Grayson (2004)
Masterful trailer for a film waiting to be made.
I've had the pleasure of watching this on the big screen (after putting it on DVD and borrowing an abandoned auditorium), and John's got a sharp sense of what makes a great action film. It doesn't hurt that the casting's well-done, either.
Batman Begins is probably going to be a good flick in the Frank Miller vein, but Fiorella manages to build on the original comic book mythos without condescending or becoming inaccessible to the general public -- a tight rope to walk. But then, as the man in Dick Grayson's shoes, he's probably used to walking them. Whether or not you see this fan film, pay attention to the name John Fiorella.
Everwood (2002)
Surprisingly original and unsugary.
This is probably the third or fourth "Dad chucks it all for a life in the country with his unbelieving children" series in the last 20 or so years of television. The difference is this one's got crackling dialogue, a remarkable cast, and genuinely interesting characters. Watch for Tom Amandes as the main character's
nemesis, the *other* town family doctor.
Nemesis 4: Death Angel (1996)
Low-key doesn't mean dull
I liked it. Granted, Sue Price is pretty easy on the eyes (if they ever decide to make a She-Hulk movie Sue's strong facial resemblance to Courtney Thorne-Smith would make a perfect before & after pair), but the main complaint I've heard so far is that there's too much talking and not enough violence. I thought this was what good SF was supposed to be about.
