Cuckoo, Between The Temples, Stranger Darling

Movie 1: Cuckoo

This is horror movie is very confusing. Set in the Bavarian Alps of Germany it had previews that looked promising. However, it quickly gets twisted and dark and we found ourselves spending more time trying to figure it out than enjoying it.

Movie 2: Between The Temples

This is an absolutely wonderful little drama/comedy. A depressed Jewish cantor starts an unlikely relationship with a former teacher. The storyline, the acting, the humanity is very touching. It is great to see Carol Kane again.

Movie 3: The Crow

This is a different interpretation of the 1994 movie of the same name. A man comes back from the dead to avenge the death of his girlfriend. That’s about the only thing we understood about this dark, gothic, sinister mess of a movie.

  1. I saw “Between the Temples” yesterday and although I love Carol Kane and I thought the story was OK, I did not like the movie due to the way it was filmed. Too many facial close ups, too much camera shaking and too many unlikable people, especially the Philippine mother.
