one of my favorites October 9, 2008

I really shouldn't be writing this review in that I am in this movie. I don't promote every project I work on - but this is special and it is out of the mainstream enough that maybe you wouldn't likely see this film without a recommendation. Nothing about this movie is what you would think. It is a wonderful "coming of age" story that has not been told. The script is funny, very moving, and very unexpected. The performances are some of the best you will ever see in an ensemble film. Julie Hagerty gives a remarkable performance as does newcomer Philip Vaden - but everyone is at the top of their game. You will watch this movie many times. A film for grown ups and kids. Not to be missed....

I first heard about this movie a year ago and was so pleased that I could get my hands on it (thanks Amazon)! I enjoyed the movie tremendously, sometimes laughing and crying at the same time. Pope Dreams touched me and I highly recommend it to everyone. It's not a high budget action film, but a film that satisfies the viewer from the beginning, and most importantly, to the end.
Pope Dreams on DVD...It's about freaking time July 1, 2008

I have seen this film twice now. The first time was in Lubbock, Texas at the undergraduate residence of Jake Freakley over a couple cases of beer in 2005 before going to Iraq for the first time. The second was at the Nashville Fylmz Festival in 2007 where it won most inspiring film. This is without a doubt the greatest independent film of all time. Ok sure, you're probably thinking to yourself, "But you just think that because your best friend is the star of the movie." Lol, well, you're absolutely right. And I'm okay with that. And it doesn't make my opinion wrong. Definitely worth checking out. A story of hope, with just a little bit of edge so that you know it's real. What's worth living for if you can't make mistakes, not be perfect, and get hurt a little along the way? Most people can relate to Andy Venable: he's not perfect, and hurts just like you and me, but through a little determination accomplishes something far from perfect and finds something close to love along the way...and there's nothing wrong with that, at least not in my book.
