The Source (2001)
Low Budget but interesting
I watched this movie with anticipation. I was looking for a good story, good acting, and great special effects. What I got was a great story, decent acting, and alright effects. You could tell they didn't have alot of money to use for this film. The acting was good tho. Sometimes overdone but most of the time believeable. I really think that more could have been done with this movie. If they put more into it then it would have been a better film. Like I said, the story was great (and I saw nothing in the film that even comes close to The Craft). I would change a few things if I had directed it, but I didn't, so it stays the way it is. It has been released here not as The Source but as The Surge (by The Asylum). I think if you are into low budget but good story lines then you will enjoy this one.
John Q (2002)
Excellent drama
This movie as many have endlessly pointed out has alot of messages thrown out. But, does it really matter? We weren't there to listen to the messages. We were there to watch a movie. Performances of others that we paid to see. This movie tackled the Health Care issue (alot yes) but if you were in this situation what would you do? The perfomances were excellent. Denzel was very believable as an American low class worker. The situations could be believable if it wasn't Hollywood telling it. Who would have ever thought that kids would have come to school with guns shooting up their classmates until it happened? Who would have actually thought that another country would defy us as the leading powerhouse nation and use an act of terrorism on us like they did? No one. Point is..you never know what will happen until it does. The situation that John Q created could actually happen no matter what anyone says.
And as for the person(s) that said that John Q was a terrorist in a sympathetic light....not true. He had no intention of hurting anyone. No, no one knew that but him but he did nothing to hurt anyone in the ER. He actually got them help and let them go. So, all in all, this movie is worth seeing! I enjoyed it and would pay to see it again!
