Stuck Between Stations: Movie Review

A relationship drama about the characters and what they have to say.

Not too often do small, indie, unknown films come along and engage you with dialogue, only dialogue. That’s what makes “Stuck Between Stations” such a good movie. There isn’t really a story as it just meanders along with two semi- directionless people on one night with parties and conversations. The trailer suggested there was a mysterious element, but none to be found. Rebecca and Casper connect and reconnect and we connect with them on a very meaningful and personal level.		2011 Directed by: Brady Kiernan Screenplay by: Sam Rosen, Nat Bennett Starring: Zoe Lister Jones, Sam Rosen and Josh Hartnett

Columbus Circle: Movie Review

The plot of crimes moves along quickly but leaves the characters behind.

A collection of good, underused actors and actresses have been assembled in "Columbus Circle". It's the type of place that is described as anything can happen there. I'll take their word for it. The events that occur in the movie get increasingly far-fetched as we go along, and unfortunately, to the detriment of the enjoyment of the film.		2012 Directed by: George Gallo Screenplay by: George Gallo, Kevin Pollack Starring: Selma Blair and Amy Smart

Rid of Me: Movie Review

 

A bleak character study encompassing the best and discomfort of a dark comedy.

Advertised as a black comedy, and that’s all, “Rid of Me” suggests that there is an event or plot twist that should not be revealed. And indeed it does open with an obscene, aberrant action which most people have the little bit of self-restraint required to never perform such an act. Following that opening sequence, the film reveals two subtle twists which show how unique and independent this is.		2011 Directed by: James Westby Screenplay by: James Westby Starring: Katie O'Grady
