Capote (2005)
Hoffman Is Capote
My daughter and I traveled for one and a half hours to view Capote because it is in limited release. I can only say that Capote is one of the best movies I have viewed in past 20 years. Character portrayals were excellent, though I would have liked to have seen more information concerning the Clutters and more information concerning Alvin Dewey and Richard Hickock. The movie was filmed in Canada but whomever picked the locations did an excellent job because the the area looked like that of Kansas. Harper Lee was a close friend of Capote and the movie made an attempt to show that. The only negative factor is the fact that Capote's homosexuality was not presented in too much detail, just hinted at. This movie is the one movie that you must see. I highly recommend Capote.
The Mighty (1998)
Very Good Movie
This movie was very good. I don't usually rate a movie a full ten. I believe that I have only rated maybe a dozen movies in my lifetime this high. The ending musical score will make one soar with the bird. It is an amazing final scene. Others I have scored high are Network, A Clockwork Orange, O Brother, Where Art Thou? The Long Riders and Cat Ballou. I believe that Harry Dean Stanton and Sharon Stone did not receive enough on screen time. The Mighty flowed pretty smooth and there weren't a lot of slow periods. I would have liked to have seen more action when the boys were bullied but then again that may have given younger viewers ideas. But beware..the soundtrack to The Mighty does not include the ending theme music which is the best part of the soundtrack.
