Singin' in the Rain vs. Strange Days

Ah… the James Cameron movie written, not directed, by James Cameron, but directed instead by his then wife Kathryn Bigelow, who went on to much acclaim with her modern warfare pictures The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty. Strange Days is indeed strange, and it’s terrifying, and it’s brutal. It pushes you, it upsets you, and it stays with you. It’s got a weight to it that is incredibly effective. It also wins over the lighthearted romp of Singin’ in the Rain.
