Blind (2004)
Cool Concept - Horrible Acting
It is what it is. A male version of Buffy. The camera work and makeup is fantastic but the acting, mainly from the male lead is absolutely horrible, hell if you didn't know better you'd think it was a comedy. This guy must have been cast for his martial arts abilities and not for his acting. The fighting is good, the gore is great but you just can't escape the over acting and pretension that this guy exudes. It really makes this film unwatchable. Could have this been good? Yeah it could have been great. But with a performance that makes William Shatner look like Marlon Brando, the whole thing becomes a complete waste of time!
Master of the Game (2002)
A good Play maybe, but not a good movie.
This would have been a great play - it all takes place in two locations and it has great character dialogue, but its not enough. Since it was shot in mostly one small room there is no room for intersteting camera moves or angles. After a third of the move the director has exhausted every perspective and the visuals becoming boring & repeative.
This film was shot HD 24p and it looks amazing. But there were huge errors in Art Direction, props that weren't available at that time period were used and they even used the wrong costumes for the Nazi's. In one scene near the beginning I swear that I along with others saw a Map of Texas being used for Germany. While the dialogue is interesting the basis of the story would never happen. No way ever would a group of german soliders indulge a Jew/American in a game that you know they will lose. It would never happen.
This would make an interesting play in some experimental theater but as a motion picture it comes across as boring and contrived.
Insignificant Other (2002)
Superb!
This is a movie that sadly most people will never get the chance to enjoy. A digital independent feature that is more ambitious than most Hollywood products these days. The script is smart, funny and original. If you get the chance check it out - it has twists and turns that will keep you guessing and some great dialogue between the characters.
Harry, un ami qui vous veut du bien (2000)
I really don't understand what the fuss is all about
This is a very boring, all around bad movie. Everyone likens this to the Hitchcock classic and I really can't see the comparisons. It's long and not very funny. maybe it loses something in the translation, like a PLOT, but I have seen movies of the week that were more captivating.
