Speed of Light (2007)
Stuart Mansell is one the finest actors of his generation
Rarely have I seen such a gifted actor.
Stuart Mansell is so deeply absorbed into his character that we might believe that he is like that in real life.
When he played a TV game show host in "The Complete Map of the Universe" and the TV show "EST" we can see that he is a completely different person.
Different voice, accent, look.
Everything is different.
Most actors are just playing "themselves", Stuart Mansell is not.
He is also extremely sexy and that helps.
I have never seen someone who can play such a drug crazy character the way he does.
From completely demented to desperate.
Stuart Mansell is one of the finest actors of his generation.
Burning from the Inside (2007)
More suited to people into Rock music
As in most of Nick Peterson/Virtual Alien films so far, the presentation is different, especially for a documentary.
Firstly it is in black and white and I have read a few bad reviews as a result. This is crazy. Whenever someone is trying something different he is knocked down.
This is the same concept as the director's music albums (when he used to compose). He produces a new concept every time. Exactly like David Bowie did with music. It may take a while for most people to wake up to his films.
This documentary may suit more people into Rock music, than the standard public into African Affairs and politic.
In terms of content it is perhaps the only documentary that has managed to interview all the major players and terrorists of the oil region of Nigeria. No one has ever managed that.
Essential.
