The Last Stop (2000)
sort of beautiful
What makes this low budget production one of my favorite movies? Not kidding, i was watching it already 10 times or so and did not get tired. Is it the tender melancholia throughout the whole thing? Is it the similarity to classics like "Niagara"? I was thinking a long time about that. And figured it out: I guess it is: there is no hero, there are only people. Some try to be good. Some gave up trying to be good. Some are hopeless cases but carry still the spunk of being human inside. It is the story of a catastrophic night in a motel at the end of the world. One way the catastrophe is nothing but the end of a chain of coincidences. The other way this night reveals the logical consequents of this peoples lives because they are in a certain constellation cut off the rest of the world. It has something of a Dostoevsky tale.
Pathology (2008)
annoying
OK, this is one of the really bad movies. It starts like an amateur porn with the inevitable porn sentence: girl to boy: "f*ck me please". And the quality is not getting much higher. Milo f*cks around, drugs around and kills and protects killers and puts the life of his fiancé on risk and when she gives him the chance to make a change, he lies to her and exploits her faith into him - thats all OK, it's Milo, it's the good guy, he can do all of this because he is a doctor. And that is what really annoys me: the ideology of the movie. The story is not realistic and according to it the police of New York must be blind and stupid because the crimes are so evident, that a 5 years old kid would find out who the murderers are after 1 day maximum. But who cares, lots of b-movies are stupid but enjoyable. Not this one. The most unpleasant slimy people are the elite in medicine and life and dead of other people is just a game. Being responsible must be the contrary of desirable. Mix it up with gore, gore is fashionable. All the pictures reminded me to "CSI New York", the pictures in the pathology as well as the view on the city, a show that bores me, but trust me, it is much better than this movie. Mix it with sex, sex sells. You have nothing to say, put a puppet of a nude Alyssa Milano in,and the guys will watch it. The cheap trick to get money for a horror movie at the level of an amateur porn. Very disappointing.
