That beautiful Miami night
in Movies ·
I'm kind of on board with everyone here, to an extent.
Here’s what actually worked for me in this movie:
1. The cinematography
2. A young Mary Scharer playing that addict in the second story.
The first segment is alright. There's this raw realism during that sex scene
where he's busy, but she’s distracted thinking about food—you know how it is? She can't even focus, so he just steps in like a real man, pulls her closer to the plate, and keeps at it.
The second story is saved entirely by that young lady I mentioned; everything else feels way too forced.
The third one totally ruined it for me and left me with a much more negative impression than a positive one.
First off, it was obvious from the jump that they chose LSD as the way the kid would end up. Second, it's just painfully pathetic—all that "take me with you, don't leave me alone, my love" stuff, like "I'll just go slash my wrists in this harsh world." The only decent part (-3) is when the trip starts kicking in and the camera tilts left and right, creating this nauseating atmosphere. Though, honestly, that's nothing new.

Get looks exactly how it looks in real life, and it leaves the same impression... the black-and-white look is a total bullseye.

New movie releases in The New York Times
in Movies ·
Is there any way to track down those movies that were only available through newsstand giveaways? Like, does anyone know where I can find Apocalypse Now, Pulp Fiction, or Raw Passion?
I think Apocalypse Now was a Los Angeles Times giveaway. I’m actually wondering the same thing about Pulp Fiction, and if I recall correctly, Raw Passion was from The New York Post.
For the LA Times one, you just send a check or money order to their fax number at 555-0199.
Account: 123456789
Reference number: 485
Payable to: Los Angeles Times
Just include your mailing address and the list of movies you want (1 copy = $9.75).
The movies showed up at my place in just three days.
