I was excited to see what Don Boner had in-store for us with "Somewhere in Indiana." He has definitely stepped up his game! The is far superior in writing and directing than "Loser's Lounge". He gives us characters that we genuinely care about throughout the entire story. There were a few recognizable faces in the cast and a lot of new faces as well. Colin Alexander and Tiffany Bullock did a great job in their "flashback" scenes. Rural Indiana provided a great background for the action of the film. I went to a sold-out screening of this show back in December of 2004. If Boner continues to head in this direction, we should be seeing some great things from him.

Mediocre Mystery

A friend of mine had a DVD copy of this film, so I thought I would give it a try and watch it. I wasnt that impressed with it at all. The direction was non-existent! The story itself was not bad. I enjoy murder mysteries, but I had a hard time following this one. I did like how there were many people in the town who had the motive to murder Mariana. But then when you find out what actually happened, it was very confusing and not very believable. As far as acting goes, the actors looked like they wanted to do more with their scenes, but they seemed very stifled by the utter lack of direction. I thought Laura Parish did a fine job as Ginger, she was given ALOT of dialogue and she handled it well. Vickie Smith also was good as Lisa Losers, the bar owner. Her acting style was very subtle which played well against some of the overacting by her co-stars. Cassandra Schomer and Micah Shane Ballinger were given little to do with their parts, which is a waste of two very good actors. Overall I gave this movie a 5 out of 10, not a complete waste of time, but not great!
