"This blog entry is part of my “movie year countdown round #2”. Read more about that here. Angel Heart I like looking at people's lists of favorite movies that they post on the internet. I'm always looking for people who have movies in their lists that I love just as much, especially when they are somewhat more obscure movies that you don't see on these lists as much. I found several lists like this that also contained the movie Angel Heart, so I was really excited to see it. Unfortunately it didn't live up to my wild expectations. Fortunately it was still quite a good movie. It was mostly interesting for the different characters and locations, some of which you don't get to see much of in movies like the Louisiana culture and all the Voodoo stuff. As far as the plot goes, I wasn't quite sure by the end what really happened. There's something of a twist ending which just kind of frustrated me because looking back on the movie I'm not sure what really happened, and ... "

"This is a list for Round 2 of my movie year countdown viewing project as first described here. If by any strange chance whoever is reading this is actually following along you may notice that I'm still less than two thirds of the way through my original one. Well I'm starting this new one because as much as I love old movies it can get a little tedious watching just older movies. So I'm going to be blending my watching of the two lists together. Still focusing on the original one, but every once in a while sliding in the next entry from this new list.Again these new movies are limited to full length movies that are available on Netflix. And for this new round instead of picking a movie from every year, I will be picking a movie from every two years. For example the first movie must have come out during 2006 or 2007. The second movie must have come out in 2004 or 2005. The next in 2002 or 2003. You see.The list is not finished yet, but here is what I have decide ... "

"...but time had been a victoreous enemy. A bit of naivistic detective-story in a voodoo/satanism -ridden world, where stupidly-named Harry Angel (Mickey Rourke) meets a a set of just-as-stupidly named villians and friends, finds himself tangled in a web of mysteries and tries to find out what has happened to Johnny Favourite, a wartime singer now gone missing for 12 years.Angel Heart is a film made in the 80's, with all it's goodies and bad things. Director, Alan Parker, has propably been watching a lot of Blue Velvet and films of that type to create a haunting atmosphere, which propably was scaryish back in the days, but today all the tricks have been seen million + 1 times, it's not really doing anything but putting the viewer on a nostalgy trainride.There's nothing badly wrong about Angel Heart, only the fact that it's a victim of it's own time. But then again, actors are great, director knows what he is doing and the story works, so no reason one shouldn ... "
