Pollock (2000)
Pollock
Wonderful drama about the life of the breakthrough painter of the modern era. Ed Harris gives a masterful performance and is as believable in both looks and actions as Kirk Douglas was a Van Gogh. WHile I have always enjoyed the paintings of Jackson Pollock yet knew little of the man behind them. AFter viewing this movie, I felt like I was there to watch him paint. I highly recommend this for all art lovers, of any media. The only criticism I have of that the plot sometimes stalls and you just wish the movie would move on. However this does not happen often, and certainly will not take away your enjoyment of the film.
Where Angels Fear to Tread (1991)
Like stepping back in time
The first time I watched this movie I kept saying to myself.. this movie seems so familiar.. Then I realized that I had read the book the summer before.. This is a great credit to the screenwriter and director as the story is followed precisely and each page is brought to life on the screen.. A must for Forester fans, Anglophiles or those who want to enjoy a true tale of human souls intertwined. The prejudices and self importance of the English upper class are superbly charactered by all.. You'll laugh , cry and wonder at their actions.. You will become part of them... This is definitely one that I will be adding to my "Sunday Night Movie and Tea" collection.
