Homewrecker (2010)
great indie film
A really nice film with some fine actors and an amazing debut for these directors. The writing is particularly good. I enjoyed how the character of "Margot" who seems crazy and unattractive at the beginning of the movie, becomes less crazy and more attractive as the film carries on. By the end, she's a beautiful, quirky woman. None of the characters fall prey to clichés which is common for low budget movies. Even the boyfriend that seems like the typical asshole character portrayed a thousand times before is shown to have some depth and substance. You're never sure which way the movie is going and it's not predictable at any point. See this movie!
Ne touchez pas la hache (2007)
horrible
I walked out. My date fell asleep. Badly acted, badly directed and I can't figure out how this got made. Who would fund such crap? I realize that this is a style of movie-making but it's a really bad style. No music, not transitional shots. Do we need text telling us that the next scene is "the following day"? My guess would be if the two are meeting tomorrow and he's wearing a different outfit that it indeed is THE FOLLOWING DAY! I really can't imagine what the vision of this movie was. I saw the good reviews on the poster and thought well, it must be good otherwise why would it be distributed in this country and playing at a theater that books great films? Boy was I duped. Run, do not walk, away from this one.
