Lonely Hearts (2006)
It's Magnificent
I thought that this film was done so well. I like the actors in their parts and I just adore Jared Leto. I think that with his dashing good looks, the part of Ray is very fitting. Salma's a divine actress. I love how she plays this role. These people did some very awful things and I think that it's a little sad that we are here judging the movie when people have died by the hands of these "lonely hearts". Personally I blame Martha for the sick turn of events (based on the movie of course). John and James keep with the feel and it's nice to see a back story to the movie instead of just murders and crooks. Both sides gives you a look into the minds (as twisted as they may be) of the couple and the detectives trying to catch them. I'm glad that Johns character and son finally finds peace in the end. All in all I feel that it is a great film. Kudos.
A Dead Calling (2006)
It's not THAT bad.
OK, I just saw the movie and I didn't think that it was THAT bad. The other reviewer is correct the acting sucks, big time, but if you actually give it a chance and try to get into the character then it's not so bad. I would not recommend buying or renting it but if you're stuck somewhere out in the middle of nowhere with cable and the movie just so happens to come on, it might be OK. Yes the escaped convict plot is alright, way too played out. There are actually kind of two "twists". The first is pretty obvious from the get-go. The other surprised me a little but it did not improve the movie what-so-ever. I think that the characters the were in The Devil's Rejects, should stay there. There is "supposed" to be a tender moment between the parents and the daughter and I could only laugh. Now if "tender" meant "awkward" then I could understand. All in all this was a pretty bad movie. Don't waste ANY money on this or you'll be sorry.
