Dream Boy (2008)
2/10
Meh of a movie
1 September 2010
I found this first half of the movie to be alright. There isn't a lot of talking and the small amount where someone does pipe up is hardly profound, this coupled with the worst music selections EVER! The lack of talking would have been better if the acting was better, I just found the acting to be incredibly awkward.

The second half of the movie left me thinking to myself, 'What just happened?' But not in a good way. The supernatural vibe at the end came out of no where, and the move between the dream world and real world plus the flashbacks was just too much. I was highly bemused by the whole movie. I understand this was a book so maybe taking something out of the book and turning it into a narration wouldn't have gone astray.

Latter Days (2003)
5/10
Good story, crappy acting

Warning: Spoilers
The plot and the writing of this film were very good. The story line had a twist that I was not expecting, and some of the quotes in the movie are very memorable. But, I the downfall of this movie (apart from the apparent lack of funding) would have to be the acting. At times in the movie I actually found myself laughing where the scene was quite obviously not something to laugh about, but the acting was appalling. For example I would highly suggest that Steve Sandvoss take some lessons on how to cry convincingly. But if you can look past below par acting then I would recommend this movie, and I think it is a must see for people from the LDS church.
