Laserblast (1978)
still laughing
I haven't actually seen this (yet) but I wanted to comment on Jeff V's comment... can't stop laughing... Loved your comments. I have to say this won'tactually stop me from watching it, but I'm sure I'll agree with you...But, well, I'm a regular attendee of the "Smithee Awards", and *must* see this movie now - based on your comments - if for no other reason that to find something to submit to them. If you don't know what the Smithee Awards are, they are an award show, held at Origins gaming convention each year in Columbus Ohio over 4th of July weekend where they show clips from really, really, really, horribly bad movies, and the audience gets to vote on them to select the winners in 19 categories. If you truly like bad movies - you would love this show.
Haven (2004)
Brilliant cultural view
I count myself lucky to have been able to see this movie at the Toronto Film Festival where it premiered. I thought the movie to be a brilliant look at the culture, something we as Americans don't usually see. The acting was wonderful from everyone in it. I enjoyed the way it was edited together, following separate story lines individually, then bringing them together in the end. I was completely surprised that this film was not immediately grabbed up and sent to screens everywhere. Then again, perhaps it was just too deep for some. I had no trouble following the action, although I've heard comments that some people found it confusing. Perhaps they weren't paying attention...
Hopefully without giving anything away for those who haven't seen it yet... I felt so terribly bad for Shy at the end of the movie.
I can't wait for Haven to hit big screens everywhere. I want all my friends to see it! BRAVO to everyone involved in its production.

UPDATE (Oct. 2006): I see Haven is FINALLY coming to theatres... However I have heard that the movie went through a MAJOR re-edit and is a lot different that the version we saw in Toronto. I'm sorry to hear that. But I will go see it and support it, no matter what. It has a great cast.
