Wake (2003)
Wake will keep you awake - amazingly complex, intriguing, must-see movie
Wake is a must-see movie for anyone who loves a good character driven movie, with a twisted ending, and of course, any Gale Harold fan ---- but there's many more fine performances here too! The movie is beautifully shot, with a dark, foreboding atmosphere and the all the actors are amazing in their roles. It reminded me of Mystic River or Fight Club in it's tone, and the troubled story. It's about four brothers who have reunited for a night at their family home - it's obvious they have experience trauma in their early lives and they eventually end up drinking and fighting while we are given clues to what is really going on and their dark history together as a family--- don't want to give too much else away. Blake Gibbons gives a commanding performance, and Gale Harold truly shines --- everything is so real, you really feel the troubled nature of these brothers. With great sound and background, as well as a story that will keep your mind interested, you will definitely love this movie. A great alternative to the mindless schtick of big-budget special effects movie - this one has realism, intrigue, and great acting, especially by Gale.
Ham & Cheese (2004)
Funniest movie I've seen in years - hilarious!
You must see this movie - I loved it! The characters are so funny, and I laughed out loud numerous times, tears were streaming down my face at some points! Dave Foley and Scott Thompson are terrific in their roles, and Jason Jones is to die for as an actor whose confidence outlies his abilities. He is so embarrassingly funny! A great mockumentary about the tough actor life --- and great to see the setting in the Toronto area. I loved the glamour shots, the Aussie accent skit, Richard tap dancing for his mom's local community theatre production and still not getting it --- seriously funny scenes in this little Canadian flick. I loved it - highly recommended, especially if you like satirical things like The Office.
