Review of Missy

Well, it's been slow in the news for much of anything beyond the horrible tragedy that is unfolding still in our Gulf states. I don't feel like I have anything to say that hasn't been said already, but suffice to say both the situation and the federal response to it sadden me.

So. I thought I'd post something a bit light hearted. This is a review of a movie that Elias and I made right out of High School.

It's probably not that good. The movie, I mean. The review is good. The reviewer seemed to like it quite a bit.

So, for those of you who don't know: Elias and I decided not to go to film school. We decided to make a movie instead. So we came up with a bad script (don't all first movies start with that?) and built a two-room, two-hallway spaceship interior in my mother's backyard to shoot it in. It sort of worked. Parts of the movie make me throw up in my mouth a little when I see them, but it has a redeeming quality or two. It didn't need to be a good movie. It just needed to be film school for us. And it was, for better or for worse.
