Reviews
Sterling: The Secret of the Lost Medallion (2009)
Boring, Bad acting, editing, but "clean"
If you're into films that are so bland are vague about spiritual things, this film is ideal for you.
It likes a spine when discussing God, and wants to be an adventure story without a hint of suspense. More so, we don't care about the characters.
The film suffers from using video to shoot fiction, and producing a first-draft screenplay. The web designer-turned video editor delivers a bland imitation of 1970's After School Special-like stories, whereby the only ones gloating over this film's release are the friends and family of the cast and crew.
There is nothing remotely controversial about this film, but there is also nothing interesting.
Had it been edited down to a 10-minute short, and had a professional musical composer create a score, it could have been competitive at film festivals.
As-is, a waste of time. The makers simply prove they know how to press buttons on their editing software.
Perfect for local church video productions.
Movies like this make "Fireproof" look like Shakespeare.
