Bitten (2008)
"Bitten" good !
Although is not a top movie, "Bitten" is sure worth watching.. It is a low budget movie but is hardcore of a movie which i enjoyed..
The actors are all superb and very professional in their work. Erica Cox is the beautiful vampire in the movie sure you would love to be bitten.. It exaggerates in a way the beautiful women of our times... Having a hell whole a lot of your everything in life..
This is first time i am seeing Jason Mewes in a lead role.. I think he is good as usual and has this charisma to lead a movie from beginning to end.. Mewes has always an attraction for his "naive" pure/real character where you can distract even from his acting performance.. In the movie he is a working class guy trying to be good and have a meaning in his life.. a woman, a family till he meets the vampire !
The movie as a production has this naive and amateur texture which you feel home.. Well.. can be a classic in my book.. I like it!..
Barfly (1987)
Bukowski's reflection in Barfly
Regardless the fact that Mickey Rourke is a great actor in my opinion and appreciate his acting in many movies, he was just not the right person to be in this movie.. If you know nothing about the writer and the lead character of the movie, Charles Bukowski you may like the performance of the actor and praise him. There is a scene in the movie where Charles Bukowski himself sits in the bar drinking his beer and smoking his cigarette staring at his silhouette.. In that scene it is obvious that the movie needed someone more heavy and charismatic at least as much as that man sitting in the bar... Actors should be the exaggerated forms of real people. So it is not a surprise of Charles Bukowski's condemnation of Mickey Rourke's portrayal of him (Chinaski) in the movie.
