Parasomnia (2008)
terrific psychological thriller
I thought most people who see this movie would like it if your into this kind of thing.But after reading some of the bad reviews on here i feel compelled to stick up for this movie because i thought it was fantastic and would hate for people to miss it because of a few ignorant people. Laura baxter played by cherilyn Wilson is a sleeping beauty who suffers from a rare disorder called parasomnia and as such sleeps most of the time except for a few minutes here and there where she wakes up.While visiting a friend in the same hospital danny sloan comes across the path of both laura and the "pyscho" in the next room byron volpe who is strung up in his room(think hannibal). After learning laura is going to be taken to another hospital where a doctor with very questionable ethics is going to treat her like a "lab rat" danny decides to break her out and captivated by her beauty wants to look after her himself. Not long after she moves in many problems arise and murders start occurring. Cherilyn Wilson does an amazing job as laura and i can definitely see why both byron and danny are so taken with her because the movie probably wouldn't have been half as good if someone too well known like an angelina jolie had been in the role. The movie is perfectly paced,wonderfully acted and although its unrealistic if you can accept it for what it is you will enjoy this movie immensely.
Lost Dream (2009)
Very disappointing...
I stumbled upon lost dream after looking for movies with an actress called katie stuart who is in this movie. After reading the storyline i thought this could be quite an interesting movie. I was wrong. The lead character (perry played by michael welch)plays a bit of a tortured soul and i was thinking this could be similar to the fantastic prozac nation made in 2002.Perry was someone that i could really relate to in the fact that he is always picking out what is wrong with humanity and is always asking questions there aren't really answers to and nothing really seems to make him happy. The thing is though i haven't had a privileged life and hot girlfriend(katie stuart) amongst other things. This is really where perry loses all his sympathy from the viewer and myself as he just comes off as a whiny annoying little boy who acts like his lollipop was taken once as a child and he's never got over it. Giovanni like most viewers see him for what he is but perry feels like he isn't really seeing him at all and he's not the rich silver spoon kid everyone thinks he is.The movie goes at a snails pace,under uses the two female characters in the movie and his father who he is supposed to be so disillusioned over yet he never even appears in the film!! All i can say is at least i was glad with the ending. Although anyone with half a brain probably would have worked it out after 30 minutes or so if not sooner.
