Movie night...


Had to wonderful pleasure of watching two as-yet-unreleased films the other night: ALL THE BOYS LOVE MANDY LANE and WRISTCUTTERS: A LOVE STORY.

I had heard plenty about both these films over the past few years, so it was nice to finally see them.

MANDY LANE. First thing of note is the better-than-average cinematography. That caught my eye. As did the stunning lead who plays Mandy. The movie opens up pretty predictably and quickly falls into a by-the-numbers second act. It's definitely not the movie I would have made given the setup. HOWEVER, when everything comes together in the third act, it almost ALMOST makes up for the rest. It reminded me a bit of the first SAW, in the way that the story structure plays out. Not the "twist" per se, but just that the predictableness of the second act is purposeful as a way of misleading the audience.

WRISTCUTTERS. Wow. By the time we got to this one, I was MORE than a little Unsober(tm). I knew very very little about this movie and so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. Very quirky movie. Definitely on it's way to being a cult film. I liked it a lot. It's definitely one to see to understand. And hey, it's got Tom Waits in it, so that's always a plus.
