A Relative Thing (2003)
Powerful Film! Moving and Genuine
I really liked this movie. I thought it was very honest and meaningful. I was pleasantly surprised. I saw this film at the Palm Springs Festival and at one point which I can't mention without giving away an important part of the plot – All the sound drifts down and the audience was absolutely silent and you could feel how everyone, not only myself, was entirely suspended in that moment and enraptured with the film. The direction was right on as was the cinematography and the music and not to mention kudos to the actors for being such a wonderful ensemble. I was fortunate to catch this in a theater and happened upon it when I purchased the BEST OF THE FEST package sold at Nordstrom's where I saw it on DVD. I would love to see it in a theater again though.
Crimes of the Past (2009)
A Very Good Independent Film
The movie transcended many of the usual independent films. It certainly had a soul to it. It's not a movie packed with special effects that blow your mind nor is it an action packed movie. It's a movie that if you tune in, will bring you along at a very good pace as the relationships build and develop. My sense was the storyline wasn't as thick as it should have been and the villain should have had more impact, but nonetheless I think it was beautiful and I'd recommend it to an intelligent audience member. It's not exactly an intense action film but the story leaves you pondering afterward about your own relationship and a movie that leaves you thinking. The direction, cinematography were very well done and the acting was truly solid.
