ALPHA --- If you like dog stories, you will love this Feature. Pre-historic times.
All subtitles! The boy speaks in a caveman language. He is the chief's son
and bonds with a wolf-dog. Simple story but touching. The Cinematography
is excellent, the dog is incredible, and the young boy look as if he could be
your best friend. This film could be a real sleeper; it's that good. Highly
recommended.
THE WIFE --- Two married writers (Glenn Close and Jonathan Pryce) quarrel,
even though he wins the Nobel Prize for Literature. Or did he? Best dialogue
scenes in a Love-Hate Relationship. N.B. There is a Twist at the end with
the reporter (Christian Slater). I predict Oscars for Ms. Close, Picture,
Director, Actor and especially Screenplay. Jeremy's son Max Irons plays
the son. Very solid as a first-time big role.
KIN --- White old brother (Jack Reynor) and Black adopted younger brother
(Myles Truitt) team up with a lovely Dancer (Zoe Kravitz) to escape the
sixty thousand gambling debt owed to Capo gangster (James Franco).
Surprisingly good with Sci Fi Twist at End with Producer Michael
B. Jordan. Dennis Quaid is excellent as tough but fair father.
A film worth seeing.
All for today. More soon.
Fight on!
