MaestroReviews

Deb and I are artists, painters actually. We go see films as often as once a week. That's right, we go to the theater and sit in a dark room with strangers to see movies. We rarely rent. We like "little" movies, foreign and documentary films. We try to stay away from mainstream and blockbusters whenever possible, but a couple sneak in each year. We seek out the obscure. We try to avoid violent movies, and that really limits our choices, most film makers seem to think violence makes a story interesting.
I try not to give anything away in the reviews, but offer an honest reaction.
We rate them 1~10, 10 being highest.

Bless Me Ultima

Deb 6  Me 8

Never heard of it, knew nothing and after you read this you'll know nothing too. I was really pleasantly surprised with this gem. It could've got so corny, so oversold, so stupid, but it didn't. Once I figured out what "type" of movie it was I expected it to follow a preset pattern. Instead it turned out to be a different type of movie and I was pleased. Set in New Mexico at the end of WWll it really seemed to deal with rural ignorance vs. folk wisdom and the end of wonderful traditions that have always been met with the rath of fear.
