"GREAT INDIE FILMS"      "GREAT INDIE FILMS"      Lost in Translation Scarlett Johansson, Bill Murray Universal Studios, 2004 One of My Favorite Movies of All Time! + 4 1/2! Great movie but not for everyone + Lost in Translation I guess this is one of those "love it or hate it" movies, so all I can do is tell you why I love it so much. First, filming the movie in Japan was not only a way to capture the two main characters out of their element (which was the brilliant, central point of the film), but it took ME out of ...             Lone Star Stephen J. Lang, Chris Cooper Turner Home Ent, 1999 American Masterpiece + A lot of power + Lone Star + You are your family, like it or not + A Murder in a Small Town             The Station Agent Peter Dinklage, Paul Benjamin Miramax, 2004 You know who you are... + "The Station Agent" movie review by Michael Elliano + Slow Moving Sleeper + A true gem             Matewan Jace Alexander, Tom Carlin Lions Gate, 2001 INDY GENIUS + The Matewan Massacre is in here somewhere . . . + Incredible movie. + West Virginia's Roots In All Its Glory + Matewan             Abigail's Party Alison Steadman, Tim Stern Water Bearer Films, Inc, 2004 A Scorcher + Abigail's Party + Abigal's Party I absolutely love this movie/play. I once saw a very good stage production in New York, but nothing beats seeing Alison Steadman playing the monstrous Beverly ruling her roost.

Independent film, that is. It is not an independent film the way you'd consider indie films of today. VERY low budget - and it shows, though that's not a bad thing. Overall, this film has held up well - which is pretty good 23 yrs later!
