Review of The Year of Living Dangerously (1982) by Casey B — 27 Apr 2007

[i][b]The Year of Living Dangerously[/b][/i] >> There was a chunk of this movie where I was confused whether or not the character of Billy was male or female. Billy was played by actress Linda Hunt, whom I recognized. Other than that confusion, the movie was decent. It seemed ackward at times and more concerned with the uneventful romance than the country's civil issues.

[b][i]Videodrome [/i][/b]>> Even stranger than [i]Scanners[/i], this movie was a trip. I still don't fully get it, but I have the feeling I'm not the only one. It was a fun, quirky, and interesting film, however.

[i][b]Smokin' Aces[/b][/i] >> Basically, I didn't care about any of the characters. The film was stylish but was trying to be overly witty and funny. It wasn't boring but I rarely laughed and found myself mostly uninterested. When it tried to get dramatic, it failed miserably.
