One of my favorite movie sites chud.com has embarked on an interesting list: the top cinamatic disappointments. So far they’re two items into the list of fifty and already they’ve picked a film I love; Once Upon A Time In Mexico. An odd film to be sure but that’s what I treasure about it.
As for own list I would include Rodruigez’s Sin City. A film that in it’s slavish devotion to the literal rendering of the source material completely missed the book’s appeal. From that same year I still haven’t recovered from the jaw dropping I failure I found to be David Cronenberg’s A History Of Violence. Again I’m in the minority.
I would also have to include the entire US career of John Woo, a director who never came into his own after relocating here.
