Good Fence

From Havoc to Good Fence my film choices are trying to tell me something. LOL. The Oscar nominations came out and the only film nominated that I saw is Crash. It’s the only film I remember. I’ll have to look at the entire list, but I only saw a handful of new films last year. I do remember seeing Sin City. I think that was last year. Things come and go so quickly and then they pop up on DVD. That was the case with Good Fence and perhaps Havoc. I don’t recall either of these films having a release in New Orleans. So is life. Our city gets passed by because we just aren’t a target audience or so they say. Maybe if they gave us some good quality films we might see things differently. Broke Back Mountain is breaking records, but why? It’s like when Making Love came out in the 80’s. Everyone wanted to see what the hoopla was all about. Of course Michael Ontkean and Harry Hamlin weren’t well known stars. I still think Making Love holds up well, but there are people that would say otherwise. I think the story is true in today’s world. Broke Back Mountain is a period piece to a degree and it stars two young up and coming stars. Most people are running out because they hear about the kiss. Controversy always gets them in. LOL. I’ve not seen the film yet so I won’t say anymore. Good Fence stars Whoopi Goldberg and Danny Glover as wife and husband moving up the ladder of success and how the past brings them into the future. Our behavior from the past makes us react to different situations in ways that some people just don’t understand. It’s a film about being perceived a certain way. Trying to fit in and the scars that it leaves on every level. From start to finish. Check it out. Tonight's feature, Coming to America. Thanks for stopping by; keep an open mind.
