Feast of Love (2007)
The book was better
The book was set in Ann Arbor (Michigan), home of the University Of Michigan and much of the 60's counterculture. The movie was shot and set in Portland. Changing the setting in a story like this is like taking a story set in 1920's New York City and changing it to modern day L.A. This was done because Hollywood film execs don't even know anything exists between New York and L.A. They cast women as men, Frenchmen as Scots, and only rarely do they get history right. If you are from another country or another planet, details like this may not matter to you. If you think things like places and people matter, you may find fault with this film.
Blubberella (2011)
Genuinely FUNNY!
This is the sort of low budget movie that normally goes nowhere but on the strength of its comedy alone, it's actually fun to watch! Perhaps the only movie made out of another movie (except "What's Up, Tiger Lily", this film is a parody of "Bloodrayne: The Third Reich" using the same cast and crew but is eminently more watchable. Less ridiculous than the "Naked Gun" movies, it's a farce but a very clever one. It shows just how much you can do with a sense of humor and some "good" writing. The star shows a very rare ability to make fun of herself in an age where "fat" jokes and every other sort of politically incorrect humor has been banned by the "culture Nazis". Enjoy!
Things Behind the Sun (2001)
Good Soundtrack, Awful Film
This movie had potential but it seems it was mainly a vehicle for the director to try to exorcise her personal demons. The male lead spends the vast majority of the film mewling and whining ineffectually about what he failed to do as a child while failing (again) to provide any consolation to the victim. Perhaps he was a projection of the director's feeling of helplessness, but it makes for an annoying and unsympathetic character. The saving grace is a good soundtrack made up of obscure but wonderful 60's classics and some great new songs. If the musicians had been anything like the male lead, they would have moped about what they hadn't recorded or written, let down everyone who depended on them, and stood by doing and saying nothing while pretending to help.
