Dolores Claiborne trailer

Did she killer her?   I don’t think Delores killed her, I think she wanted to kill Vera.  I think she had enough time to realize Vera’s motive for convincing Delores to kill her husband was really selfish.  Vera didn’t want to be alone.   Delores came to understand there was such a thing as redemption, that her husband could have been helped had he remained alive.  I think Delores decided Vera made her kill her husband and she wasn’t going to let Vera talk her into killing the conspirator who had already killed her own husband, Vera.

Why did the writer not let her kill Vera?  

I thought Kathy Bates was so compelling in this film you could hardly focus on anyone else.   Leigh, Strathairn (who I personally think is another of those really good actors who doesn’t get enough recognition), Plummer, Reilly, Parfitt and the rest of the cast made this story come to life.

The Tree of Life Trailer HD – A big thumbs up…

This was a touching drama.   I was quite surprised by this film and completely under its spell throughout.  Very creative storyline, a little confusing at times but superb acting and videography.  Pitt was sharp and has matured into an extraordinary actor.  I was surprised he didn’t get nominated for best actor in this film.

Single White Female…

Allison rents a room to Hedy.  Hedy is mentally unstable, we aren’t sure what caused her instability (too much TV?) but it is clear there are issues of self-hatred and attachment problems which Hedy acts out for self preservation.   Allison becomes the object of her parental depravity and when Allison does not respond as Hedy wishes her to, Hedy becomes violent.  Allison has boyfriend problems but then they make up and he gives her a dog.  Hedy is still trying to form an attachment with Allison.   Hedy projects her hatred for her parents onto Allison.  Things get messy and Allison’s pet, Buddy, gets in the way of Hedy’s attempts at bonding with Allison (not unnatural but inappropriate) which Hedy causes to fall from their 4th floor apartment.   Hedy wants to be like Allison making herself look like Allison changing her hair color, wearing clothes like Allison’s and becoming more like Allison but with a taste for murder (Point of No Return).
