Red State (2011)
Saw this in Indianpaolis
I had the pleasure of watching this when Kevin brought it to Indianapolis. I wouldn't call it a horror... I'd call it a Tarantino style action movie... when I first heard Smith say he was doing a horror, I thought it would hands down suck... I was very mistaken.
Red State is honestly one of the best movies I have ever seen. It had laughs, insane 'Christians', guns, action, etc. I paid $72.15 to see this movie, I'd do it again if I had the chance.
If you get a chance to see this before it's theatrical release around October, do yourself a favor and GO! If not, let the anticipation build until October as it will be worth it. Smith has a gold mine with this movie and I'm glad it came to be. He couldn't have done it without Michael Parks and John Goodman as Parks sells his character and is completely believable... I imagine the man will win an award or two for his role, Goodman was nearly as fantastic in the delivery of his character.
The Confessional (2009)
Was given an opportunity to see this movie and it's wonderful!
We find that our villain Leonard is what Sylar (of Heroes) would be without powers. I first watched the trailer and a teaser for this on YouTube and was awed by it, I was then fortunate enough to be allowed to view the film in it's entirety. I have to say that I absolutely love it. It has a nice Hitchcock feel to it but at the same time brings something new to the screen. Peter Quartaroli does a phenomenal job playing a deranged man masquerading as a Catholic priest in a small town. At first some might be turned off by the character development that takes place the first hour, however any and all thriller fans will fall in love with the movie as it moves past the first hour... don't get me wrong the first hour is great too, I just know most today are accustomed to senseless violence in the first seconds of a film thanks to horrible creations such as the Saw movies. If you are a Hitchcock fan, then you will love this movie. It is my opinion that if Alfred were still alive, he'd commend James Anthony Cotton on making what hopefully will become a cult-classic that also takes the masses by storm.
James Anthony Cotton, give us more films like this.
Zinwrath: The Movie (2005)
Excellent!
I have to say, this is an excellent piece, within days of release online it had been translated unofficially into several languages and even earned itself a mention on G4. If you get a chance, check Zinwrath out! The movie is absolutely hilarious and took many many hours to capture what was needed to make it, and even more to put it together. This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen done by tweaking animation from a game. This goes beyond anything you have ever seen. At only 11 minutes and 32 seconds this is by far the greatest thing ever. If you have ever played an mmorpg (World of Warcraft in this instance) then you will die laughing at how realistic the dialogue is... and instead of words in bubbles above heads... you get... VOICES! Mwahaha, get on google and learn more about Zinwrath and check it out. You won't regret it!
