A Brilliant Conflict

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

The Land of College Prophets shows much promise and will likely be the stepping stone to a great career for writer/director/star, Thomas Edward Seymour. The movie, while being primarily an action film with supernatural/comic book elements, has great dialogue and narration throughout the film. While obviously special effects and a larger budget could have made the film more appealing visually, I would call this an all around success for the filmmaker. This is what indie films are all about and it is rare that you get to see a truly independent action film. Land of College Prophets is a film that any comic fan should see. I look forward to seeing more work from the Hale Manor team in the coming years.

This is one of those movies that looks promising. But it really lets that promise down. It's neither good or bad good (in the campy sense), merely very very boring. And that's how a film really fails.The apparent aim was to make a campy sort of movie - you have a cast of ridiculous characters seemingly out of various animated comedies like Sealab, King of the Hill and possibly South Park. You have one bald guy who likes to dress like a priest, another guy who wears army fatigues (and looks like the guy who mutters from King of the Hill), a goofy Science Teacher, another bald guy who wears a deck of cards on his arm.The trouble is, none of the concepts really works. All of the actors play their roles too tightly, and it comes off as more pretentious than anything else. The only exception would be the campus cop leader.The plot apparently revolves around a romantic dispute over a guy in drag. This was when I started putting the DVD player on "x4". Nothing much happens, but near the end we get sort of a surreal sort of fight with a guy painted blue and wearing a helmet and everyone else.

Writing a review without spoilers isn't the easiest thing to do, but none-the-less, there couldn't be a better film with less of a budget. The original story and casting are two of the stronger points in this movie that stick out the most. The Land of College Prophets (2005)touched every genre but family, sorry kids. There hasn't been a better cameo appearance in the history of movies that topped THE Pranav Thakkar in this film (must see). Not even even Eliza Dushku and Ali Larter in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, or Alanis Morissette and Janeane Garofalo in Dogma. This film wasn't drawn out, or too time consuming. a must see for any film fanatic with an appreciation towards hard work & dedication.

The movie begins with Tommy(Thomas Edward Seymour) carrying Rye(Philip Guerette)through Syne Hollow, an ancient forest and battle ground.The Voice of Tommy is heard describing events leading up to this moment and why they are considered 'College Prophets'.We meet the cast of characters in a blaze of comic book glory, introducing each character as if they were an Action figure. Jonah Joe( Russ Russo )is introduced heading up the bad guy unit of the film. Third Reich Jones(Champion Bodybuilder,Paul DeSimone)is also introduced as English being his second language.The film takes us through Robinson College where these broods study in the town of Pharisee,nice biblical reference, not to mention, the priest's cloak worn by the lead character Tommy throughout the entire film.We enter a world where an Evil wishing well called 'The Well that ate Children' exists almost a living,breathing force.It is awoken by the battle between Tommy and Rye over Tommy's girlfriend Bells(Tina Angelillo).The Well recruits its minions including Third Reich Jones, Billy and Million to rid the town of all that exists and feed the well its dead.A battle between the forces of man and nature.Sometimes all that man can do is.........fix its own mistakes...in the land of college prophets.
