Another Day

A comment i keep seeing about this movie is that the plot at times does not make sense. I have the answer as to why.

The movie was written by my aunt and uncle, Don MacLeod and Helen Frost. When my aunt and uncle write, they write their movies in a format appropriate for release on the big screen. TV movies require huge amounts of plot to be cut out for the allotted time period. As such, important details were cut out of the movie itself which sometimes made the plot a little hard to follow. If you read the original script written by them, the plot makes complete sense, but for the sake of time compression, key events and plot happenings had to be taken out.

I have just watched Another day and thought it was great i thought Shannen Doherty and Julian McMahon were both incredible. Shannen is one of the most talented actresses i've seen in a long while, she made this film what it is. Altough it was hard to understand i understood what was going on nearer to the end, also Shannen is great at what she does and i don't understand why she hasn't hit our cinema screens with a great movie altough i can say with all my heart Charmed hasn't been the same since she departed. We miss you Shannen, best of luck. Steve

This is quite unlike any TV movie I have seen in a long time. From the outset, the sense of impending doom is omnipresebt, signified by the lead character's retrospective, all-knowing narration which sets the story up for the viewer as a tale of two parts and two people, united by a common theme - love. Shannen Doherty gives a powerful performance, as well as her co-stars. The problem I had with this movie was the fact it felt restricted by its TV movie conventions, even though it tried in vain to emulate a Sundance-style independent drama. I was impressed by its intentions but less so by the intrusive music which often spoiled the sense of eerie mysticism that was conveyed so well through the fluid cinematography.

It was a lovely story, I think, but I was confused a good bit of the time. I wondered if the movie started before I started watching but was nearly sure it didn't. The actors and Shannon were talented in this role. She is beautiful. I pretty much caught on to the story before the end but was busy trying to figure it out the whole time. I did search it out on-line and found the IMDb website which I found very helpful in clarifying my confusion when I was able to read comments from others and find that others were also in varying degrees of confusion. I didn't choose the movie but when I overstayed the previous one on Lifetime I could not go on about my planned activity for the afternoon because I was "hooked" into it very quickly. It was a good exercise for my sometimes lazy brain.

OK people- i admit the film did drag on a bit in certain parts , BUT it was a good story and was done really well- the acting's pretty good too! i do recommend people to watch it only if they have a good amount of PATIENCE! And if you're a fan of 'Charmed' both Julian Mcmahon and Shannon Doherty are in the film!!! Oh and the story is quite confusing because it keeps switching back and forth between the times and some of the time i didn't know what the hell was going on but still its worth watching.

i gave it a massive 8 out of 10 so it cant be as bad as the other reviewer said!!
