Lackawanna Blues (2005)
Beautiful!
Fantastically written, acted, and produced! Loved seeing this gleaming, talented cast -- every single one of them -- give a such great performance. This movie thoroughly warmed the cockles of my heart! Great storytelling!
This is a great movie for Black History month. Full of an accurate portrayal of recent history and very real characters who weathered incredible pain -- with dignity and a belief in a better future. It is so easy to see how these diverse adults all affected this child and contributed to the fertile imagination that would eventually fuel the talent of his adulthood. The next time you're in the company of a listening and observing child, remember; show or he may be a writer-in-the-making!
Session 9 (2001)
Haunted Insane Asylumns and Possession - A winning combo!
Creepy, bone-chilling, and on-the-edge-of-your-seat suspenseful!
I loved this movie. I thought it was very well crafted with just enough mystery woven into a very rich plot. I don't need every nuance spelled out for me (imagination is a wonderful thing!), but for those who do, a few unexplained events may leave them frustrated. Each actor gave a brilliant performance and it was wonderful to see David Caruso - in very fine form - again. Mr. Mullan was also superb and his close-ups reminded me of a movie that I saw as a child that has always stayed with me - A Twisted Nerve.
Especially recommended for Catholics (or anyone else that believes that possession is possible) and aficionados of mental hospital architecture!
