"Before and After"

"This idea comes from the inane TV game show, "Wheel of Fortune", which I seem to be forced to watch whenever I visit my parents. Anyway, the way it goes is a clue is given and the answer has two parts (two films in our case) where there is an overalp in the answers... So the clue might be something like: "Woody Allen and Diane Keaton find themselves in a cheezy movie about gambling..." The answer would be "Annie Hall of Mirrors"... The idea came to me last night as I tripped over asking a friend if he had seen a particular movie... So I think the first one I have is pretty easy... Robert De Niro boxes with Kevin Costner...

 "City Lights Pictures, in association with Whitest Pouring Films and Kilo Films, presents Manda Bala (Send a Bullet), a film by Jason Kohn. The film runs 85 minutes and is not rated by the MPAA. Based upon some of the hostage video content, this film would likely be rated NC-17 by the MPAA. Manda Bala is a documentary film covering several social and economic issues in modern Brazil. These issues include political corruption, the kidnapping of the wealthy by the poor, and resulting industries such as frog farming, specialized plastic surgery, Helicopter taxi service, and the retrofitting of automobiles to make them more or less bullet-proof.Very well photographed and cleanly edited, Manda Bala, to a great extent, lacks a central theme. This picture has a good, complimenting soundtrack. Because of a mixture of translation and subtitles, the presentation is at times awkward for the viewer. Manda Bala greatly benefits from stunning cinematography. However, while watching this film ... " [More]
