Jamie Marks Is Dead (2014)
Poor young Soul.
The film is very atmospheric, it's slow burning, which for many people will be a turn off right there. The movie is about acceptance, if not able to seek it in life can he in the afterlife. There's been movies before where certain people can see the dead but only a few. It makes me wonder about life, death, & people who a Schizophrenic, like the film A Beautiful Mind, if someone can be that incredibly intelligent, what else are they able to see.
We are willing to accept they can solve extremely complicated mathematical equations & other mind blowing things but as soon as they see people that aren't there or we can't fathom then they have a mental illness. Jamie Marks however wasn't an Imaginary friend, he was once a living breathing human being, but he left the world lonely, an outcast & in death felt the same emptiness. Without giving away spoilers the people who do see Jamie are rather outcasts themselves, perhaps not to the degree that Jamie was but still loners nevertheless! I think it's a good film, there's another ghost that has passed on that JMID focuses on for a small part of the duration of the film, but the message it is trying to convey is maybe when we leave this world we need to be at peace, if not we will go through eternity feeling the way we did when alive or will repeat the same pattern, the same one we followed exactly at the precise time when we left the world. I left off a couple of stars basically because of the woman the mother had befriended or rather who had befriended her. I suppose that was another lesson about forgiveness & letting go of anger or sorrow, but it does T delve into the reason why Soto me it deemed unnecessary!
Boot Camp (2008)
I Gave Boot Camp The Boot.!
I tried to watch Boot Camp but I eventually gave up on it. I can't say it was a bad movie because the acting was decent enough it's just repetitive. I get bored with films that I've never seen before yet they're so predictable I can always guess what the characters next line is going to be, unfortunately that's what happened here. I love Peter Stormere he's a great actor but he too tends to play the same type of character in whatever he's in, he has that menacing tone where he seems like he's ok but harbors true evil.
Case Histories (2011)
Some great cases with lots of accessories.
I'm not sure how to file Case Histories, detective comedy drama, maybe, but it would be under Dark Comedy perhaps. I've always enjoyed this type of series because it has a little bit of everything. There is a lot of humour in it, maybe I find it funny because I enjoy British humour & w/ British humour it seems to be either silly or dry, I do find this more towards the dry side, however a particular guest star had me in stitches , wished he'd stuck around a little longer, he was a hoot. The only flaw I really find but I've seen the same theme in many shows is when they repeat a scene which usually has to do with a traumatic event in the protagonist's past but after awhile it gets old. Other than that I like the show, it's not as predictable like so many are .
