Reviews

The main review of "Monster Pies" on the IMDb page calls it "A few lovely scenes scattered at random through a very clumsy movie" how wrong the reviewer can be, those of us who love our movies be them short or full, do not always look for the complete perfect end product, sometimes a movie filmed with edge takes you closer.

I can assure you "Monster Pies" does take you close and introduces two fine young actors that I honestly Believe we will hear lots more about in the future. Lucas Linehan is what you look for in an up and coming young actor, and he is the complete package, you feel the emotion from him, I have just seen a new short movie he has appeared in titled "Sheets" which is on the Festival Circuit and again he brings out the best in the part he has a lead actor. Tristan Barr the other lead in "Monster Pies" delivers a superb role and demonstrates he has the same talent to go far.

I have to admit liking Australian drama and "Monster Pies2 delivers, I am sure many young people will identify with the part of William (Lucas) the uncertainty we can have when we are young and Mike (Tristan) who delivers his part so different from the role of William, but shows how people do identify often.

A good storyline and well delivered, don't be put off with one review!

It is very rare that I will give a full ten out of ten for a movie but in "Abel's Field" this is so strongly deserved.

A most excellent strong drama something that many of us will identify with the problems that we meet in life and how we cope with them from the eyes of a young guy to an older guy so different but both facing similar situations and able to give support & strength to.

The Producers have adapted the script to well, used an amazing small town in Texas called Thrall all real sets and they all add to delivering a great movie.

But the two leading actors both deliver first class roles, from the older guy Abel played by Kevin Sorbo who many will recognise from his many party to the young guy Seth, Samuel Davis one of the best upcoming young actors that I predict a great future for. Kevin Sorbo may not have a lot to say but he works so well with Samuel Davis as Seth, Samuel really is spot on with his portrayal of Seth a young guy that many will really identify with and one that you will feel for in his position in life that has come his way.

As I started we all look for a second chance so often in life, for that redemption "Abel's Field" is so strong and delivers from start to finish!

R2 release another Christian movie which is ideal for teen and family viewing, great to see it in widescreen and with some great colour work, but watching on DVD as I have done some small problems with the sound at times.

The storyline of a preacher and his family moving to a new small town and the problems their older teen son has in his last year is great develops well, we see Samuel Davis star as the son and he steals the film with a stunning performance, closely matched by a R2 regular Ben Davies, but there were a few wooden performances.

R2 continue to develop and overall "New Hope" is another step forward though as I state a little disappointing in some aspects. I do feel that this will see the start of a great acting career for Samuel Davis a name to watch out for.

It is good that we are allowed to express personal opinions, never have I seem one so biased against a new movie than the first published here in IMDb.

One Man's Treasure is a real enjoyable movie and the young actors/actresses do a superb job (okay I can fault the false English accent used by one of the cast, but that is a typical American perception and so wrong) I have purchased every one of the Producer JOHN LYDE'S movies, he started with real short movies first and they have all been so well produced and they have introduced many good young actors, most of them not being full time professional.

If you purchase the DVD which I recommend, there is a making of feature and John Lyde is totally honest of how limited the budget is on a production like this, but you would never know unless you are going to be over critical. By the way I am not a member of the LDS Church.

Well done John.

Steven Grayhm name is well known on USA TV - but it was "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" which really brought Steven to the attention of TV Viewers and then the DVD Public once it was released Worldwide.

Here is a short movie that Steven Wrote, Produced and Directed and Starred in, with a performance that is so moving.

Steven perhaps at first hit the right notes as an actor with his good looks, some say he looks like Leonardo DiCaprio and then others like Matt Damon, perhaps even better than both, but his True and Real Talents are what makes Steven Grayhm the serious and talented actor that I can assure You he is.

This short means a lot to Steven personally and it is credit that it has won several International Awards for Steven including Winner 2003 of the New York Independent Film and Video Festival.

Steven Grayhm is a name to note and one that is going to a Big Star of the Future!

So far after week two of "The lone of Beauty" I am a little disappointed.

Some of the acting is good, as long as we except that it is only drama.

I am unsure how people can feel that this FICTIONAL DRAMA is "factual" coverage of the "Thatcher" years - it is okay as drama, but I feel the award winning book is still much better.

I Wonder if the BBC will ever give us the follow up and the next part of the drama and the years that follow with "Things Can Only Get Better" finishing with 2006 and the Fact that we are still waiting! with that promise from a Government that is full of sleaze.
