    Not as Good as others, but still worth it.

    This is a fun, low-budget movie and I'm just curious if anyone else out there has seen it. I'm pretty sure it only made a short tour around a few art houses. It was a typical 90s post-college "finding yourself" story. In my opinion it had a decent script and a decent director, but acting was hit or miss. Some stood out as unique and well-played, others just stood out. Watch it and you'll see. It was shot in Minnesota and it was the director's first movie (I think he was still a grad student at NYU at the time.) I like it because I think it's part of an eternally small genre of movies that come out in the mid-90s like Singles, Reality Bites, Kicking and Screaming, and those other timeless snapshots of twenty-somethinghood post-Cobain and pre-picket fences. It was the first movie I was ever an extra in and I've searched everywhere for a copy - without any luck. If anyone knows where I can buy one, please email me or better yet post a message here. Thanks.

    Fun story with wonderful twists

    The best thing about Full Moon Rising was how full of surprises it was. Most movies are too predictable and formulaic for my tastes. It was cool watching something that actually takes chances, and which caught me off guard. Really funny, as well. I was sorry to see this flick get kind of lost in the indie shuffle (ah, the 90s) because I thought it was far superior to most other stuff in that indie genre of post-college indecision. Less whiny and much funnier than a lot of the other, "I've graduated from college, so now what am I going to do?" movies. Highly recommended.
