Kiss Me Again

This film is about a college professor married to a beautiful and loving wife who decided that he wants to try a threesome by inviting one of his students into bed. This film is very painful to watch. What could have been a funny comedy, the film decomposes into a sappy melodrama where the actors spend most of their screen time staring out the window and blubbering as tears roll down their cheeks. The director can not get the actors to convey the inner emotional struggle they are going through. With four writers and two script consultants on the payroll you would think that the script would be the best thing about the film but in fact it is the worst. The lame directing and awkward staging aren't any better. There are a lot of sex scenes in this film but the actors keep their underwear on like they were trying for a PG rating! I've seen hotter sex scenes on network TV.

The actors do their best with the situation but the casting is all wrong especially Jeremy London who totally misses the mark. The photography is good but the lighting is flat which makes the actors appear two dimensional.

All calendars in the film show 2004 and there are plenty of presidential election notices that make up the set dressing (all anti Bush of course). Seeing how this film took three years to get a DVD release is not surprising.

Oh, what tangled webs we weave...Instead of just being about sex, this film is an extremely complex and insightful look at relationships and human interactions. The emotions are intensely subjective and raw, making it uncomfortable to watch occasionally. The vulnerability punctures through the screen due to a stellar performance by the entire cast. If you're looking for the average Saturday night sex comedy, than you might want to pass on this one. However, if you're looking for a 103 minute emotional roller-coaster of passion and perplexity, then definitely check this film out. I'm excited to see what William Tyler Smith has in store for us next.

This is the poor man's Vicky, Christina Barcelona. Every part of this movie works against it. The acting is just terrible. It's like they were rehearsing the scenes for the 1st time ever and a guy holding a camera for the 1st time decided to shoot it. The editing is just painful to watch with no flow or links from one scene to another. Spare yourself the torture and don't waste your time.

For first time feature of William Tyler Smith, this movie holds what Smith is best at: the complex analysis of complex relationships with nuances of character that we may see in ourselves. Knowing Smiths work in his short films, it is clear that he has extended his sensibilities (and his love for the female persona and the complexities of women in general) with this movie. As an independent film it shows great promise and a new voice in cinema. The performances (and especially one in particular) are generally excellent and of course Smith's sense of visuals are throughout the movie. Talent starts out raw, and over time matures and develops a polish that takes a director from the ranks of director to the ranks of filmmaker. William Tyler Smith with this film is on his way!

Not the best movie ever made, but it was pretty good. The casting was interesting, but somehow it all came together and worked well. Katheryn Winnick's performance is phenomenal... (seeing this film has made me a huge fan of hers) This was a different kind of role for Elisa Donovan and she was excellent, I actually gained respect for her as an actress as a result of seeing this film. Mirelly Taylor has an incredibly interesting part and she plays it well. Jeremy London spends most of the movie reacting to the women around him, and he does it very naturally. Overall the acting is great.

This film could easily have been mostly about the sex scenes in it, but it's not. It's about the relationships and emotional connections between the characters, who are all incredibly complex. The emotions are raw at times, in "Kiss Me Again" but it's such an interesting film, I imagine even those that aren't completely enamored with it will still be glad they saw it. Anyone watching this movie with an open mind will find something to love about it.
