REVIEW

Burning Palms* Christopher Landon, Director

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1283887/

As most of my regular readers are aware, I'm a big movie buff. It's in fact one of my favorite past-times. But I must admit; this movie was different than the hundreds I've watched before.

Initially, I didn't really know how to process what I saw. I wasn't quite sure where the writer was coming from, the message or the motivation for this film.

What I can attest to is that it was dark, funny, sick, thought-provoking, insensitive, entertaining and hugely controversial. There are five short stories "that will mess you up for life" about various people and places in California that address a myriad of issues, perversions, dysfunctions, relationships and just plain strange situations. Expect the unexpected.

In the end, I would recommend it for its entertainment value.
But, if shock value or dark humor offends you, this one won't be your cup of tea. You've been warned. :-) I'd give it ***1/2 stars.

Wrapping things up here...

 

This concludes the 3Rs series for June. And more importantly, my posts for the next few months.

Practicing what I preach, Pen & Prosper will take a much-needed summer break.

Look for more exciting posts, leads and topics to help you know more and grow more, around the 1st week in September.
Feel free to leave comments and to connect in the interim. I'll be checking periodically.  

Have a safe, fun summer, folks!
