Rage Against Suburban Zombie-ism Tuesday, February 24, 2015 Film-wise, it's about entertainment for me. What do I feel like watching at that particular moment? If it's not about entertainment, my choice will most likely be a documentary. Not just about anything, but I have to be interested in the topic that's being presented. If it's neither about entertainment nor education, it'll usually be a writer/director type movie that's well done with a good message. And based on the recommendation/reminder from a FB friend, I finally got to see Beyond The Lights last night from the writer/director, Gina Prince-Blythewood (Love & Basketball, The Secret Life of Bees). As per the trailer, expect Beyond The Lights to be cheesy at times, but not in a Nicholas Sparks someone's-got-cancer saccharin sort of way. Beyond the romance, this film is a great example of what casting does to a movie. (Surprisingly, Minnie Driver almost outshone the female lead, Gugu Mbatha-Raw.) And beyond the casting, there is a solid message that's never too late to hear! Labels: Beyond the Lights anti-Oscars posted by Stephania at 2:11 pm |
