Sea of Love (1989)
Slightly Above Average Cop Thriller
The first half of this movie is a crime mystery. The second half is a love story. I thought that I would know what happened next and for the most part I was right. Thre were a few surprises and i admit i did not see the ending coming. Although once I saw it kinda made sense who the killer was.
I just thought that the movie was repetitive in its dialog in some parts. Al Pacino is his usual self in one of his come back roles were he has picked up the deep voice and the dark eyes. Besides one scene in a Shoe store i think his performance is rather average. No where in the league of later works such as Scent of a Women and Glenn Gary Glenn Ross. In the confines of the script the actors did what they could so i give it a generous seven.
The Birth of a Nation (1915)
One of the worst movies ever
This movie plays to the worst stereo types. Anybody that knows the history of it knows that Blacks where lynched off of it. By that the director has blood on his hands. A movie that is most likely on the Klans films to see list. The fact that people would give it a 7.1 shows how far we have to go in this country. One could argue freedom of speech but this movie directly lead to the death of blacks that did nothing. That more than crosses the line in terms of speech which should never insight violence. Even if the movie was made in 1915 when most blacks were openly subjected to violence it does not condone the directors actions.
