Robert Levin from FSR Writes:
On the surface, In the Land of Blood and Honey seems like a vanity project of sorts for its maker, Angelina Jolie. After all, the actress/humanitarian/super-mom is one of the few figures in Hollywood who could strive to make a Bosnian War-set Romeo and Juliet with subtitles and actually get it done.
Yet the finished project suggests that we might have found a new director to watch. Jolie brings a sincere, serious vision to this ambitious enterprise. Crafted with a veteran’s skill, the film ably traverses a range of emotions, from the intimate warmth of bedside scenes to the cold, calculated brutality of war at its most horrific.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
I've always liked good foreign films. I don't mind the subtitles at all as long as the story is good enough to keep me interested. I've been waiting for this one to come out in my area but I don't think it has yet.
Ever since I saw the trailer for this movie I've been intrigued by it. I'm not a big fan of the fringe film look(except Korean films, I seem to really love those), but this one seemed so good. I'll see it eventually but probably from a Redbox not in theaters.
