We had movie night this weekend here.
The fastest Indian!
Great must see if you ride motor cycles. We loved it! We laughed an cried this was a pretty wholesome film for the most part but a few cross dressing sceens might confuse youngsters. Our son clued us in on this one taken from a true life story was a hit for both of us here. Hubby’s granddad had an old Indian motor cycle so I knew this one was one he would enjoy. We LOVED this one!
Matador
This film is mislabeled / AKA mid-life crisis burnt out looser assin attempts to over come his subconscious. Yuck skip this flick. This one gets two thumbs down from our house hold.
What made it worse for me was that I kept thinking of it from a writers perspective; the author screen writer trying to eek out words, agonizing over lines rewrites and suffering through words to redeem this flick unsuccessfully.
The seedy main character of this film played by Pierce Bronson's acting was good and a departure from his 007 style but even his experience could not rescue this bad film. The title was misleading Bronson is not the matador in this movie that disappointed me.
The swearing seemed just to be in there because they could not think of any great words and get it to an R-rating. The humor was tacky, and some takes were porn, black and white strobe effects were flash back esque. This slow strained film lacked most every thing I love about a film - warm fuzzy; nope not there.
The only good thing I can say about it is the color in the first few scenes in Mexico was refreshing. I did enjoy the different cities photoged in this film it was good to see the flavor of the open markets in these places. This one gets to be on my worst Movie of 06 list for this year.
Okay I gotta ask why is it easier to write more about the reasons I did not like the one film than the ones I did like on the other one?
