Hot to Trot (2018)
Great film, more than about dance.
This film was fantastic from the start. It is so much more about dance than implied but about tragedy and the rise from tragedy. The rise of real people and real stories to overcome the tragedies of real life as you don't expect.
Pi (1998)
Not as good as I was told it would be.
First things first; anybody who rejects a movie based on whether it uses color or black & white is simply, (as I would say to my kids when harsher words would do better), SILLY!! Of late B&W & degraded images get used as an effect, especially in low-budget indie films and in this case it seems so. I can't imagine what you anti-B&W folks would say about classics like Citizen Kane to Manhattan in which B&W was used as an integral part of each films artistic expression. As for Pi itself; it was a mediocre film, a simple story about a man in search of meaning, meaning in himself, why he is like he is. Mathematics was simply a device through which the story was told. Hitchcock used it often; called it a McGuffin. A device to further the plot, with no meaning at all and needing none. Except that in Pi, Aronofsky went to far or not far enough. He made the device too important, needing further explanation, which is obvious to all the math-heads out there; which I unfortunately am not, and so liked the film more than those who could see through it all. There should have been less math and more drama, more drama and less film technique. This same plot can be transplanted and used in any genre, any drama. The genre itself is the device.
Nightfall (2000)
I've read the original and this movie is sacrilege
I've read the original short story by Isaac Asimov and even later in life he once commented on it's scientific validity. But science wasn't the point of the story; morality and social issues were. This movie gets none of right. It's production value is very bad. Surprising that it's a year 2000 movie, so it says. It looks like a bad movie from the 70's. Funny that it's a Roger Corman produced movie because it looks like some of the worst he's ever produced. The original story was a simple presentation with a lot of subtle hints concerning moral and social issues of our own. The movie could've kept it just as simple. Instead it's a disaster movie wannabe.
