Messiah (2004)
Nice images, great wardrobes, but what is it?
I saw this film in film school, (one of the producers was a classmate)and although the cinematography was very beautiful and the wardrobe was authentic, I think the story line and the progression of the whole picture was a mess. The pacing and editing missed and it was very confusing - I don't know why it took so long, (especially for a short) to get to the point. It feels like were going around this church for days until they reveal the girl in the priesthood. A good idea for a story - one that is over ninety minutes, but not for a short.
Sling Blade (1996)
A Lesson In Film making
Sling Blade is a film that goes back to the basics of good STORY TELLING! It doesn't rely on special effects, quick cuts or slick nonsense to keep its audiences. It was a story that told a story in real time and the old fashioned way! Great job Billy Bob Thorton.
The Rock (1996)
Sean Connery eat your words
When this film came out, I recall Sean Connery blasting Michael Bay and saying all kinds of bad things about him as a director, (similar to Al Lewis (Grandpa Musnter) about Robert Zemeckis). Anywho - I think this is the best thing Connery has been in since his 007 days and I don't think he's been in anything near as good since.
Cliffhanger (1993)
Reny Harlin finally gets it
Will someone please tell me how someone like Reny Harlin can make a good film like this, then do Cut Throat Island and the worst film of all time, Driven? Stallone and Harlin did a great job, so my counsel for him (them) stick to what works. This film is very enjoyable.
