Be in Heaven before the Devil knows you are dead
Posted in General on July 31st, 2010 by RaviMarissa Tomei, I thought, was a low profile actor. Personally I like Malayalam movies a lot, but the golden era of Malayalam movies is over with the new kids copying Tamil and Hindi movies make the new movies in Malayaam a complete waste of time.
Last year I had ran out of movies, and I was really angry about it and started complaining to a friend that there are too few movies on this planet worthy of a man like me. He recommended a movie called Anger Management. It was a bit funny though cast with Adam Sandler and all, but it was just old wine in a new bottle. But Marissa did appeal to me a bit and I have seen her in another movie called What Women Want, a girl working in a coffee shop and calls Mel Gibson gay :p.
I just looked her up on imdb, and found that she had won some awards for movies that I have never heard of.
In the bedroom is a movie in which she she dates a kid just out of school while her divorce is ongoing with her psycho husband. He is jealous that she gets his house and she is banging this kid before the divorce is over, and one day in a fit of rage, he shoots the kid.
Marissa is the only evidence to the murder, and she flunks it in a court hearing when she says she heard the shot and came downstairs and found the boy dead and saw her (ex) husband walking out of the house. The opposition’s lawyer says that the evidence is not good enough, and the convict is set free.
The sight of the murderer of her son roaming about freely with other women in the city sets the mother of the kid off balance. The father of the kid gets worried about the mother, and smooth talks the convict and asks him to leave the city, offers to drive him to the airport, takes him into the woods, and kills him and buries him there.
The film was so well made that it reminded me of the good old Malayalam movies. I never knew that the idiots in Hollywood could make such movies.
Another movie that I watched is Before the Devil Knows you are dead. Two brothers need quick cash and decide to steal jewelery from their parents jewel shop. They want to make it a day light robbery so that their parents can reclaim the money from their insurance company.
The younger brother gets an associate, and asks him to go in there with a gun, shut the door, take all the loot at gun point, and walk out. He goes in, shuts the door, pulls out his gun, and the lady pulls out a gun from the counter, and the guy gets nervous and shoots at the same time the lady shoots, and the lady is badly injured, and the guy is dead.
The younger brother gets scared and drives away fast, and when he gets home, he realizes that it was his mother that was in te store that day, and they had expected only their emloyee to be in the store. The Mother is too weak, and the elder brother suggests to everyone that it is best to send her away.
They both get into a series of troubles, and the father finally realizes that the elder brother was behind all this, and he kills him with a pillow in his hospital bed.
This I think is a must watch movie.
