“Strange Days” / Z-View
If you were to ask me, right now, to name my top ten favorite murder mystery movies, sci-fi movies, and love stories, one movie would make all of these lists.
Don’t believe me? OK, then ask me… Really… Ask me. Would one of you please ask me?
Ok. Thanks.
The movie that makes all three lists is Strange Days. Bet that surprised you.
Strange Days was made in 1995 from a story by James Cameron, a screenplay by Cameron and Jay Cocks and directed by Kathryn Bigelow.
It stars Ralph Fiennes, Angela Bassett, Juliette Lewis, Tom Sizemore, Michael Wincott, Vincent D’Onofrio, and Glenn Plummer.
I watched Strange Days again last night and re-remembered just how much I love it and how cool it is that it works in all of the genres that I mentioned at the start of this post. I’d really like to discuss it here, but my guess is that many, if most of you haven’t seen it.
You see it really didn’t do gangbusters at the box office. Heck, I didn’t even see it until it came out on video.
Maybe some of you have seen it and want to talk about why you like or don’t like it.
Maybe some of you who haven’t seen it want to learn more about it. If so, you can click HERE to see the teaser trailer, or even HERE if you want to purchase a copy for your collection.
