Great movie. Full of intrigue. Great dramatic scenes. Outstanding acting in lead roles by Biff MCGuire and Lara Romanoff. She is new star coming out. Very classy and sexy lady. Smart screenplay. Great sound track. And a beautiful Malibu set. Soundtrack, director, and Lara Romanoff should run off with awards for there contribution to this first class drama. Designed for people who like brain storming movies. I would go out of my way to see this instant classic. Lara as Nina was a great lead actress. The actor who played the ex judge is memorable. Chekov would be proud of this adaption of his works.Best movie this Christmas season.
I took a date to see "Hollywood Seagull" while in Los Angeles last month. She was going for a class assignment on Chekov, who wrote the story to which this movie is taken from. I was expecting a slow drama and instead came across one of the best movies I have seen in years. Maybe its lack of a super lead gave more credibility to this extremely well written film. Written by Michael Guinzburg, who also was making his directorial debut the movie was fascinating and kept me on to the edge of my sit. Lead by a stellar group of actors led by Biff McGuire and a hot Russian actress named Lara Romanoff in the lead as Nina.Other great performances were put in by Oleg Vidov and Barbara Williams and this cast of great actors. It is my understanding that this film will be out in full distribution later this year. It is a must see.
Director and screenwriter Michael Guinzberg did a great job of creating a modern image of a Chekov classic. Led by a stealer cast led by Biff McGuire and a few new face Lara Romanoff as the sexy seductress Nina. Set on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Guinzburg creating an interesting view of a love triangle with an upper class Malibu family. Surprising effective sound track of mainly sleek jazz and interesting piano give a special sound to this film. Oleg who played the grandfather was a familiar face who played an interesting but important role. I went to this movie at the request of my girlfriend only to be surprise by an excellent movie.I recommend this movie to those viewers that love a thought provoking film.

I want to ask the writer and creator why it had to END like that? Trevor loved her . He wa willing to kill himself without her ! She came iut of rehab where Trevor took her with the movie insurance money and she got cured and got a TV job in Vancouver and had to leave Trevor ? Why ? I will give my right arm to find out why so sad ? It seems the narrator had realy lived the story to some degree . She played with it a little to make it more intresting. I do believe this drama is a TRUE story. Wow. Well I am done but yhere is one hundred more words to go? Now 42 ! I hope Lara Romanoff gets this message sometimes and responds accordingly.
A good friend of mine from South Africa told me about this great little flick he hear via the grapevine that I would love. So I went to Independent Theater in Los Angeles on a quiet week night only to be surprised by this mend bending, brilliantly written spin off of the Chekov class "The Seagull." One would think that moving Chekov, a true guru of our time, to Malibu would be a stretch but director and writer Mike Guinzburg was spot on. Even better was the performance of lead actress and Russian sex pot, Lara Romanoff who played Nina, the subject of multiple cast members affections. You would fall in love with her to if you saw how minx like and sexy she played this extremely well written role. Strong acting support by Biff McGuire and a cast of little known but surely to be discovered actors, make this a sleeper for major awards worldwide. An erry and spooky yet hip sound track kept this movie at an exciting yet cool pace. After seeing this movie, I recommended it to everyone I know. It was a limited showing at the time it turns out. So, look for this film in your local theater or on line or on net flix etc. This movie is truly for people who love deep movies. I wish i knew where to she Lara Romanoff on scene again. A star to be.
