5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Movie, October 7, 2009

This is a very sweet, touching movie. As usual, Ron Perlman shines in everything he does. He has more talent than a lot of the so called "A list actors". He should get more roles like this one. All of the characters were very real and believeable. Barbara Hershey is still excellent and beautiful. I felt like I knew every one of those senior ladies. How refreshing to see them given a chance to strut their stuff. A must see for anyone who loves good movies.

5.0 out of 5 stars Five Stars For "Uncross", December 4, 2009

By

This review is from: Uncross the Stars (DVD)

This a terrific little film. In a way, it's an homage to the way movies used to be done in Hollywood prior to the phenomenon of the "big budget" indulgence.

First, put together a tight, believable script about the remarkable lives of "average" people. Make relationships the centerpiece, rather than holding a plot together with special effects, exotic locations, or trendy names. Cast the project well with journeymen (and journeywoman!) performers who are dedicated to serving the script; rather than it being a backdrop for their persona. And, lastly, direct it with love, care, and respect.

"Uncross The Stars" succeeds beautifully on all the aforementioned levels. It's both touching and funny by turns; but never in a way that feels contrived or cloying. Remember what it feels like to watch a movie that makes you feel a little better about life long after the last frame? "Stars" will take you there.

Enjoy!

We recently premiered Uncross the Stars in Houston and everyone in attendance loved the film. It was great to hear people laugh out loud throughout the movie, and also watch them cry during the showing. One of the funniest parts of the film for me is the beginning funeral scene. It is one of the rare times in life when its OK to laugh at a funeral. We received glowing reviews of the entire cast, including the ladies in the support roles. Barbara Hershey is at her best, and many couldn't believe how talented Ron Perlman is as a complete actor. Ron comfortably handles a role that most people can't fathom, due to his other motion picture and TV successes. Kudos to Kenny Golde for creating a truly enjoyable film for all ages!
