Chris' Movie Questions: My MYSTIC RIVER Review
David In Indy:
Chris -
I love Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman, but I didn't like Se7en.
It is a deeply distrubing movie and very disgusting. :P
Many people liked this movie... I wasn't one of them.
chefjudy:
:) I saw Se7en and then almost immediately after that, The Usual Suspects - needless to say Kevin Spacey was awesome in both! and both had surprise endings which just blew me away(especially The Usual Suspects) - I am a big fan of suspense/thriller movies and both of these were incredible - dare I say the suspense was almost palpable - Se7en is much darker and intense, but the Usual Suspects was so clever and and almost lighthearted that although you never asked about it, I felt compelled to include it with my commentary on Se7en since they both have Spacey in them - can't go wrong with either of them......................
littleguitar:
I like Seven a lot, I agree with Vic's statement one hundred percent (though, the gore wasn't too much for me). Kevin Spacey's performance is chilling.
From what I hear of Zodiac, Chris, it's supposed to be very different from both Seven (despite the serial killer theme) and Fight Club. They say this film is a different move for Fincher all together...
I wanted to echo Judy's recommendation though, The Usual Suspects is a very good movie, you should see it if you haven't. Kevin Spacey is brilliant and I don't know anyone who wasn't thrown for a loop (in a good way) by the ending. This is one of my all time favorite movies :)

Ok so my next movie is The Color Purple....Steven Spielberg....1985....one of the few that goes in with a leading number of Oscar noms and leaves with zip....good?
--- End quote ---
I have to honestly report that I think The Color Purple is a bad film. It is bad in that director Steven Spielberg's excessive sentimentality betrays the seriousness of the subject matter. The film also sugar-coats the story's element of lesbianism, and elides it in an attempt to pander to the audience's assumed middlebrow tastes. Spielberg's technical expertise and a solid, talented cast fail to counterbalance the overly sentimental treatment of what remains, at its heart, a powerful story.
