6 Angels (2006)
Could have been better with a bigger budget
Rented this at a Hollywood Video years ago when Video Stores still existed. I picked it up because the cover art looked really cool. Angels with guns, looked interesting. Popped the DVD in, and realized the cover art was a lie, looked nothing like they advertised. Thought it was going to be a high budget fantasy action film, instead it is an extreme Micro-Budget film. The actors looked like they were casted based on their looks, not their acting. The whole movie is filmed 4:3 not 16:9 with what looks like a camera anyone could get at Wal-Mart. Fight scenes have horrible choreography, looked like they were going for a Matrix like look and failed. The gun fights are terrible, over acting the recoil, and there is no gun blast effects so it looks like they are just shaking the guns. There is nudity in it so the movie will still sell to the lowest common denominator. Movie ends on a sequel that will never happen. The story on the other hand is really good and original. 3 good angels and 3 bad ones fighting for eternity in the battle for good and evil. One of the angels figures out how to break the cycle and shift it so evil can have the advantage. If only this film had anywhere between $30-$100 million budget, it could have been a classic fantasy action film.

Spinal Tap for Filmmakers
A friend of mine showed me this movie over vacation. We have worked in films together in the past. He told me that anyone who is a filmmaker or is currently working in independent films needs to see this movie.
Now a lot of people don't think this movie is funny because they will never get the jokes, unless they have worked in low budget films before. I have worked on a couple of nightmare projects myself and almost everything this film jokes about has either happened to me, or, on and off the film set to the rest of the crew. So far we haven't had anyone die on the set yet. This film is so close to the truth of what it is like to work on low budget films. The only people who will find this movie funny is filmmakers. It's just like Spinal Tap for filmmakers.
