Cry Wolf- Where have the stars gone :0

August 15th 2006 10:23

Okay I wanna see who is responsible, you've got some splainin to do!!! Anyhoo I don't know if anyone will read this and care at all but I have not been able to write for ages due to my HSC trials being on top of me, howeveran excellent movie caught my eye in the shop recently. The lovechild of an American short film competition to win a grant to make the movie and this fledgeling production company "ROGUE Pictures" Cry_Wolf revolves around a technologically efficient group of students who decide to spice up a game of lying to encompass the hole school, an attempt to make a serial killer up out of thin air to scare everyone silly, the plan seemingly backires when one of their friends goes missing in peculiar circumstances. There appears to be copycat murders taking place. This seems like your generic thriller movie, however it is so much more, the twists and turns are truly surprising, but without giving something away I can't tell you anymore, anyone else who may have seen it I would be very interested in what you have to say. I know th use of technology (instant messaging and crazy cellphones) is a great motif of the film adding to the suspense brought about by the fact that complete anonymity is well within the reach of anyone wishing to use the internet in that way. A boring storyline is in fact really well crafted and the director is masterful in his use of camera techniques, split screen fade-outs and the mixing of text and image to create the look of a book, which is what they are making within the movie, a false murderer.

Some excellent performances, memorably by Bon Jovi, showing that the man truly hastoo much talent and money for any one man ad some newcomers are very good as well, Jared Padalecki actually does okay in the part of the goofball jock whilst the true standout is "Dodger" in the film Lindy Booth, where englishman Julian Morrisalso does extremely well in what I think is his first big role
