Last Call (2004)
Stylish and Slick
I had the opportunity to see this and meet the director at the New Orleans Film Festival. Of all the movies shown which ranged from documentary, sci-fi, drama, romance and comedy this one really stood out for me. The style and cinematography were incredible. The story is witty and will make you rethink your views of the social scene and even love. It is the stories great concept that really challenged me to look at things differently. I won't give away any of the story. It's something you just have to experience to fully appreciate the work and talent put into this. David Drach brings a unique and interesting flavor that has been void in many movies today back to the big screen. I can't wait to see what's next for David Drach.
28 Days Later... (2002)
Better than most people will ever know.
What a cool movie. Most people see rip offs and no story, and most people are sheep. This movie tells a story of a great journey for its main characters. In the first 5 minutes your given the setting perfectly. Throughout the movie it leaves waiting to see what will happen next. The technique used to make this film is a real inspiration to film makers and film fans. The use of digital camera's fits the mood of the film wonderfully. This film is art unlike most of the Hollywood garbage were force fed. Most people would say this is a zombie film. I disagree. This is a film about the human spirit. The struggle to find our place, our goals, and our morals. Give it a try and see for yourself.
The Real World Movie: The Lost Season (2002)
Real Loser
I am a fan of the Real World and thought the idea of a Lost Season movie sounded pretty cool. Knowing that it was all an acted out production unlike the Real World was ok with me. The idea seemed original and interesting with a season gone very wrong and the tapes and footage being covered up. My first disappointment came with the marketing strategy used in the promotion. They seemed to try to go with the Blair Witch approach by saying there was a lost season of film not used due to a disaster of some sort. That was sort of cool and gave it an almost scary and suspenseful feel. Then the later advertising became annoying by using goofy reporters and very unreal Real World executives. These terrible ads made me not want to tune in to this 2-hour commercial free presentation. Still I gave it a chance having been pleased by previous M TV productions in the past. To my disappointment the movie was just as bad as the commercials. The appearance of some of the original Real World casts was a plus, and then the actors came in to play and ruined it all. The story was poorly written with no imagination and only cashing in on the cheap thrills that M TV uses so often such as sex, sexuality, and sex. M TV also tried to rip off on The Blair Witch Project once more with its jerky camera work. The acting was terrible which is weird since the magic of the Real World is the fact there is no acting. This idea had so much promise but just fell in the wrong hands to carry it out. I recommend not watching the re-airing of this movie and knowing M TV there will be plenty of re-airings in the future. After seeing this movie I think maybe M TV should hang up the filming hat and go back to the basics, namely music and leave films to some one else. In the end this Real World movie was a Real Loser.
Kung Pow: Enter the Fist (2002)
Good Ol Slap Stick Humor!
If you watch this movie looking for classic humor you have come to the wrong place. This is good ol slap stick humor which in my opinion is even funnier and more imaginative in its own way. This movie follows humor that is defined in movies like the naked gun or Spaceballs. This movie embodies what my friends and I do to movies anyway and that is add our own funnier lines. This is a Mystery Science Theater 3000 type of dialogue played out on screen. Even the digital work involved in this movie is great. It makes me want to watch the original movie used. Some people will not enjoy this film but who cares. If you love old cheesy Kung Fu movies you'll love this extremely funny spoof. Don't analyze everything in this movie just sit back with some friends and have fun watching and for all those critic's out there with a harsh word, I'd like to Kung Po you in the head.
