Agree, boring ... check out Summer of Sam

209.6.67.26

My wife and I rented both EWS and SOS over the weekend. EWS is boring, pretentious, and bizarre. While nicely filmed, I think reviewers were offering respects to a great director when giving it good marks.

Summer of Sam I thought was very good, although disturbingly violent. Great buildup of tension, claustrophobia, and paranoia among a group of New Yorkers who know little beyond their immediate sphere of influences. A great study of how saying something enough, combined with some paranoia, can incite people to a lynchmob frenzy.

I also found the orgy scene in SOS far more interesting than the one in EWS.
