Inverno Profundo

OK, this movie is not bad.

There is nothing wrong with it.

Yes the back story about the sister is exaggerated.

Yes the acting is a bit pushed at times.

However, the cinematography is awesome, the story is good but not great and the setting interesting about a mountain that cannot be tamed.

I found it interesting, with an excellent soundtrack.

It is a ski lover's popcorn flick and I do not think it pretends to be anything else.

Snoboarder's too with get their share! MG

This movie is AWESOME!! I didn't expect it to have have a good plot, but it did! The skiing was mind blowing. I have no idea how they got some of these shots, it's incredible. The hot guy Emmett from "Twilight" is even in it! Michael Madsen is a total classic. He adds a lot of depth to the movie. The soundtrack is great too! The Citizen Cope song was made for "Deep Winter". I can't imagine anyone NOT being totally blown away by this movie. I show my friends and they can't believe what they are seeing. They show all of their friends and so on and so on. But EVERYONE says how amazing it is. I'm totally psyched to see the whole movie. When can I get my hands on it? I want it and I want it NOW!!!!!

For those of you who thought the music was outstanding as I did, here's the website with the list of songs.

By the way, I'm really disappointed in IMDb for not adding this information to their database.

The movie was just okay, but the music was really terrific.

Also, the music supervisors should have cited the artist.

I especially like the song: "Home" Performed by Marc Broussard Courtesy of Universal Music Enterprises

You can view his video on youtube; he's an Amazing Artist!

Soundtrack For 'Deep Winter' Movie

I totally dug this movie! It has great action and cool actors, the skiing is off the hizzle and the picture looks incredible. It is about time somebody made a decent story on the slopes without selling out to some typical Hollywood story. I felt like the pages of Powder Magazine came to life, literally. Hey it ain't Shakespeare, but there is a compelling buddy picture story, sort of man against nature vibe that takes you into the world of expert skiing and the majesty of the Alaskan Rockies. Emerging star Kellan Lutz commands as the snowboarder and Madsen rules as a grizzled pilot. I loved the soundtrack, too! This is the kind of movie that I can watch over and over on cable whenever it is on. Impressive effort, technically sound.

I read this review on DVD Verdict then rented the movie and loved it.

You know, I wasn't expecting anything more than a cookie-cutter snowboard jock-movie starring annoying characters, but Deep Winter surprised me. It's an entertaining spectacle, sporting some jaw-dropping downhill footage, a serviceable human drama, and likable players to tie it all together.

Deep Winter is sort of a meta-snowboard movie, quite possible the first of a genre. The story is about these guys making a ski and snowboard movie, but it's obvious from the crazy downhill shenanigans that human beings are actually strapping themselves to thin pieces of sculpted plastic and voluntarily sliding down a big-ass mountain. Really, I can't say enough about how awesome the skiing and snowboarding is in this movie. If I had to guess, the angles are sheer 90 degree drops of doom and somehow the nutjobs the filmmakers suckered into rocketing down the slopes negotiate this wintry peril with ease. Just fantastic.

Buttressing all of this is the movie itself and it's decent. You'll be able to chart out the trajectory of the plot no problem: the twists, the relationships, the looming fatalities, the Final Momentous Choice our hero makes, all of it. You've seen this melodrama in countless other works. The clichés are tempered with some solid acting and a likable Alpha Male awesome skier guy who bangs his best friend's sister, sure, but that's a necessity in movies like this, so you can't fault him for that. Even Michael Madsen brings his game, likely relieved he's not hoisting around a fake sword and incomprehensible accent from a Uwe Boll movie or playing a gangster for the billionth time.

Again, the centerpiece of Deep Winter is the ski action footage, so I wouldn't hold it against you if you skipped through some of the extended sentimentality to get to the good stuff.

The film looks good in its 1.85:1 anamorphic widescreen treatment, though the picture quality isn't as vibrant as it could be. In fact, Deep Winter is best-suited for a high-definition treatment. Audio is pushed by a 5.1 track, and it's rich, pounding bass and blasting out the nifty soundtrack. The total lack of extras is a major missed opportunity.
