful!
Summary: 5 Stars
Things You Can Tell Just By Looking At Her is a series of vignettes that are all somehow connected. Basically the equivalent of a really good short story collection! Each story is about 20 or so minutes long and plays out almost to a conclusion but then skips to the next story where a new character or two are focused on but characters from the previous stories also appear. I love how this fits together so neatly and creates a whole world. So after all the characters have been introduced and their stories have begun it all comes full circle at the end and most (but not all) come to a conclusion of sorts.
Of the 5 vignettes, I had two favorites, Someone For Rose and Love Waits For Kathy. Someone For Rose is so sweet, I think I squealed when I was watching it. It's the story of shy Kathy, the mother of a teenage son. One day a man moves in across the street and she finds herself really drawn to him but doesn't really know how to act around him. I don't want to say anymore than that. In Love Waits For Kathy, Kathy is the older sister of Carol, who is blind. They live together and you can sort of tell that Kathy has put her sister's happiness in front of her own. While Carol goes out on dates Kathy, who is a detective, works on the case of a suicide of someone she once knew.
So I got this one because I saw something about it somewhere, no idea what and I love star studded power casts. It blew me away! I guess I shouldn't be surprised because of who is in this movie but I still was. This came out in 2000 so maybe it was before I paid a ton of attention to movies because I had never heard of it until recently! I'm so glad I found it!
DVD Review: Choppy
Summary: 2 Stars
I loved the cast, some of the acting was rough. The story line was choppy and didn't flow well or back to itself. If you like a collection of short stories without a beginning, middle or end; you'll enjoy this.DVD Review: I wonder what time dwarves go to bed?
Summary: 4 Stars
Way better than I expected
When my wife brought this home, I looked it over and thought I was in for a long night. The emotional troubles of women, the shallow men who flirt and dump, the oppresive this, the glass-ceiling that. Well, did I get a surprise. My male, againg, Christian soul received a bit of a shake.
This film is indeed about women who've made some bad choices. And are in the process of realizing it. Some do better after this realization, some, apparently, do not. Much like real life. Those wake up calls often get the snooze for many years. We allow ourselves to be fooled because we need the affection, the praise, the prestige, or the glory. And find ourselves feeling used, ignored, or humiliated. But far too often the way we cleanse that soiled feeling is to do the same over again. Ask the domestic violence counselor who's seen the same woman in multiple abusive relationships. She knows better. He knows she knows better. Yet the alarm is turned off repeatedly.
There are many small jewels in this film. To reveal too much would spoil a carefully crafted tale. But this is a film intelligently at odds with the lifestyle portrayed in most cinema, where "I am the most important person" and "I need to follow my heart" and "I need to be funny and cool and hip and ironic and cynical." These are normal people who have lived mostly normal lives and found themselves somewhere other than where they'd like to be.
DVD Review: Things I'd Never Have Seen Except Through Luck
Summary: 5 Stars
The reviews available here do a great job whetting the appetite of those who haven't seen this remarkable film, so I'll keep my comments short. In this movie, and in his Nine Lives, Rodrigo Garcia gives us more dramatic substance,insight, and pleasure in any single 10- or 20-minute segment than we can find, nine times out of ten, in the standard industry
"blockbuster" of whatever length. I found these by pure luck, and am astonished by my good fortune.
Description of Things You Can Tell Just By Looking At Her
Touching, compelling and original, Things You Can Tell Just by Looking at Her spins a brilliant tapestry of interwoven vignettes. Starring OscarÂ(r) winner* Holly Hunter, five-time OscarÂ(r) nominee** Glenn Close, Golden GlobeÂ(r) Winner Calista Flockhart ("Ally McBeal") and Golden GlobeÂ(r) nominees Cameron Diaz (Charlie's Angels), Amy Brenneman ("Judging Amy") and Kathy Baker ("Picket Fences"), this "really special film" ("Ebert & Roeper and the Movies") is an absolute "triumph" (Mirabella). In the heart of L.A., six extraordinary women have come to an emotional crossroads: a talented young detective (Brenneman) struggles with loneliness, an ambitious bank manager (Hunter) contemplates motherhood and a successful doctor (Close) confronts her spiritual emptiness. At the same time, a blind teacher (Diaz) searches for love, a middle-aged writer (Baker) grapples with prejudice and a gifted fortune-teller (Flockhart) grieves for her dying lover. Poised between fear and hope, each woman must weigh the choices she's madein order to meet the future unfolding before her.General DVDs
