Into The Abyss
A Tale of Death, A Tale of Life

PG-13 | 107 min

Werner Herzog makes a jarring case against the death penalty is his mos eggsalad Into The Abyss (wait, hasn’t James Cameron cornered the market on all ‘Abyss‘ titled movies?).  While the doc didn’t really shift our opinion on the matter (we’re still kinda undecided.  killing people is wrong, but shouldn’t horrible people suffer for their sins?), it did scare us straight in a Scared Straight! kinda way, which means it scared us the f%^k away from doing anything that would ever land ourselves in jail or to the 36 chambers of state sponsored death.  5reals!!

Abyss revolves around the crimes and punishments of Texan two-some Michael Perry and Jason Burkett.  Basically, Perry & Burkett really wanted a flashy car and ended up killing a bunch of innocent people that stood between them and it.  They got caught, and one received a death sentence, and the other, a life sentence.  Herzog and his iconic/ironic voice takes us back to the beginning of the story and quickly brings us up to speed, on the motivations and emotions of all parties involved – the criminals (what the frak were you guys thinking!!!), the families of the victims (these poor poor people!!!!), the families of the criminals (listening to Burkett’s own jailed dad talk about seeing his son follow in his despicable footsteps is some of the saddest talkings we’ve heard in awhile), and even the death row angels of death (a chilling and unforgettable perspective from these final justice servicers)

There’s not much happiness in all this gloom and doom, but Herzog still finds a silver lining deep down in The Abyss. While it’s conflicting to watch Perry wind down his final days of life so nonchalantly, with a giant toothy grin (you almos feel sorry for the bastard!), it’s even mo sirprizing and even a lil inspiring to see how Burkett has found his own bit of happiness, and hope for the future.  Sure, he has zero chance of ever being released, but that hasn’t stopped him from gaining a wife, and miraculously, a baby(!) since being incarcerated!!!

moral of the story: there may be no life after a death sentence, but apparently there can be life after a life sentence!!! to kill the killers or to let them live?  that is the question, but what is the right answer?  well, that’s just another question!

Into Into: there are two other IMDb Into The Abysseses – a 15 minute short from 1993 and a 2001 TV bio about a scuba diver.  class disabyssed

Verdictgo: potent, potent, potent stuff.  Can’t THIGHLY recommened it enuff - Breast In Show!!!!!

Into The Abyss rises up in limited release this Friday

Martha Marcy May Marlene
Cult of Lightening In A Fragile Bottle

R | 120 min

Elizabeth Olsen is the unknown, and now known, sister of the Olsen twits.  Don’t know what she’s been doing all her life, but now she’s an actress, and from what we’ve seen of her in Sean Durkin‘s purty darn good Martha Marcy May Marlene, she definitely passes as an actress, and even more so than her sisters, who never really were actors to begin with, juss a set of twins who played a set of twins on a really dumb sitcom

In MMMMMmmmmmmMMmMmm, Liz doesn’t do much talking, but she does eat, and swim, and mope, and sometimes falsely smiles, and other times juss scares us with those blue-green Olsen dead eyes.  That’s what Olsen kin do best – they stare with those eyes, and creep us the creep creep out.  Liz as MMMmMMmmmMM does lots of staring cause she’s a lost soul stuck in the real world (at sis Sarah Paulson and bro-in-law Hugh Dancy‘s fancy dancy lake house) after running away from a cultish farm commune, which she kinda sorta not really wishes she never left, but of course is glad that she left (oh the contradiction!!!!)

She’s haunted by the past, going nowhere in the present, with not a very bright future ahead of her.  Blame the washing of her brain and private parts by the Jim Jones/David Koresh/Charles Mansonish dude played by John Hawkes (he has shady facial hair AND plays a guitar, so he muss be a cultish leader!!!!).  Now we loves ourselves some JHawkes, but he’s far too gentle of an actor to be seen as a lecherous misguided messiah.  Maybe that’s where faux-Michael Pittster Brady Corbet comes in, cause his eye starings are almos as creepy as Olsen’s is be!!!

Moral of the story?  Everyone with blue-ish eyes kinda creeps us out

Verdictgo: Jeepers Worth A Peepers

MMMMMMMMM is currently mmmmmmmm good in limited release

and until next thyme the balcony is clothed…
