 Finding Amanda $14.98 Let me preface this, my husband bought this from a bargain bin so we paid next to nothing for it. With that said, it's an interesting movie. It's a dry comedy with a sad story. Broderick's character is addicted to alcohol and gambling. He decides to go to Vegas to find his niece who is a hooker and supposedly on drugs. It's a depressing story about poor decisions from both characters. There are scenes that made my husband and I uncomfortable but others we laughed at. It's not a movie I'd loan to most of my friends but it was an interesting movie to watch. I'd say rent it before buying it unless you can find it in a bargain bin.

ONLY ONE AVAILABLE FOR SALE.  On the Doll $29.99 This movie is not for everyone. It's a very depressing, sad and dark view into the world of todays youth. Yet, it's not the type of depressing movie that progresses forward at a snail's pace. Everything that happens is entertaining enough to keep the interest of the viewer held until the end of the film. I personally enjoy dark subject matter (movies or otherwise) and this one is pitch black as the night! I was still thinking about scenes from the movie for many days after watching it. ON THE DOLL just leaves that sick and vile memory imprinted within you after viewing. Basically the over all theme is an easy one to understand. The story follows many different characters through the course of the movie and eventually, all of which are some how crossed into one another. Think of the movie CRASH and you've got the basic idea. One of the characters is involved with an adult news paper business, where as another character seems to be a prostitute, despite having a boyfriend who seemingly doesn't care about the line of work she's in. Also, actress Brittnay Snow is in the movie, which is a welcome "bounce back" after her terrible remake of PROM NIGHT. It's good to know that she takes her career a little seriously. I'm not going to go into too much more detail about the movie, mainly because there really isn't much more to say. It's a simple film that doesn't try to become something it's not. ON THE DOLL is just a dark movie that is meant to disturb. Nothing more. As you watch the film, you can't help but wonder what the exact purpose of the film is. Understandable considering there doesn't seem to be one. Thats okay, because if you "get" the movie, it doesn't need a need to have a purpose. When you're dealing with subject matter such as this, there doesn't need to be a point to it all. It's just real, gritty and depressing. Much like the society we all live in today. Negative outlook? Maybe, but at least it's an honest film. Over all, I think it's a well made artistic movie that isn't for everyone. Some of the moody and depressing themes might turn a few people off while only making others (the female viewers I would imagine) just out right mad. Gore wise, there isn't anything here. It's more of a psychological film rather than a bloody, slasher movie. There are some scenes of torture, one being a guy getting punched in the crotch while tied up, over and over again until he passes out from the pain. It's a really nasty scene to say the least. As the old saying goes, look before you leap. Read about this movie before watching it. It's not for everybody. I've said my bit. Peace out. |
