"Sling Blade" is the touching story of a mildly retarded man's freindship with a fatherless boy. All is well until his mother's abusve boyfreind, played by Dwight Yokam, comes into the picture. The film is beautifly photographed, acted, and written. I strongly recommend it.
Although this movie has a similar plot to the horrible "Deepstar Six", "Leviathan" is a much better film. They have great sets, but "Leviathan" is better acted, written, photographed, and the monster in "Leviathan" is 50 times scarrier than "Deepstar Six". Sure, the plot is a ripoff of "Alien", but hey...it works.
Distant Thunder is an overlooked but impressive film. John Lithgow gives an oscar worthy performance and the cinematographty gives the film a haunting atmosphere. This film, along with John Frakenhimer's Black Sunday, is an excellent look at Vietnam vets that has, unfourtaneatley, been overlooked.
