3 clues to guess my Aug ‘15 movie: A Mock Squid Soup Teaser #cinephiles #film #review

movieclueAhh, the forgetful bliss of the vacating mind. Despite the fact that Squid totally sent out a reminder for this, I simply forgot to do it. Sooooo, let’s do it now.

Clue #1– According to the rumor mill of some entertainment news sources that I can’t remember at the moment, when this movie originally finished production and was tested with small audiences, it did so bad that the release date was pushed back almost a year to reshoot the ending and a few other critical scenes.

Clue #2– The main character of this movie went through grueling hours of  costuming to assume the persona of this title character and felt that perfection was achieved when children were frightened by her.

Clue #3– This movie is not an original idea, but is perhaps an original take on the classic tale retold over centuries and in many cultures and other movies. There is actually a small part of the narration in this modern telling that was included “word-for-word” from the original U.S. film it was based on, and since the same movie house released both films it wasn’t a problem.

Do you think you know what my movie is? I am I still making this way too hard?

I can’t wait to see everyone else’s clues. I hope I guess some right. I’m so looking forward to the actual reviews that will be posted next week. I’m glad we decided to do this again.

3 clues to guess my June ‘15 movie: A Mock Squid Soup Teaser #cinephiles #film #review

So here I am again to torture you all with my bad clue giving skills. I don’t want it to be too easy for you to guess, but I want it to be easier than last time. Let’s see if I can get a handle on this and give some good clues.

Clue #1– This is an award-winning French film that, like so many others, did not do well in U.S. box offices, but has since built up a cult following.

Clue #2– The story is a dark tale of the future that cleverly ties into the fictional past of (the year of the film’s release) 2006 to help explain the mystery that’s being solved in the movie.

Clue #3– This is a black and white film of a different caliber, with some well-known actors lending their talents to this relatively low-budget (for its type) film that has an awesome tagline: Paris 2054. Live forever or die trying.

Well if you read my last two movies reviews, the next movie I’m going to review may seem a bit out-of-place. So there you go- a bonus clue if you can read between the lines.

Clue #1– It’s a buddy movie.

Clue #2– The main character is based off a classic story to which its main character was inspired something that happened in real life.

Clue #3– In this colorful film, misunderstandings abound.

Do you think you know what my movie is?

I can’t wait to see everyone else’s clues. I hope I guess some right. I’m so looking forward to the actual reviews that will be posted next week. This is fun. I hope we do this again.
