King of the Ants (2003)
Wow! Caught this movie on late nite cable and was blown away
I caught this movie one night as I was surfing and stopped just long enough to catch this charismatic star in a really underrated little sleeper. The first half of this movie gave me an uneasy feeling; the same feeling I had when I watched "Last House on the Left" for the first time. Watching the lead character beaten mercilessly with a "driver" in a shed until his face is disfigured, generated an enormous amount of pity. I found myself in the awkward position of caring for a hit man who ends up killing several people.
That speaks volumes for the charisma and artistry of the actor playing Sean. This is definitely a cut above the average late nite fare; the script takes some amateur turns, but the cast keeps it from becoming camp.
Different for Girls (1996)
Crying Game done as a Chick Flick? Oh yeah.....
Sweet, unafraid; understated and not in your face. Why in the Hell do movies about gay guys seem to be so much better than Lesbian Flix? Anybody know? Oh well; nice story, predictable and appealing to those who like "chick flix" and gender benders; in that order. I liked it. Sure, gay guys will love this; Doesn't take chances like Jordan's flick; Something of a "G" rated Crying Game. But, there is a great line "hey 'it' fits" says Prentiss, which really does bump this into "R" rated fare, during a sweet sexual moment between the leads. But, in general, this is a movie about "fitting in". And, as that this movie does convince and probably one of the better "indies" of 97. Enjoy
