Allan Quatermain and the Temple of Skulls (2008)
Quatermain rules...
While watching the movie i kept trying to figure out which part the baddie, Hartford, played in "Pirates of the Caribbean". Anyone know? Anyways, I actually enjoyed the humor and simplicity of "Temple of Skulls". Sure, it seriously lacked action and adventure and the special effects sucked, BUT i enjoyed the acting, especially of the baddie and Quatermain. I think Michael came real close to the original character from the book, though it is a pity more time wasn't spent on his friendships and background story. I loved the authenticity of the warriors and the locations were flipping epic and amazing. That alone was worth the $20 for the DVD. Yeah, it's low budget, but an entertaining hour and a half i think.
Faith Like Potatoes (2006)
Sean Cameron Michael
I was fortunate to get this film as a present on DVD. And wow, what a movie. Frank Rautenbagh's acting as Angus is wonderful, while Jean Wilhelm's performance is a little weak, however, this could be due to the writing of the character in the script - perhaps not having enough room for development. Sean Cameron Michael as Fergus, Angus' brother, who's little son is killed in a tragic accident, is just brilliant. His performance is one of the most moving portrayals I've seen on the big screen in a long time. An excellent move on behalf of the producers to get him on board on the project. Van den Bergh's cinematography is breath taking - awesome locations, while the music too fits perfectly. There could have perhaps been more character development in the relationship between Angus and Fergus, however, I suppose due to time constraints this may have been cut. Well worth a watch.
