Death Sentence (2007)
Hit me hard
I didn't know what to expect at all, but by the time it was over, I found myself relating to a character (Kevin Bacon) more than any other since Braveheart. I could feel the anger, the loss. Even though my mind understands the idea that vengeance is futile (which is well depicted in a closing scene), I could not say that I would not do the same thing my self. Trying to relate to that family was what really drew me in. Beautiful camera work, lighting, production design. I sat in the theater alone for 15 minutes, going through a myriad of emotions. When a movie can touch you like that, then its worth it's weight in gold. Congrats to the whole team on this one. The Baldwin's, Woo, Kevin Bacon, everyone involved. They should be proud of it.
One Day Like Rain (2007)
O.D.L.R. is d-e-e-p
This is a truly unique and deep film. If you like visual pictures that are not all spelled out for you, you will at the very least appreciate this one. Great production value and creativity with this truly independent film.
The direction and cinematography are strong. The story,intentionally enigmatic, asks you to make up your own mind as to the deeper meaning of the whole thing. And the filmmakers say, all of our interpretations are valid. Just like a good painting doesn't tell you how to interpret it, One Day Like Rain can be seen in many different ways, depending on the perspective of the viewer, and the life story they bring to it. BRAVO
