Kissing on the Mouth (2005)
An excellent film
I wasn't familiar with the filmmaker's work, and I wasn't expecting much when I rented this from Netflix. A real life movie mixed with documentary style interviews didn't sound like a great idea, but I read some good reviews and decided to give it a try. The characters and situations were so natural, it's hard to believe everything portrayed here was from a script. Even the sex scenes were so unsensational, it made them seem totally realistic, I wouldn't be surprised if the actors were lovers in real life. This movie is exactly why I love indie films. Shot on absolutely no budget, this is one of the best movies I've seen this year. This movie kept me riveted to the screen for an hour and 48 minutes, and left me wanting more when it ended. And the ending.. wow what a burn.
Pumpkin (2002)
Was this movie a goof?
This movie was so bad, it's great. I laughed so hard at the part when the guy drove that old Lincoln over the cliff.. I almost wet my pants. If you want to get a bunch of people together, and goof on a movie, this is the one. There are all the stereotypical roles like Carolyn's rich parents, Pumpkin's over protective mother, the mean sorority girls, the snobby sorority girls, the jock boyfriend, and more. There is also trite dialogue, horrible acting, scenes that don't make any sense, and a predictable ending. Put all this together, and you get a wonderful train wreck of a movie. The only sad note to this was that Sundance Film Festival nominated this "drama" for the Grand Jury prize. I don't know if I can take them seriously after reading that.
