"The Lobster" was a recommendation from Cat and all of her recommendations have turned out to be five star but I failed on this one. The movie may be some of the most twisted cinema you will ever see and the concept is an amusing outrage in review of what happens when long-term human relationships are mandatory. The story is just about as dark as it's possible to get but it's funny in the pragmatic view of such wicked behavior to enforce the standard.
If our hero does not find a new woman at the camp for people with broken relationships, he can choose the animal he will become and the state will turn him into one. Our hero chose to become a lobster and comedy ensues although it's definitely not the Abbot and Costello kind.
My problem with the movie was substantial difficulty in understanding English when it's spoken with a strong French accent. This is not much different from my difficulty understanding English when spoken by someone with an accent from western Scotland and they I can't understand at all.
"The Lobster" may get another go since it's savage with views of human relationships, human sexuality, etc so it's worth the time but I'm mixed as to whether a different result will come.
"War Dogs" is a recommendation from Cadillac Man and this isn't at all what I anticipated since my thought was two old geezer war dogs maybe something like "Second-hand Lions" but that's not the story at all. The heroes are international arms traffickers and there's a compelling reason to watch since Ana de Armas plays the wife of the junior protege for the trafficking and she's stunningly beautiful.
The movie emphasizes from the top it's based on a true story and just now I have the feeling it may be like "Blow" and our hero is not going to come anything good through his trafficking.
Note: "Blow" was only a tragedy because Johnny Depp could charm a snake. That was a fair play for the role since international dealers can charm snakes anyway.
More to come with "War Dogs" and if it were being reviewed solely on the basis of hot babes then it would already have taken the biscuit but that won't do it by itself.
She does look dangerous, tho, doesn't she, cabron.
