My dear lord! Can movies possible get any worse than this. I am from Michigan and I can take pride in local folks making good, but I mean how can this be taken with pride? You know what I think? I think that someone here wanted to take a chance to rip-off Sean-Michael's "Friday Night" script. But that's just me. The acting is horrendous. The writing worse. The direction is so bad I wanted to kill myself halfway through it, no scratch that... I wanted to die before the opening scene was even done. My question is this, who would release this thing? Oh yeah, Troma. That makes sense. Well, I hate myself for paying the dollar to rent this. I give it a 1 only because I can't give it a zero.

A Better Place
(1997)
84 Minutes I wish I had back
30 March 1999
I tried very hard to like "A Better Place" but to be totally honest, I wished that I were in a better place, like maybe a minefield. The movie was a sad attempt at trying to be "real" and "hardcore". The acting wasn't horrendous, especially that of Eion Bailey, but it wasn't that fantastic either. The directing on the other hand was downright awful. As was the writing. To me this film came off as a disgruntled attempt to be Kevin Smith (Vincent Perriera's producer on this). The real shocker came after the screening that I attended, when the Director proceeded to point out every fault I had with this movie, and then lay the blame on everyone else (ie. his cinematographer, his actors, his crew in general) and then described shooting as "19 days of pure hell".
