The Limits of Control (2009)
Slowly building up to be a cinematic master piece...I give it a 6 :(
Jim Jarmuch made some wonderful films. Even though there is almost no dialogue, you cannot be sure of what's happening and none of the characters are really developing, I was never bored and my curiosity grew with the minute...in the end though, my wish was ignored.
I enjoyed the quality of filming and the feel this movie carries. But after two hours hoping and expecting something would happen...it doesn't! 116 minutes of great film making...but surely not a very good movie as a whole!!!!
The 6 out of 10 is due to some nice pictures and due to me being a fan of the genre. If you're not a fan I wouldn't recommend it!
Wuthering Heights (2009)
Haven't read the novel? Go watch the movie!!!
First of all, I want to submit this review only because of another review I read about this movie, where the person who wrote it grades the movie with a two out of ten. Mostly because the original story (it's based on a novel) in his/her opinion was much better and furthermore the acting (again, his/her opinion) wasn't up to standard. Luckily I was bored and curious and started the movie anyway. Not expecting great acting, good directing and well built storytelling. Not even expecting to see it all the way to the end, as I'm not really a fan of the 'love story' genre.
After a few minutes it was clear though. The review I read was not meant for me, or anyone else who hasn't read the book!! And let's be honest, even though it's admirable to read your classics and I would recommend everyone to pick up a book every now and then...how many of the IMDb members would there be, who have read the 1847 (!!!) novel?? I think.......not many!
Having said that, I'll now write my review and I'll keep it short to avoid spoiling your fun. Acting, directing, production, screen writing, plot...well, the movie altogether: it was compelling, surprising, fascinating and never a bore... IT WAS GREAT!!!
So if you like love stories, love love stories, or even hate love stories...go and see this great mini-series!!!
Have fun!!!
