Speed Relationship-ing (2008)
Cute short film stars real life husband & wife!
I was looking up some movies and came across Anita Barone....since I haven't seen her in anything new in a while I was excited to find this fun little film! Making it even better for me is the fact that the 2 are married in real life! The movie seems to be a take on the whole speed-dating, internet relationship sites and fast paced world of today and it does a decent job. Obviously there is not too much to review as it's only 3 minutes long but I feel it showed the basics of a relationship - the ups and downs and emotions. Cleverly written, very well acted and just enough humor so it didn't seem rushed or over-done in the 3 minutes. That's got to be the hard part, getting the story all in from A to Z in the few minutes allowed. I can see many spending too much or too little time on certain points of the plot, ruining their story all together but this does not. Enjoyable and fun, especially if you really enjoy the particular actors like I do.
A Cool, Dry Place (1998)
A terrific find on cable!
Wow, I am so very glad I came across this movie on cable as it is a fine piece of work. It is a shame I had never heard of it - I think it could have been a huge hit. Vince Vaughn portrays his character with such strength - the chemistry between him and his son (Bobby Moat) is amazing (I especially love the way he calls him "Cal"). I truly felt for Vince's character in this movie - he seemed to show every emotion he was going through without over acting. Even though there is a serious story here, it is nice to see the humor he is known for. Bobby Moat is incredible. A fine young actor who has great potential to grow in the field. I enjoyed his portrayal of Cal - not too annoying or whiney, very funny and a smart kid. Yes, those lines were written for him, but he delivers them like no other. Joey Lauren Adams does a fabulous job here also. I loved her in Chasing Amy and she does not let me down in this movie either. She is intense and plays her role perfectly. Her scenes with Vince are so real. A fine acting job indeed. I had not heard of Monica Potter prior to this movie and it actually took me a while to be sure it wasn't Julia Roberts! I really didn't think it was as her acting style is much different (which is a good thing, it is hard to look so much like an already famous actor and hold your own) but when I finally got past worrying about if it were her or not, I did get to see how good she was in this film. All around I would have to say the acting was excellent. The story line is very good - not too typical (father raising his son is not heard of much) so it did have some freshness to it. I wasn't bored at any point in the movie and actually could not wait to see the outcome. It held my attention and had me wanting more. I honestly wish more people knew about this movie. Anytime anyone mentions they are going to rent a movie and asks for suggestions, I tell them about this winner! A must for my home collection!
