siskel and tanner movie reviews (w/o siskel)


i recently saw (1) aria salata, l' (salty air) and (2) transformers:

(1) aria salata, l' (salty air) was part of the LA film festival. only 7 rows of seats and all were fully leather :-) the movie was amazing and told a story of a prison keeper (fabio) whose job was to evaluate if inmates were well-behaved enough to have their punishment reduced. fabio realizes the current inmate is his cold-hearted father who left him 20 yrs ago after murdering a family, causing much internal battle. it was very well done, had an emotionally-poignant musical score, and through its depressing tone indirectly made the viewer appreciate having good friends and family. (score: 9.5/10)

(2) "transforme" (NOT the spanish version of transformers) sucked big time. it was about 2.5 hours long. more specifically, it was 2.5 hours longer than it should have been. well, the beginning actually had some funny parts, but the movie was laced with so many cheesy parts and at times was deliberately making fun of itself. at the end, people clapped. yet, i don't know if they were clapping because they liked it or because it was over. good thing google paid for us to see it. (score: 3/10)
