Midnight Blue

Absolutely magnificent. Brilliantly written and directed--although most of the actual dialogue was cut out to make it a little less verbose. I guess that could be a good thing. All in all, exceptional. Especially the sex scenes. Totally classic Brode.

"Midnight Blue" is a rare case of a soft core flick that is interesting not only because of the sex scenes, but for the plot.

Here the cinematography, acting, and even clothing looks very early 90's and that could be labeled as a negative point but when the story starts to develop and some of the sex sequences get steamier, you can truly find yourself enjoying it good time.

It had been said that the Director uses some Hitchcock references and it's true but it's hard to use a solid plot on a film like this. Still, the result is more than satisfying.

There are hot women, good sex, and interesting plot. This is a classic by all means.

At first, this movie seemed like your typical Playboy film. Two sex scenes within the first 20 minutes, woo! But then things actually develop into this weird Hitchcock-esque story with multiple twists. All in all, however, the pure brilliance of the writing is ultimately ruined by the poor acting and subpar direction.

Definitive Brode!

I had the pleasure of attending The World Premiere Screening of this film in glamourous Syracuse, NY. It was quite the gala event. The writer was in attendance, and I got to meet him afterwards. He seemed very excited about having his movie produced. After The Premiere I left the classroom, er, I mean, The Landmark Theater, and I discussed the film with several other cineastes who were in attendance. A number of us walked over to the Post-Screening Reception at Sadler Dining Hall, er, I mean Grimadli's Chop House. The studio that produced the film had spared no expense on The Reception. I ate my fill of chicken nuggets, er, I mean, escargot. Later that evening, one of my fellow attendees suggested we head over to a bourgeois afterhours party off of Euclid Avenue. Once there, I had a few too many glasses of Keystone Light, er, I mean, Pinot Noir, at the open bar. Though I woke up in the morning with a bit of a headache from the movie, er, I mean, wine, all in all, it was a most enjoyable evening. Rent this film if you get the chance. You'll love it! :)

It's sad that Brode's agent let this script get sold to Playboy. It really is. This was supposed to be a legit film at one point. On the other hand, nothing is better (for this viewer) than soft-core pornography and bad acting. And, he did get paid for this. All in all, you can't beat adding a piece of smut to your collection that you helped craft.
