Kiss Me Deadly

After seeing Kiss Me Deadly I take back all prior comments on liking Film Noir. This movie was a disgrace to the topic that is Noir. I have a really hard time getting to enjoy any characters. VaVaVoom was the only person that I felt a remote attachment to. In Mike Hammer's defence, he does have the best name I've ever heard of. That's about all he had going for him in this picture. He was nowhere near as like able as Neff, primarily because of his lame way of lighting a match. There's something about the one handed flick that I could watch for hours. This film didn't only disappoint me in character likability, but also plot. I really don't know where the flaming box came into play. It seemed like one minute Hammer was hunting down a murderer and the next minute he was burning his hand on some type of Sci-Fi madness. The high quality special effects however rivaled Jurassic park I'd say. The flames that might have been made of paper really looked lifelike. I honestly think I could have made a more convincing scene of incarceration. I was not impressed by this film in the least. (Like my last blog I had computer troubles. It was suppost to be fixed this weekend but I just got it back today.)
