Well I saw this at the screening in NYC. It was totally awkward because I felt like I was one of the only people there that didn't work on the film. I've never heard of this festival and I grew up a few minutes away in Manhattan but it seemed pretty lame and back alley. They seem like a bunch of attention seekers living in a biased completely unrealistic fantasy world but whatev.
I was most interested in seeing Zach McGowan, he's kind of a butterface but if you watch Black Sails at all you know his abs are swoonworthy and I don't think I would be looking at his face while I wash my laundry on his 16 pack. I know there's no such thing as a 16 pack but if there was, he'd have it. He wasn't there unfortunately and it's no Shameless or Black Sails. Neither are that great but entertaining at least. He's not the best actor and probably shouldn't star in any film but he wasn't terrible. I just got my bubble burst because it didn't look like he was packing his Black Sails abs under that shirt. I guess it's just for the show. He's a photographer in this and to demonstrate how ridiculous it is the shutter effects are so loud and cartoon like. He gets this up the skirt shot of the first lady - of the United States LOL. He has to either sell it or destroy it because no one has morals according to these people. It's basically a bunch of dumb sub plots he used to be a paparazzi and his life is being threatened and the president wants his wife's photo destroyed and he wants to be re-elected and some weird looking goon is sent to take care of it for him. That would be Martin Kove otherwise known as Kreese. I'm really surprised he has like a million credits on his page. He wasn't very good in this but to be fair the story and what was written for him was horrible. It was obviously not written by a professional writer or even polished off by a pro.
The first lady is Joyce DeWitt. You know come and knock on my door? Her. No, just no. I guess this answers why she hasn't been seen since? Pay attention to the hilarious face she makes when badly pretending to slip and fall and the obvious cut to the stunt double. Funny. Then I had to ask myself what the hell Robert Loggia , the 10 million for my life guy from Scarface was doing there. Not that I recognized him at first. Guess it shows how fickle the movie business is if he is desperate enough to do this stuff. He plays Thomas'/ Zach McGowan's father that is urges him to make the right choice. Thomas is like the black sheep of the family and his brother is David Chokachi from Baywatch. Random? He's the good brother and a fireman and that is how he is seen in his family.
There's these other weird characters at the camera shop and here and there just small little shop of horrors types. Tons of bad acting and stupid, boring writing. I almost forgot there's also Angela Gots she's Thomas' girlfiend. She thinks they should maybe sell this dumb photo. She must be someone's daughter or blackmail wife or whatev. No one would cast someone with absolutely no acting ability and one of the most homely looking women I've ever watched on screen as a lead no less when there's a city full of gorgeous babes and seriously trained thespians. Definitely not believable she's sooooooo bad. She stuck out in a bad way and she has schitzo eyes.
I couldn't wait for it to end and the ending itself well I don't want to ruin the badness for you but I would suggest you run far from this one. It's a waste of time. I've seen better student films. :\
Back to Black Sails for me.
