Warm Fuzzy.......2006-06-21

I absolutely LOVE this movie!! It is such a great movie to put you in the "Holiday Mood" I also think that Lea Thompson, Tony Danza and Betty White do a great job with this movie. I edited my review because I have watched this movie so many times since my first review. It truly gives you the "Holiday Spirit" if you need it!! I highly recommend this one! If you're not sure, rent it before buying it!! Happy Holidays 365!!

Snow White meets the Godfather.......2006-02-12

Good ideas for movies are so rare that it hurts when filmmakers waste a good one. Elevating "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" to a movie for the whole family was a good idea, but the filmmakers apparently were determined to show that they were not going to be sentimental or soft-hearted about any of this. So, they made the main character a thug. Instead of transforming gradually throughout the film, he remains a thug and then turns a somersault at the end, betraying his partner and saving the town. He falls for Lea Thompson. That's understandable, who wouldn't? What is incredible is that she is portrayed as falling for him! Why? What is the attraction? He's ugly. He acts so obviously like a criminal that it's incredible that everyone isn't suspicious. This particular romance is repulsive. And as if to make sure to kill the movie, the filmmakers choose a repugnant girl to play the daughter.
So, unless you own every other Christmas movie there is, I suggest you buy something else.
I give the movie two stars because of Lea. I'm not a fan, but her brief moments on the screen are of such quality as to make all the other actors look second-rate.

A Great Surprise.......2006-04-27

In a time of sucky films, I give Stealing Time and its filmmakers kudos for keeping me engaged and making me care about these four young characters who, despite their Hollywood good-looks, did a fantastic job on screen with seemingly poinant direction. The photography was that of a big studio movie. And great ending!! Why didn't we hear about this film?!!! Put it in your queue.

"Stealing Time" actually dates back to 2001 when it was mysteriously titled "Rennie's Landing". Which explains how director Marc Fusco was able to afford this cast of now established television/movie actors in what is obviously an extremely low budget production. About ten minutes into the film you understand why this thing never got a theatrical release after it made the film festival rounds several years ago.

Its recent distribution by Franchise Pictures probably reflects a perception that the rising popularity of certain cast members can be milked to recover some of the modest production costs. Although not a great addition to anyone's resume, young actors have done worse things when they were desperately seeking acting work of any kind.

Peter Facinelli, Ethan Embry, Scott Foley and Charlotte Ayanna play college friends who do an early "Big Chill" reunion and compare war stories about the failure of reality to measure up to their dreams.

Unfortunately nothing else happens, absolutely nothing. Yes Alec (Facinelli) dreams about a liquor store holdup and a bank robbery, which are then "cheaply and lamely" staged to completely inappropriate music. It is the least suspenseful bank job since W.C. Fields was the guard in "The Bank Dick".

If anyone can point to any moment in "Stealing Time" where something "actually" happens I would like to know about it, because as far as I can tell, not a thing happens in the whole film. Perhaps Fusco, through incessant visual reflections, is trying to say something profound about taking control of one's life before it is too late. Like "St. Elmo's Fire" the movie is littered with every profound thought ever uttered by a young adult who has left the ivory tower to experience the real world for the first time.

I felt Fusco was going for a kind of Howard Hawks Young Professionals in Action "Only Angels Have Wings" motif. Then again, I'm sure I was reading much too much into the film. After all, things actually happen Howard Hawks films.

Then again, what do I know? I'm only a child.

STEALING TIME AND WE'RE THE VICTIMS.......2005-04-07

Movies that play with your mind and immerse you in a complex plot are fine with me; however, when the movie ends and you wonder what the filmmakers were trying to do, then that's a different story. STEALING TIME features some fine performances from its attractive cast: Peter Facinelli (Who has to be Tom Cruise's secret brother) plays Alec, a rather self-absorbed and cynical producer wannabe who discovers he has an inoperable brain tumor and is going to die; Scott Foley (Scream 3, Felicity) is the all around nice guy Casey, who we discover had a secret life with a young lady (Jennifer Garner in a real quick appearance); Ethan Embry as the wannabe actor Trevor; and Charlotte Ayanna (Training Day) as the wannabe do gooder Sam. The movie starts out slowly and it's hard to stay interested until the interesting premise of robbing a bank enters the picture. Where the movie goes wrong is in its manipulating of time to confuse its audience as to what is and what isn't happening. It's metaphysical resolution is where we are robbed of what could have been a satisfying film experience, but in spite of the performances, the conclusion is so unacceptable, I found it hard to give it the three stars, which are mainly for the cast.

Title refers to what watching it does to you........2005-01-18

Photogenic cast meandering through a time-worn plot. It looks like something thrown together in between auditions for real films. I wish I could be as enthusiastic as the previous reviewer but the best I can say for this is that if you happen to come across it on cable while you're sick in bed, then watch it. However, DO NOT go out of your way for it -- there are thousands of films more worthwhile than this one.
