Last Hours in Suburbia

I thought this film was fantastic. The story line was very interesting and the ending was great. I have watched this film twice in the last 2 days and will probably watch it again. Although I would have made a few minor changes as a director like maybe not being able to see Jennifer's shadow. There was also a part where the actress was still in the background waiting for her cue but she was in full vision, these are just minor errors that could have been fixed by the editor but oh well it's done now and the acting was still strong and the characters were portrayed well. Apart from the errors it is definitely a film worth watching. Most people won't pick up on them anyway.

The powerful message in "Last Hours in Suburbia" is most compelling. This movie is a must-see for adolescents. Maiara was superb, and the handsome young actor, Steven Miller, was a refreshing new face who was most convincing in his role.

The idea behind "Suburbia" is catching on and most relevant--I am thinking (as are my friends) that this could spin off into a mini-series of sorts, perhaps similar to "Revenge' or 'Desperate Housewives" with twenty-somethings in the lead roles. There is so much material in our suburbs---stories abound--based in truth. Maiara Walsh and Steven Miller could make a series like leap to life---I think it would sell.

5/10.

The film has a lot of good comments and I'm honestly surprised by that. The movie isn't bad, it's not boring but it's nothing wow. It's only good for killing time. The only thing that is really good in the film is this beautiful and charismatic brunette, who plays a dead friend.

This movie kept me hanging, there were great foreshadowing techniques. The actor who played Pete, Stephen Miller played a great role in the movie, I would like to see him in more movies. Like action thrillers, Love movies, something that shows off his talents. He played a character who was full of emotion, from elation to deep sorrow. What a wonderful role. I think Stephen Miller did an excellent job persuading the audience to believe his sorrow after the tragedy, as well as showing his positive emotions during the flashback scenes. Please let me see more of this talented actor... He is a star waiting to shine and show his talent to the Hollywood producers.

I was initially intrigued by Last Hours in Suburbia because of the assumption that the audience would accept Malara Walsh as a spirit, when she appeared to be human in all ways. And the concept worked! Although we couldn't see through her, we somehow knew that she had passed from our world into another. The inclusion of the two male leads provided an excellent contrast between the dramatic struggles of the girls, to the more low-key responses of the boys. I was mesmerized by Steve Miller's ability to keep from over-acting. He reminded me of so many of the males in my life, who try to deal with stress by keeping emotions withheld, dealing without drama, "like a man". Miller was able to convey his confusion and his fear through his eyes, which I see as a sign of a true actor. Well done!
