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.

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.

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

Another Day - this movie requires you to watch it another day to understand it. I thoroughly enjoy watching Shannen Doherty and I was quite interesting in seeing how well Julian McMahon and Shannen appeared together following the roles they played in Charmed. I can certainly PRAISE the acting skills throughout the film, even the directing - but the plot...what happened? I am at a loss for words because I am still confused. I have to stay loyal to the actors who really did a good job considering the madness of the plot. I also have to recommend you watch it because despite the plot-madness I would still watch it over and over again.

I thought this movie was superb. Shannen Doherty and Julian McMahon were brilliant together in this.

This movie is a good watch for people who believe in destiny and fate. It shows that no matter what one does to prevent a regrettable incident from occurring, when given the chance, destiny will take over. I watched it not knowing that is was a thriller, but it really did keep you wondering what was going to happen in the end and what actually happened at the beginning. Shannen Doherty's narration at the beginning and the end made it seem more real and the amazing camera shots of the river was truly beautiful.

It had me shouting at the TV telling Kate what to do and the movie affected me so much that I was crying.

If you liked the movie Sliding Doors, then this is the film for you. I really recommend that you give this movie a chance as it has everything a TV movie should have. Love, drama, suspense and above all, Julian McMahon.
