BONAPETITRATATOU|LLEFLESH SKINTOSKIN...

From Dusk till Dawn we follow the antics of the Harlequin ‘Red Queen of hearts’ in this new epic adventure. It is intense and so is she that’s for sure.
Marvel style batman action with colour from dark dusks to light dawns.
No Batman appearance sadly, and yet no sad faces at all, as we follow the doll faced actress in her quest to get over her break up and stay out of killing fields with the characters at hand.
More afoot in terms of the characters, who are sliced and diced, as they hang in the balance between their crimes and justice. Justice takes the form of a real pragmatic police officer with her boxes of real-life cardboard and dim lit investigations.
She highlights the crimes and hopes for the best. The search is on ‘dimly’ -in other words behind closed doors- but also in the open wilds of the action filled fights and smashes and crashes of the crazy characters in this wonderous film. I guess she does her best and yet…
The scenes are filled with the other hybrid type of characters in the form of colourful beasts and creature hyenas and inanimates alike. They really do take over the movie…Watch out for the hamster gerbil in the bikini style ballet ‘tutu’ and for the studded pink leash-which has a life of its own as well… Ooo la la…they stand out ‘doll face like’ too…
The many colour filled smash hit musical scenes are full of memories of this and that in terms of the, a: diner style ‘Alicia Silverstone*’ movies -no mauls and all in this case, or b: Vegas style famous singers and ace card settings. The third c: is the restaurant type theme; bar like and all. All memories culminate in the burger and eggs sandwich -made or bought at the cereal supermarket. Superball bowl and browsing and brawling and growling.       
From club to jump to cut to cut of faces to change of make up and wardrobe to writing on the legs of the doll faced heroine, we can hardly keep up!
The story crux is a crunchy stone theft. Who ‘dunnit’ and why? Attention seeking for a league of female heroes? or money for a good time at a great place? Will she or he or they do the right thing or not??
Mafia style club boss is watching out for their crazy antic endings too...not just the nice lady cop!
Will the women sort it out and find the stone crystal and how and where and whom?       
Footnote at hand: *Stone of silver and crystal search…. etc…


Stamped Sealed and Delivered.
