Papa Hemingway in Cuba (2015)
Sad end to an Adventurer/lover/writer's life
This is a story of how Hemmingway reached out to a writer in his elder years from Havana. The purpose was so the youthful writer would inspire his love for romance and adventure. Giovanni Ribisi did a great job portraying the writer, who inevitably did not re-invigorate or inspire Hemmingway but rather liked Hemmingway's always drunk and nude wife and drove the master author to his grave with a sour outlook.
Savages (2012)
Poor content
Oliver Stone, Beno, and Travolta were great, but anyone outside of teenage-southern-Californians will find this hard to watch. Glorifying the fact that Southern California is the new Amsterdam is not an award but a black-eye. Returning servicemen are used as cartel enforcers for surfer-pot-heads and the female lead is your all-too-typical mommy never listened to me brat. There are multiple endings which after you see the first, just get up and leave. That is the true happy ending from the other 49 states POV. (IMO)This was recognizable as an Oliver Stone picture with the editing imagery but the difference between his old works and today seem to be how he lost his edge to make actors look like "good" actors. Take Charlie in Platoon. Blake and Selma looked horrible.
