Back to the Future Part II (1989)
My Favorite Film for years and years
Zemekis is my favorite director, period. This is his greatest work. The sequel to part one, which was a treasure to the film world, part two has just a bit more scale. the visions of the future are probably a little dated, in our time of 2014. However, the plot, the production design, Michael J Fox, and the antagonists are all as relevant as ever.
I love the DeLorean and Mr. Fusion. That little invention will always play in my mind. I wish I had a flying car just like it.
And the Hoverboards! Great use of scene flashbacks between this film and the first, and eventually the third.
I remember when this came out, the third was not far behind, and how satisfying that was.
I hope Mr. Zemekis makes another film of this sort soon.
Heaven Strewn (2011)
Very well crafted film about friendship, greed, danger, and love.
I saw this on a referral from a friend. Wasn't expecting anything in particular. Not long after the movie started, I was pulled in by the elegant craft of this film. The character, Mickey is lovable and entertaining all the way through. The relationship between the husband/wife characters: Jasper and Anna is touching, and the driving force behind the increasing friction of friendship between the two leads, Jasper and Mickey. As Mickey haphazardly wrangles them into a harrowing dealing with stolen thug money in the desert, and back to the city to reap the consequences, their long time friendship unravels and threatens to come to an end.
The filmmakers make excellent use of their resources, crating well made scenes, excellent photography, and use of whatever environment they happen to be in. The directing of actors is top notch. There were few if ever a moment that released me from the characters adventure.
I look forward to the filmmakers next incantation.
