Unbreakable (2000)
This movie works on many levels...and should be a t.v. series!
I loved this film. It's unique and powerful story deals with the feelings of self-doubt that all of us have. The exaggeration of characters plays beautifully with the on-edge camera work and quirky feel. The story took me by surprise in its simplicity, I guess I was expecting some kind of cosmic revelation. Instead, it was fun, and very unique. I would love to see this as a television series to find out what David does next, and how he grows into being his true self. SuperMovie!
The Sixth Sense (1999)
It's scary, it's touching and it kicks butt...
This movie worked for me for several reasons. It is a terrific adventure, well-written and beautifully layered. The plight of each character hits hard, and you really do feel their pain. It was SO nice to see a hit movie that isn't filled with profanity and sex, and the acting is outstanding. The music painted a perfect sorrowful background to a brilliantly written and directed piece of art. It was powerful without being "in your face" and left an impression with me that will last a long time. It's scary, it's touching and mostly, it kicks butt. I HIGHLY recommend this film for anyone looking for a good scare, and I think you'll get more than you bargained for - it's a great drama as well.
Monkey on Mama's Back (1998)
Entertaining, and isn't that the point?
I was at the Blue Sky International Film Festival also and caught this cool little feature. I was a little confused at first, by the competition between the storytellers and the actual story being acted out (by some pretty decent actors, I thought), but soon caught on to kind of an inner rhythm that kept me really entertained, and isn't that the whole idea of a movie? I thought the stories were hysterical and I liked how the people telling them were "real". The story about the two main guys was a little "ordinary" but well acted - especially Joseph Kucan as Richard. I have seen him in the game "Command and Conquer" and he is really good. All in all, I thought it was by far the best video feature shown there.
