Adaline (2015)
Good movie. Recommended
I think that the crew and cast did an amazing job with this film considering they were operating with an extremely low budget. The acting was good and natural, the cinematography was very well done. As a psychological terror thriller it comes off very well. There were some truly scary moments and several sub plots that added a great deal to the watchability and tension in the movie. Much better than a lot of indie films that I've seen. It's been accepted to 10 or more film festivals and was awarded the best horror film medal in at least one of them. Most movies don't even make it to one, so getting into 10 of them (both domestic and international) is quite an achievement. I'd love to see what the producer and director could do with a larger budget.
One Weekend a Month (2004)
Excellent film with great acting
I saw the film at the Latino Film Festival in San Francisco and was totally blown away by the power and realism of the film itself and by the portrayal of the main character by Ms. O'Connor. The film deals with what happens to a single mother of one when she is told that she is being called up by the Army reserve to go to Iraq for a year. The raw emotions displayed in the film is exactly what I would expect to happen under these circumstances. I would recommend this film to anyone who has never experienced what the lady in the film is going through regards being sent off to war without much notice. An extremely traumatic experience. I hope this leads to more exposure for Mr. Escobar and Ms. O'Connor as they are both first rate.
