This overrated 2008 Best Picture winner does have its brilliance in a cold, soulless way. The plot itself – a drug deal gone bad, a hapless deer hunter who finds the leftover cash, and his relentless pursuit by some of the bad guys not left rotting in the desert – is not particularly innovative, but the earthy way it unfolds is riveting.
Has it come to this? Our cultural rot is on full display. Not so much in this slick and shallow effort, which should by all rights be clawing itself up to mediocrity, but the near universal praise heaped upon it by critics and audiences alike. The Cordon Bleu awarded for Hamburger Helper.
If you missed its debut in theaters, be sure to rent this excellent portrait of one man's spiraling descent into madness.There are both tricks and treats in this superb exploration of the shadows of the human psyche with all its dark turns, blind alleys, and webs of deceit. Forget fast action and cheap thrills and instead savor Spider for its innovative story telling, creative cinematography, and consummate acting.
Imagine a Saturday matinee from bygone days. A bigger than life, whimsical epic sweeps across the screen, brushing aside in its huge wake such trivial distractions as historical accuracy and geographical reality. You’ve got Ice Age mammoths, tropical rain forests, a friendly saber-toothed tiger, and great pyramids reaching into the desert skies. What’s not to like?
This Texas classic is worth seeing if for no other reason than to watch those legendary screen icons Elizabeth Taylor, Rock Hudson, and James Dean, all at their peak. And it’s rather amazing to see that the clash between East and West, man and woman, have and have-nots, still resonates.
