5.0 out of 5 stars Funny, Quirky but your pulled in., August 3, 2003

This review is from: Crazy Moon [VHS] (VHS Tape)

I saw this movie like 1991 or 92 and been enchanted by it ever since. I've never owned a copy till this year. It just stuck in memory. One of those 3 in the afternoon sunday movies. Kiefer Sutherlnd is super, playing a rich but lonely, outcast teen. He is quirky, lke listeing to 30's music in the 80's quirky. He is perscuted by his older brother and, misunderstood by his father and step mom. He meets a girl working in a department store, while his brother steals a jacket. He later finds out she's deaf, but the two fall deep in love. They find comfort in each other and learn to deal with youth.She is not sheltered by her disabilty but, wants to learn to speak better and, travel to europe. He helps her with her speach and she helps him to come of his shell. It stays true to the love story model , but not like those cleshays. The end is great, a twist, that makes you want more. A classic love story that people have missed out on.

This review is from: Crazy Moon [VHS] (VHS Tape)

"Crazy Moon" is one of those obscure low-budget films that gets played at 3 in the morning. For some reason, I have discovered many of my favorite films this way.

Even though it was filmed in the late eighties, the soundtrack features many tunes from the '30s, one which provides the title for the film. The slow, dreamy quality of the music conveys the alienation of Brooks (Kiefer Sutherland), a quirky teenager who shuts himself away from his family and is constantly tormented by his older brother, a walking cliche of everything that was wrong with the 80's.

He comes across Anne (Vanessa Vaughn), who deals with alienation of a different sort. She is a deaf girl who isn't put back by her disability; she tries to live a normal life by working in a department store and dreaming of someday travelling to Europe.

She is an inspiration to Brooks, and the two hit it off. The ending was a nice suprise and well-written because although the film shows love as a way to escape loneliness, it also takes into account the importance of discovering yourself as an individual. Like another reviewer, I also recorded the film on VHS from the television. The problem with this is that there is always so much cut out, for example there is some dialogue near the end of the film during the confrontation between Brooks and his brother that is clearly edited, and it sort of takes you out of the film.

Anyhow, if you are into obscure 3am movies you'll surely like this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars DVD PLEASE, May 22, 2003

This review is from: Crazy Moon [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Caught this on the WGN premiere WAY back when. I managed to record it and I've been watching this movie on a dubbed VHS tape for years. "Charming" is definitely the word for this movie. I watch action and horror movies primarily. This is the only romance film worth seeing in my opinion. I've done some digging and discovered that this film IS available on DVD in Great Britain but it has yet to make the transfer in the states. Basically, no one knows this movie even exists. Even Sutherland fans are clueless.

Somewhere along the experience of melding the 30's and the 80's together, I realized this was a unique film. The characters reveal so many personal aspects of themselves that you soon find yourself drawn in to their lives and you are literally routing for the uncanny possibilities to happen. The viewers are rewarded over and over again. Excellent script. Someone had personal ties to the storyline; it's the only way this could work so well and be so convincing.

Vanessa Vaughan has only done one other film that I can find. She's incredible. Her struggles are placed before the viewer without shame. She is deaf but her new found love expands her world beyond her dreams and when the strange man in her life accepts her for who she is, she is able to make him come out of his own shell. The transformation of Kiefer's character is just plain cool.

Very sweet ending to the film as well.
