The Second Coming of Christ (2018)
It's so easy to dismiss this film...
Obviously, this was not a major blockbuster heavily funded by the huge studios in Hollywood, so it's easy to nitpick the low budget aspects of this independent film.
I for one, appreciated the message and the effort behind this film. Jason London is an exceptional actor, and he brings a refreshing amount of honesty and authenticity in his role as John in this picture. Tom Sizemore made a small appearance in this film, and I would have liked for him to have a larger role, since he is also a great actor.
Some of the other acting was not great - but that's to be expected in a lower budget film. The set design could have been better in places, even with the limited resources, and some of the CGI landscapes and backgrounds looked artificial. Those resources would have been better spent elsewhere.
Overall, I did enjoy the film, even with its shortcomings. Without the brilliance of London's acting talent, this film would have suffered far more. However, my biggest issue with it is its departure from biblical accuracy in its telling of the second coming of Christ. This aspect of the film left much to be desired. That aside, I did enjoy it for the most part.
The Legend of Granny Brown (2008)
Funny & Original
The Legend of Granny Brown is the latest installment from the talented and up and coming filmmakers Oriana East Productions. The story is a comical and creatively executed venture into the legend that surrounds the arguably actual existence of none other than Granny Brown, a warm and unassuming name that hides a terrifying history, and the dark and disturbing acts attributed to her.
Seth Little nails the role of the paranoid and hilarious Junior Pickett, hellbent on proving the existence of Granny; if he can even find the courage to try and face her. Other talent such as Leigh Meyers, Junior's annoyed cousin Suzy; Adrienne Harvey, playing Velveeta - too enamored with Junior to be concerned with the Granny nonsense; and the town's ill-conceived and scatterbrained teen mayor, Casey Carpenter, played by Micah Shane Ballinger - bring a host of talent to this fun and original film.
