As I sit here tonight re-watching V for Vendetta with the
daughters, I am excited about the fact that the judges at the Fayette County
Fair actually got my zombie entries. That is right, I actually pulled in four
Blue Ribbons (first place) and two White Ribbons (third place) for my entry’s.
Honestly, that is so much better than I could have expected. It also gave me
time to review a flick I watched the other night with working on those, the 1990
classic Jacob’s Ladder.
Plot/ Mourning his dead child, a haunted Vietnam vet
attempts to discover his past while suffering from a severe case of
disassociation. To do so, he must decipher reality and life from his own
dreams, delusion, and perception of death.
Even after all these years, Jacob’s Ladder remains a great
atmospheric tale that continues to leave its mark on your mind. Yes, some of it
may be a touch incoherent and not make sense, but to me, it just adds to its
mystery. This film has everything you should want it a flick. It has some
awesome visual effects, it has some great acting within the outstanding script,
and the mood and atmosphere is dark, dreary and perfect for the movie. This is
one of the better films of any genre to come out in the 1990s and a movie that
must be seen. Sure, it may leave a lasting impression, but that is what a flick
is supposed to do.
