Movie Review - A History of Violence
A History of Violence (2005)
directed by David Cronenberg
rating: 1 out of 5 jalapeños
on DVD from Andy
I read that the dynamic killings in this movie should fuel my own philosophical train of thought with regards to - violence, I guess. Instead I'm left wondering why Aragorn's teenage son acts like his toddler kid sister, why the sister is portrayed as the most emotionally mature member of the family, and why sex always has to be about something besides sex in movies like this. Didn't David Cronenberg used to have a sense of humor? Like in Naked Lunch, when Roy Scheider pops out of the funny alien costume? That sure was hilarious.
