Loggerheads (2005)
Simply Beautiful
I can't say enough about this film! It is simply beautiful to watch, although the pacing may be a bit slow for mainstream audiences.
The writing brilliantly weaves three different (yet connected) stories told over three separate time periods. If you pay attention, it will not be hard to follow and the emotional pay off is worth it. The acting is so subtle it draws you in and keeps hold of you until the very end. The cinematographer overwhelms the screen with gorgeous shots of the ocean and sunsets you can practically feel the mists off the waves and the heat from the sun.
If you like films that focus on character development over big budgets and hyper action sequences, this film is not to be missed.
Bark! (2002)
Praise for "BARK!"
I saw this movie on Showtime tonight for the first time. I wanted to see it because I am a huge fan of "OZ" and Lee. I really came to enjoy this film and I think over time and seeing it again, I may come to love it. This movie makes a powerful statement about a person's right to be happy even if they are mentally handicapped. I also loved the message that being odd or strange shouldn't limit the friends and family you should have. Our society is so quick to medicate people when they feel they can no longer "deal" with their problems. When Lucy's husband refused to keep her medicated because she turned into a zombie, I understood his decision. This movie mixed comedy with drama a created one unique film that may not be for everybody.
