Movie Diary 2012: April

Black comedy as a genre is really hard to do well, but this film makes it look so easy.

I can't help but love this film. It's an epic homage to cinema and so beautiful in every aspect of the film. I'm just... in love.

Considering the plot, this really didn't do it for me. And it was insanely long. BUT what really is awesome about this movie is that it has one of the greatest casts I've seen. Every character felt relevant and interesting and the cast completed those characters.

This is just as brilliant as the original. And I loved all the small details like having Mitchum and Peck in minor roles. Also every little detail that DeNiro clearly did to reach the best possible performance as Cady. I mean I already thought Mitchum's performance was so chilling, so when I saw DeNiro in this role...damn. Such dedication.

This is the best Finnish movie I've seen, since The Year Of The Hare. Kukkonen is the man, "BOOZE, CIGARETTES, SEX!"

There really was great deal of potential in this film. But by the end it got a bit... well, disappointing. Otherwise the film was nice and a fun package of entertainment.
