Dominion: Prequel to the Exorcist (2005)
A masterful film from a maverick director
What the hell is crazy-gal on??? this is actually the original prequel of the Exocist. made before the awful "Beginning" and turned down by Morgan creek because it wasn't commercial enough for people like crazy-gal from Texas!! well it seems the studio was right but thank god the film has seen the light for other people with a brain to view and understand what Paul Scrader was doing. As usual he adds more depth and atmosphere than a thousand "screams" or "i know what your naughty neighbour did"
Do yourself a favour crazy-gal and stick to the less demanding fair showing at your local multiplex.
Mug (2004)
A Very Powerful Short Film
I Caught this short on the web and was blown away by it. not normally being a fan of "short films" i would actually describe it more like a short documentary film in the style of the Alan Clarke films of the 80's. the acting and the direction were spot on, almost like somebody had just captured all this going on for real. Apparently the writer/director made this short for less than £200?? I can't wait to see what he will do with more money.
It also put me in mind of the french crime films of the 70's (le Samurai etc)where very little dialogue is said but everything is conveyed in the eyes and the actions of the characters
So all in all highly recommended.
