Requiem For a Dream Making Of: There truly is nothing special about the making of portion of the DVD except how they did some of the amazing camera work for the movie. What made the movie was the genius of the director and the performance of the cast. I especially like when they showed the camera they used for the filming of Ellen Burstyn during the apartment cleaning scene. There where also a couple of neat facts to pick up along the way as well but truly nothing special. The reason I think it is nothing special is because there was not much to explain about the making of the movie other than just showing the different equipment used to do the filming.

Phone Booth
(2002)
A movie that proves that a good story makes a movie not the locations
30 May 2005
Warning: Spoilers
Phone Booth: This is one of those rare movies that proves you don't need a ton of locations to make a good movie. This movie has one main location which sounds like it would be boring except the exceptional camera and acting keep from this. Stuart Shepard play by Colin Farrell is the guy pinned down in the phone booth by a sniper play by Kiefer Sutherland. Without giving anything away to those who have not seen it is gets more intense from there. I think the fact that this movie only had one main location added to the intensity of the movie which moved along quite nicely. Some have told me they thought it was slow in pace but I thought it move along quite well. Now it is not one of my top movies,but it is one that I would watch again after it had been awhile. I think the movie is one that shows you don't need anything more than good acting and decent story to make a good movie.Which is why I liked it. I would highly recommend this movie to anyone looking for something different than your normal thriller. The reason I gave it an eight is that it does not have rewacth ability which is typical of these kind of movies. The suspense factor is in the not knowing what is going to happen next which fades when seen a ton of times. These are not the kind of movies I would buy unless it was something above and beyond or super cheap like on VHS.
