... View MoreI have never heard of this film (or the cast and crew) - borrowed the DVD from my local public library which has quite a good across the board range of films to rent. So- after viewing the film I checked IMDb to see what other people think of it and I found that at least one person has a view that I share- like that person I found it to be a very badly edited incoherent mess of a film with pretty much no redeeming features apart from the main female actor who I think is rather cute. Once you figure out what one scene means it jumps to another scene then another and another etc.... and without anything in those scenes to link them together. I am all for low budget cinema - but I have seen much better examples than this one. Better luck next time you young independent film makers, you.
... View MoreI highly recommend this movie for anyone looking for a good time. Not only does it prove to be an entertaining film but also a full and well told story. After being shown the trailer I immediately sought out a copy of the film and was not disappointed. Definitely, two thumbs up in my book. I'm not sure how many films are behind the director of this movie, but I would imagine they are well experienced as the beats of this film are well formulated and the action along with substance of story are greatly executed to the best ability. If that isn't enough, the character are portrayed by an excellent cast. So much so, that I am currently seeking out other projects from the starring thespians. Often I am disappointed when a not so familiar film is recommended to me. In this case the recommendation was dead on. Find a copy,of this movie now!
... View MoreMemory Lane is a no-budget film directed by Shawn Holmes about an intense young man who visits the afterlife in order to avenge his girlfriend's death. I don't want to give anything away so I will just say that it's a solid story.The possible problem is that there is no budget. However, don't confuse "no-budget film" with "amateurish film" because Memory Lane is highly stylized and has good pacing. Memory Lane shows that Holmes is a highly resourceful filmmaker. This film is the embodiment of Buckminster Fuller's concept of ephemeralization: the science and art of doing more with less. Memory Lane is the result of the DIY ethic at work. I imagine one of the benefits of having a budget of $300 is that the focus was on telling a good story in a cinematic way; the filmmakers succeeded.Watching the film, I couldn't help but notice the similarity to films by Darren Aronofsky, David Lynch, and David Cronenberg. Memory Lane kicks butt and takes names. I would like to see what his team could do with a little more money.
... View MoreThis movie was a really enjoyable take on finding one's self while drowning in the middle of chaos. Considering the low cost to make this film, I found it was very enjoyable to watch, with superb acting and the cinematography was just absolutely stunning. I do not want to give anything away but I will say that It builds slowly and develops fully into something that will keep you asking questions long after the credits have rolled. Overall this was something that I felt in my heart to be worth the time spent watching it,and can't wait to recommend it to others. It weaves an intricate plot with believable yet mind bending fantasy.
