Deadly Obsession (2003)


My film "Deadly Obsessions" is now on YouTube.  It's for mature audiences, so you'll need to open it in your app because it's age restricted.  I figured I put a link here and see if anyone would like to see it.  It's kind of a neo-noir type film.  A lot of the criticism is that it's too talky, but I did try and do a noir type film in the present day.  It's 101 minutes, and if have time to kill take a look.  It took 5 years to make since I was editing it on film, and I usually got money from working a day job.  Hence the length of the movies completion.  I had some great actors, and you may recognize Rebecca played by Irene Glezos whose been in a number of episodes of Law & Order.  All the actors were great and a big shout out to Karen Stanion, Michelle Verhoeven, and Nick Capous.  Without them the film would not be nearly as good as it turned out to be.  One more add would be to Laundrea Lyn Thomas whose help and determination got this film done.  She passed in 2009 and she was very talented and lovely lady to boot.  She is sincerely missed.  I hope you enjoy the film, and I appreciate any comments.  At least you can see what this cinephile made, on an extremely low budget.  Thanks!

Megan (2022)

The film Megan is a sci-fi/horror film with a lot of dark humor, which makes the movie so interesting to watch.  I had to say this was not on my radar to see.  I thought maybe one day on cable or streaming, but my youngest wanted to see it and so I was game.  I'm glad I did see this and I was pleasantly surprised how good it was.  I should also say seeing this at he movies was a treat.  The direction, the cinematography, and the whole feel of the film gave me an appreciation of this film that I would not have gotten otherwise. To label this a horror film would be a mistake.  It has horror elements in it but it's science fiction more than anything else with a dash of horror.  I do like that the film takes the old Frankenstein myth and updates it to the digital era.  I think because of this the film is a better for it.  The graphic violence is played off screen which works.  If you're a gore hound you will be disappointed, but it does not ...

Lee (2024)

Lee is a movie about the combat photographer Elizabeth Lee Miller  a fashion model who became an acclaimed war correspondent for Vogue magazine during World War II.  It's a fascinating journey told in flashback as she is interviewed by someone about her career and her times in Europe.  It's an extremely interesting journey and one that you'll find fascinating.  How Lee dealt with sexism, and being a women n a male dominated profession.  The film is shot as though it were shot during the late 40's in color using the stocks they had in the 40"s.  The Germans shot in Agfa color while the American's shot in Kodachrome, but in the film Lee is shooting Black and white stills since that was the prevalent stock of the day. Yet the photography of the film feels like post war Agfa film stock   The film was directed by Ellen Kuras who is a cinematographer of some noted films such as "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", my favorite "Summer of Sam", ...

The 4:30 Movie (2024)

Image
  So after hearing about the making of this film last year I was intrigued.  Full confession I'm a Kevin Smith fan.  I saw Clerks in 1994 three times and back in 1992 Robert Rodriguez's film El Mariachi set my brain on fire, so when Mr. Smith's film "The 4:30 Movie" was released I had to see it.  In the NYC area there was a show called the 4:30 Movie, which would host an assortment of different movies.  It was on channel 7 WABC NYC.  There would be Planet of the Apes week, or monster week, and a favorite of mine was Godzilla week.  Everything a young boy could imagine and hope for, so I was intrigued by Mr. Smith's film and why he called it "The 4:30 Movie". What the film is about is sort of a autobiography of Kevin Smith growing up in New Jersey in the Atlantic Highlands neighborhood, and how he became obsessed with movies.  It is a cute story about friends and first loves, which takes us back to 1986.  Kevin does a great job at recreating t...
