Poor For Love of the Game, trying to fit in.  I suppose it at least accomplishes showing the diversity of his filmography. This really reminded me how much I actually like a lot of his work and how underrated some of it is. The Quick and the Dead and The Gift have always been guilty pleasures, and I still (without guilt) stand by Oz. Despite some bouts of childishness, its vision is top notch and that transition to wide and in color never gets old. Darkman always fills me with so much nostalgia. Crazy how he squeezed himself into a boom in superhero/comic book movies two decades in a row without compromising his style (for the most part). Always loved how A Simple Plan was basically him trying his hand at the Coen brothers, and the way they sometimes incorporate each other with either behind camera work or cameos. I just rewatched Miller's Crossing last week and had forgotten Raimi's one scene of just being violently gunned down. Good use of Drag Me to Hell scenes, easily the most "him" movie outside of the Evil Dead trilogy. I still think the séance scene is the perfect Viagra for horror fans. Perfect song choices.  Especially the footage paired with the "turn my head" lyric in "Paint It Black". And that seamless transition at 1:08.  And that ending is gold. I have yet to see Crimewave, but the imagery seen here is motivating. Well done as always.  |

Yes, Raimi is one of my favorites. Well.... was I guess. I've seen all of his films except For Love of the Game, but I haven't watched Raimi movie in about... 5 or 6 years now.

I have yet to see Crimewave, but the imagery seen here is motivating. Well done as always. Choosing songs was once of the biggest challenges, go figure. And I think there's only four (?) shots of For Love of the Game because that was the hardest to make work -- though I'm super pleased with the "This can only end bloody for me, Billy" line. Thanks for watching! |
