Throughout movie history there
has been many remarkable quotes.
But not many have had so much resonance
in my head, as "The anaxation of Puerto Rico"
from a Duwayne Dunham film
called “Little Giants”.
The movie is about two teams
playing little league football
To decide which one will be the town´s team.
The cowboys vs. the little giants
Based on a John William Heisman trick play
Used on the 1984 Orange Bowl
commonly known as
“The Fumblerooski”
“The anaxation of Puerto Rico”
is used by the Little Giants offense.
To fool everyone!
Making it the unpredictable twist
to win the BIG game.
This kind of twists attract me.
With little or non movie references
character arcs become very predictable
And plots are easily spoiled by the trailer.
The Others(2001)
Written /Directed and Scored
by Alejandro Amenábar
Edited by Nacho Ruiz Capillas
Stars Nicole Kidman as Grace Stewart,
In a tale of a woman and her sick children
In a big isolated haunted house
after World War II.
Its brilliance lies on the beautiful editing
And how our attention is
Misdirected by the DIRECTOR´S
Use of movie clichés
To misguide us all.
Old Yeller (1957)
Directed by Robert Stevenson
Edited by Stanley E. Johnson
One of t he saddest stories ever
A movie monument that became a cliché.
Before “Disney´s Swiss Family Robinson”
And “The Shaggy Dog”
It’s the story of Travis Coates
And how his family adopts a big
Yellow cur dog, but suddenly
The dog turns on his owners.
That Stephen king kind a twist
Was SO shocking to me
As a little kid.
It made me confused on what
Was right and what
HAD TO BE DONE.
Arlington Road (1999)
Directed by Mark Pellington
Edited by Conrad Buff
Michael Faraday (Jeff Bridges) suspects
his next door neighbor
Oliver Lang (Tim Robbins) Is a terrorist
A Master class of editing and quick dialogue
There are no supporting roles
Every actor delivers and
It’s a movie you never pause.
Before 9-11 this movie made
America Aware of the danger
In their own back yard.
Fire in the sky (1993)
Directed by Robert Lieberman
Edited by Steve Mirkovich
In 1975, Travis Walton disappears
Everybody on town thinks he was murdered
Five days later Dehydrated, and incoherent
Travis claims he was abducted by a UFO.
To me the twist was to make it dark.
As flashbacks are introduced to let us
Experience the abduction
It adds texture by eliminating bright lights
Or sweet music (clichés of the genre)
With remarkable editing
And awesome special & makeup effects,
This apparent Sci fi movie goes further
With depth and complex characters.
Making it a must see.
