Moving

December 11, 2004

Rated: NR Runtime: 100 min Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

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.
