This review is from: The Independents 4 Movie Pack (DVD)
When BCI's THE INDEPENDENTS 4 Movie Pack was released in 2004, it was touted as a celebration of the independent film maker. Being a "maverick" brings with it the freedom to create, unhampered by interference from above. [...]
CONTENTS: THE BOOK THAT WROTE ITSELF-- To prove his latest writing is credible, an author acts his book out and simultaneously makes it into a movie. Later at the Venice Film Festival, he queries several prominent actors during a Q&A, again with his camera rolling. Stars the screenwriter/director. CANNES MAN-- An astounding roster of actors. directors and producers appear briefly in this movie-biz spoof. At the Cannes Film Festival, a producer hypes a fictional "greatest writer since Hemingway" and the supposed author's latest work, "Cannes Man" (pronounced "con"). INTERRUPTIONS-- A single summer day in the life of an on-vacation New York college student who's returned to her dysfunctional family in L.A. RAW FISH-- Sophomoric and unsavory "guy" flick about three frat buddies who enter a contest to see who can "shoot the farthest," the winner receiving a cameo appearance with a famous adult movie starlet. Includes characters identified as: Crotchman, Tampon Girl, Gay Guy, Lisa Swells, etc. CULT FICTION 4 Movie Pack (also from BCI / Eclipse) offers another unusual sampling of little-seen indie cinema. BRENTWOOD's 4-fers are nicely priced movie bundles. Video and sound quality of these digitally unrestored public domain films is generally fine. Discs are dual-side recorded. . Parenthetical numbers preceding titles are 1 to 10 viewer poll ratings found at a film resource website. (5.2) The Book That Wrote Itself (Ireland-1999) - Liam O Mochain/Antoinette Guiney/Orlaith Rafter (unwitting cameos: George Clooney/Kenneth Branagh/Melanie Griffith/Chazz Palminteri/Warren Beatty/Catherine Deneuve/Annette Benning) (5.4) Cannes Man (1996) - Seymour Cassel/Francesco Quinn/Rebecca Broussard (cameos: Johnny Depp/Treat Williams/Jim Jarmusch/Lara Flynn Boyle/James Brolin/Jon Cryer/Ann Cusack/Benecio Del Toro/Robert Evans/Dennis Hopper/Julian Lennon/John Malkovich/Chris Penn/Kevin Pollak/Luana Anders/Peter Gallagher/Harvey Weinstein/Menahem Golan (???) Interruptions (1997) - Kelly Maguire/Harry Cohn/Grace McClure/Jessica Renae Miller (1.6) Raw Fish (2001) - David Price/Russel Rashed/Ben Haas |
