In Medias Res (2011)
Classical interpretation of the original fall from grace.
"In Medias Res" is based on Paradise Lost and offers a deeper, richer and fuller experience than most any movie about the Bearer of Light turned Prince of Darkness.
The cinematography and shots of the sky and scenery within the main location are spectacular. Director Joe Perry builds and hinges the movie around Satan and the construct works. Keith Stahle delivers an utterly chilling, charismatic, unpredictably brilliant performance that is as impressive within animalistic, demonic ambition as it is vulnerable and realistic within human emotion. He freaks you out but you love him for it. Melanie Cruz is effervesently wise, hopeful, maternal, timeless, and virtuous as God's liason Michelle, a part she is inspired casting for. Unfortunately, Craig Leibowitz makes an earnestly determined effort but sometimes falls flat as the lead Redondo.
Romantic Weirdos and the Land of Oddz (2007)
Clever, artful, insightful, interesting, unconventional, unusual and thought provoking.
Romantic Weirdos is an intimate journey into the lives of four emotionally damaged outcasts. Pariahs in their communities each doesn't grow up as they feel utterly alone until their paths cross in the merry old Land of Oddz.
As the stars align over their meeting, the misfits embark on a journey through Hollywood Land, compelled to question traditional ideologies, and determined to challenge Hollywood's materialistic hype and quasi-religious worship of celebrity. However courageously dedicated to the crusade, every man's journey ultimately leads inward to uncover overlooked truths from the past and find purpose and meaning in life.
Fueled by individual resolve and their newly found friendship, these four unlikely friends take an emotional roller coaster of self-discovery through the heart of Hollywood. But are they strong enough to withstand shocking revelations that may leave one of them behind?
Thus is a powerful and utterly unique experimental art film. You'll never see anything quite like it. There's no place like Hollywood. Master story teller Joe Perry offers a fascinating and indepth take on tinsel town but only to those who will meet the movie maker halfway and think for themselves.
