Blast

I loved the film, the film had good music, good style, the acting was very realistic, the kids were actually like 16 yrs. old kids not some adults playing kids. Good story. I must say that this film was very entertaining the whole way through. I especially like the first song..hmm ..I wonder why

I rented this from my local video store, not expecting much, but I was really surprised. This movie was thoughtful, smart, had great acting and had a genuine emotional depth I hardly ever see in these kinds of films. It also seemed very well directed. Although I'm no expert, I thought it looked a whole lot better than most movies I see in the theaters. It made me think of Stand By Me, as if these were the same characters a little older and in a different time. I liked how the writer tried to make a point about how small miscommunications can grow into disasters. Watching the movie, you can pick out lots of places where a bit of honesty between the characters would have averted the bigger troubles to come. Overall, it seemed pretty ambitious for a independent movie.

Though this picture has not been released yet, I recently saw it in a preview screening. It is truly a blast. Engaging and honest story about Characters I could relate to. These characters are telling it like it is. Liesel Mathews and Blake Heron turn in solid performances and have a great chemistry. The film looks great, big cinemascope look - a nice change from these DV wannabes that seem to be everywhere. Great Music!! Cant wait for the soundtrack. Real Story. Real Characters. Like Blake says in the movie "REALITY".

Well, the star of the movie in my opinion is yes, Blake Heron. I gave this movie a ten because of the performance of Mr.Heron. Now, because of this performance I have seen his other credits and a T.V Series "Rescue 77" caught my eye. In this he played a disturbed teenager. Who goes psycho at school with a rifle. It was a small part yet he made it come to life. He really puts 100% into his characters. My conclusion is that there is something remarkable about this young man.

I also did not work on this movie but unlike the person who left a comment about how the film seemed to purposely have music targeted for a youth audience (duh! It's a youth-oriented film), I thought the film was very professional, ably directed, well-acted and at least tried to tell an intelligent story that appealed to the younger crowd that might be tired of all these moronic sex comedies.
