Features
Video:
It's not a DVD. It's a VHS tape. If there were a DVD I'd buy
it too.
Audio:
Yes, It had audio. It's actually got a pretty decent soundtrack
that's chock full of unknown artists but it fits the movie
perfectly. If you heard groups you'd recognize it just wouldn't
be "right".
Extras:
Bloopers at the end of the tape.

Usually
when you come across an "indie flick" you know it's going to be
really dull and boring or just totally off the wall. Moving is definitely
the latter. The Friedman Brothers have definitely created an hour
and forty minutes of pure entertainment here.
L.
Derek Leonidoff is a convincing main character (Ron) and really
does make you understand exactly what it feels like to be "doomed".
Terry Jernigan plays a very convincing nut (John) who reminds me
of David Hasslehoff except that he's exactly the way you wish David
Hasslehoff was instead of the way he really is.
Anyway...
Ron's house gets stolen and Ron sets off with him to help him find
it. Together, helped (or hindered?) by a ZZ Top look-a-like and
an ex-commando named Jaques, Ron and John follow a long and winding
road through a trail of flea-markets that leads them to a spaghetti-like
bowl of Mafia ties. Leonardo DiCaprio never looked so good.
It's
simply amazing that something like this could be put together for
$8200. You couldn't buy the doughnuts used on the last filming of
Star Wars Episode II for that. God bless digital video. Fun fun
fun.
Do
they ever find home? What are the Hare Krishna's all about? What
is Moving? Sorry... you're just gonna have to track this one down
and check it out.

Gun Play
Yes!
Guns & Grenades. (not a lot of explosions though)
Blood & Gore
This
is mostly due to one really good fight scene. Also, even though
we don't see the blood, repeatedly kicking someone in the nuts
has got to count for something.
Car Chases
Well...
ok... one getaway and some good car scenes.
T&A
Two
hot chicks in a convertible.
Chuckles
Laughed
almost the whole way through. |
