I just recently caught these two on cable. I had high expectations when they came out, but reviews were so lukewarm that I lost interest.
Now that I've seen them, I think the critics didn't go far enough, especially for "The Black Dahlia." None of the reviews I read indicated how howlingly bad this movie was. It was a horrible concoction of someone trying to mimic "Chinatown," "LA Confidential" and "The Wizard of Oz," I think. Whew.
"Hollywooodland" was just boring. How do you manage to make that story boring?
Just wanted to rant about them because I thought those two movies would be delicious and they weren't.
