All That I Need

I saw this movie in Las vegas last night, and Wow!! I became aware of it through this website, and became intrigued a few months back. I am interested to see how it all turns out, will the "bad" boys get captured? Will people get repaid??...........This is a 2 thumbs up movie by far!! I hope the release date goes way beyond its initial run. I know a lot of people who have just recently, in the last few days started hearing about this movie, and if it runs for longer, the audiences will pick up soon, presumably like Blair Witch did. I suggest anyone out there who is thinking of starting a pyramid, check this documentary out first, because, personally, I was in one, and got scammed, if I would of seen this first,, I wouldve thought twice!!

All That I Need, landed in theaters across the US last night!! Was a great turn out, intrigued audience members sat and concentrated on all the scheming going on throughout the movie. With myself and the women from Newport beach, CA , being the original Muffin Club Members. Friends and Family sat all around me at the Regal Colonnade Theater here in Las Vegas, Nevada, and believe me, my friends that I have just made out here in the last few months, and know only bits and pieces of what I was really involved with in this pyramid, they had tons of questions for me after the movie. For Example: "So how many times did you actually roll??". "How much did you make in this pyramid?", and I even got a "Mia, I'm scared of you now, your that good at scamming people?, followed by a cynical laugh or two.

So, from my perspective, its kind of an ambivalent feeling. Of course I want us all to profit from box office sales, then again, I don't want it to gain so much popularity that the FBI retraces our steps and starts following my tail again..........

Only time will tell, but as for Las Vegas, NV, better known as Sin City, this is one sin made public that will either make or break me and the rest of us involved in that pyramid. ...............MIA

Let me start out by saying that I did a little post-movie interweb research on "All That I Need" and found several different numbers for the films budget, but found one page that the filmmaker himself said $40k. This statistic alone, and the fact that it was picked up by major theaters, should be enough to indicate its quality.

Don't go into viewing "All That I Need" expecting Brad Pitt and Charlize Theron with Ang Lee action, that isn't what it's all about. It's about capturing the raw emotions of individual people as they see the worst come out in their fellow man and their dreams collapse in front of them. I'm not going to ruin it, but it's shot in a documentary style of which the name escapes me at the moment. The subjects of the film are caught off-guard often and sometimes almost seem to be holding back in front of the camera. This is a good thing, as the pure feel of the situation is captured and the authenticity of emotion is conveyed with ease.

I saw it several weeks ago in L.A. I don't know if it's still in theaters, but I'm sure it will be coming out on DVD in a couple of months. "All That I Need" is a fun flick and one that you should check out.

There's something pretty fun about watching a bunch of people get together and do a bunch of stupid things, then yell at each other, blaming each other for whatever trouble they find themselves in. Watching All That I Need was pretty much like that. I just kept laughing because I noticed that most of the people in the movie had no idea how stupid they actually looked. They just kept saying and doing stupid things, over and over and over. On top of this, all the greed and money just adds to the rancor in the film. (My English teacher would be proud that I used the word rancor!)

I definitely recommend this movie. If nothing else, you get to see how money, sex, greed and gossip causes people to act crazy. Kinda like real life, only better.

As one of 60 million people worldwide who had done pyramid schemes, this movie really hit's home. It keeps you on the "edge" of your seat and is worth the price of admission. This is a "must see" movie. It has all the elements that drive people, greed, lust, jealousy, etc. Friendships are tested and real life drama unfolds in front of your eyes. I am sure just about everybody can relate to this movie and for an "Indie" film to be picked up for distribution at the theaters is saying really how good this movie is. I rarely see movies more than once but tonight I am going again with a group of friends again. This movie really teaches you a valuable lesson about life.
