…AROUND (2008)

THREE YEARS WITH
A FILM SCHOOL FUTURE
GOOD FIRST FILM

around-hi-res-saver-thumb

Directed by: David Spaltro
Written by: David Spaltro
Starring: Robert W. Evans, Molly Ryman,
Ron Brice, Berenice Mosca, Marcel Torres
Additional Syllables: A surprisingly good independent film by first time director David Spaltro. It had genuinly funny moments, and had my complete attention through out the film. There was a few cringe worthy moments like having a house built of credit cards coming crashing down, but overall good. I would recommend it to most people who like a good story, and good acting.

UNIQUE FILM

irected by: Darren Lynn Bousman
Written by: Darren Smith, Terrance Zdunich
Starring: Anthony Head, Paul Sorvino,
Alexa Vega, Terrance Zdunich
Additonal Syllables: I actually really liked the first third of the film, but by the end of this film it was really quite bad. Not a work of art, not a cult classic in the making, but given the choice of this or Mamma-Mia, I’d take Repo any day of the week.

KOYAANISQATSI (1982)

SERIES OF
SHOTS OF LIFE ON EARTH
GOOD BUT LONG

koyaanisqatsi

Directed by: Godfrey Reggio
Writers: Ron Fricke, Michael Hoenig
Additional Syllables: I really wish I had seen this film back in the 80’s. It is a beautifully shot film, but I can’t help but compare it to other films I have seen since this came out. This would have blown my mind if I had seen it first.
