Mann V. Ford (2010)
Heart string puller
When I tuned in this documentary, i was using it as ambient noise. But I quickly stopped what I was doing and started paying attention. The illegal and deliberate dumping of toxic chemicals by Ford completely destroyed an entire isolated community. This film goes through the entire background of the children who grew up playing amongst the mountains of unknown poisons. The effects it had on the rest of surrounding areas. And the decades of continuous intentional cover ups by both the large corporations and government agencies. Injustice is shown til the very end. Some times you think "There is no God"
The Menu (2022)
Not bad to fall asleep to...
I don't know what I expected when I went to see this. Yes I did. I didn't want to leave the theater feeling like I wasted my time trusting Hollywood yet again. But they didn't fail. What started so promising and intriguing, turned into a nightmare you just wanted to be over. And not because it was scary or thrilling, but just purely ridiculous.
Only rewatching this train wreck over and over again during sleepless, tossing and turning endeavors at home, can I truly appreciate the fact that the first hour is interesting enough to relax me into a deep sleep before the catastrophe of its finale disrupting another moment.
The Whale (2022)
Not a "Feel good" movie!
I cannot explain what mood you should be in, to truly appreciate this film. But its definitely not the typical trash that hollywood has been churning out lately. Be ready with a pocketfull of tissues.
What starts as a slow low budget drama, begins to get uncomfortable halfway in and continues to pick up emotional steam as it goes on. Last time I remember a movie with such impact while basically filming its entirety in one room was "Glengary Glen Ross". And that one was packed with stars. Frazier carries the load in this one.
Intense. Well worth the ticket price. Brendan should see an award this year.
