Patch Town
(2014)
Amazing travel with this movie !
16 August 2015
Had amazing time watching Patchtown !
A movie which mix all kind of genres in one, and so hard to put in a "case genre" thanks to the diversity it offers. It's kind of a musical tale but dark, and in the same time touching, and with a lot of humors ! Your feelings are never settled and challenged during the whole movie and I loved that :)
Being a huge fan of Zoie Palmer, I bought and wanted watch this movie, first of all for her. She offers us again here an other side of her huge talent with the incredible performance as Bethany. And if I knew a bit some of the others actors, I discovered better in this movie their work, and discovered new ones too. Rob Ramsey is indeed so amazing and so touching (also what a singer !) as Jon, as Julian R. just brilliant .., and Suresh John made me laugh out loud whit the hilarious Sly :) And sooo happy to see the wonderful Allana H. in the cast too ! Well, just a big Bravo to the whole actors, team, crew, on the amazing movie there which is Patchtown !!
To watch and re-watch !

Cold Blooded
(2012)
Amazing ...
21 May 2013
If I had to use one word to describe this movie, it would be : HALETANT. Didn't find the perfect translation for this, but maybe the closer would be gasping, panting ? You know, this thing with your respiration, which keep your breath in suspense and give the impress to your heart that it made a marathon and it can rest for the moment cause it's not finished ..
Well, this ..
When I returned at the hostel after that (and didn't returned right after cause spent some time outside before), my heart was still beating like this, still under the emotions that this movie gave me !! It was incredible.
From the moment Frances (played by Zoie Palmer) crosses the Security guard (played by Samantha Kaine) door, you just have the impress that it's an other world behind, which is presented to her. And this feeling is accentuated with the contraste of the music : when Frances appears back, the music is pretty cool, like if the character was confident ; And after this door, little by little, the ton changes, the music too. But also the light, the atmosphere darkens. Even the character face is changing..
And I'm not going to tell you the movie to keep you the surprise and make you discover it by yourself for sure, so will going to talk now only about it in a general way.
In a general way, Jason plays a lot with this heavy atmosphere, the lights, the sound, the noises. With sometimes, accentuating it with sometime, you know these noises we only hear when there is silence in the room, during night for example, and you just focus on this little noise you never realized about it before. At home it could be the fridge noise, or the "bzzz" of the light .. Yes, this "bzzz" ... that you can hear in this movie, which keep your heart in suspense, ready to bound in the next minute. And all of these, strengthen this feeling of "Seuls au monde", (characters) cut with the rest of the world and stuck there. All together.
Cold Blooded is one of these amazing thrillers which make you want to know what will happen in the next minute, how, and take some characters by affection, and hate some others. If there are some great actions, violence, sometimes gore things, it's also well combined with some parts very well done where this silence and atmosphere could say more that words. And talking about words, my poor English made me miss some words or expressions, but it didn't impede me to understand the most of the interesting dialogues and enjoy the movie.
About the characters, I would say that EACH, offer to us here an admirable performance !
Ryan Robbins is really amazing as Cordero, he makes us smile and laugh sometimes in this heavy situation, but also he make us have some good affection to him, it's a character which we attach easily to him and I really loved his exchanges with Frances.
William MacDonald, who plays L.Holland is very remarkable in this role ! The big bad guy who is ready to everything (yes EVERYTHING !) to hit his goal .. He gave me chills, and continued to amazed me more and more along the movie, saying myself "This guy is crazy and dangerous ! better no play with him.." - Indeed, when Holland wants something, he's not going to think what is the best decision etc .. no, he plunge in the thing without think and without pity, without any feelings too. Yes, this face which let transpire nothing, no emotion .. just wow. Well done Mister.
As for Huse Madhavji and Sergio Di Zio, a big applause to these two also for their performances. I discovered Huse in "Saving Hope" and Sergio in "Flashpoint" and was really glad to see them in an other stuff ! Sergio, you just gave me more stress with your character in Cold Blooded lol, really well done.
And ... Zoie. I saw all she made as TV, show, movie, in different roles .. and she still has success to amaze me.. She offers us a Frances, very touching and very strong in same time. Sometimes shaking in front of the enemy, hesitating, but so brave that it will not make her be afraid and stop ! For me Frances is a Warrior with a big W ! She's just incredible, a character also very loyal with her job to the bitter end, and who never give up despite all she takes. The only woman, all alone in the middle of this men "sh.t". Seriously, big big big Bravo for your incredible performance Zoie ! Very impressive wow ..
So, to finish, this movie is for me a real success and a great one that I really recommend to see, and will keep you along ... "Haletant".
