THEY’RE EITHER TOO YOUNG OR TOO OLD: My take on the movies Boyhood and Land Ho http://ow.ly/AcRJ7 In Boyhood, a coming of age drama written and directed by slacker fabulist Richard Linklater, the same cast was filmed over a period of one year minus a baker’s dozen in order to make the movie. By doing so, Linklater created his story in such a way that we see the same actor, Ellar Coltrane, grow and change right before our eyes as he plays the lead Mason. In other words, Boyhood is a movie with a gimmick.

Boyhood had great moments - and I did like the idea of the project. The scene with the family dinner with the second husband was just fantastic in the way it was done - that character in particular I'll remember for a while, the slow way he came on. But really after that it didn't do much but meander, and twenty to thirty minutes before the end I was wondering when it was going to end. Guess I'm just a blockbuster guy but I hated to bits how long it was and it ended, on the most frustrating of moments. Gah.
Thanks for reading and responding. Yeah, it did seem to go on and on.
