Eh, fuck being awake. And meh, I meant Last Night re the hubby and wife. Sandra Oh and Cronenberg's characters - the film only revealed them being husband and wife through the phone message from the gas company she listens to towards the end and her mentioning she loves strawberry ice cream and him eating it before he meets his (semi-) untimely death. And on the imdb boards, so many poeple didn't get that!
Suspicious River - I feel the same. I want to rewatch certain scenes, but not sure I can sit through the whole thing again. It just makes me feel so uncomfortable, which I guess the film meant me to, so it succeeded in that. But man, CKR's character is like the poster boy for abusive boyfriends and this is the film that portrays it in a believable way without making the woman the unsuspecting victim. As it takes two to tango, but there is so much more involved that leads to an abusive relationship like that and the film shows it without really commenting on it or laying blame on anyone.
Men With Guns - I like it, but CKR's character is kept in the background while he's the most interesting one. You'll find yourself wanting to find out more about him, but the film just doesn't give you anything, which is frsustrating.
Curtis's Charm - I needed, like, three tries to watch it. Not a reflection on the film, which is great as a low-budget film though odd. Just the other character made me nervous and twitchy and was the wrong character to watch while trying to stop smoking, LOL! Looking fwd to what you think about the films! Discussion FTW, YAY!
