Via Satellite (1998)
Stylish? I think not. A formulated kitchen sink drama that should serve well for daytime TV programming.
A disappointing film.
The story established our protagonist as Chrissy, a 'young', rather sullen individual drifting, not doing much. Actually she does very little to move the narrative along so it didn't surprise me to see the focus shifting on her relatives. It's a pity though, Chrissy seem like interesting character.
Story was predictable and at times felt quite formulated. So the question now is, when are we going to see the Campions, Jacksons, and the Tamahori's breaking ground with compelling, cinematically-told stories that will inspire, rather than entertain for the toll of two hours?
Technically, a disgusting shot film.
Broken English (1996)
Disappointing.
A disappointing film to say the least. Characters were stereotypically portrayed. Doesn't surprise me if this was directed by a Englishman who wanted to update Griffith's Broken Blossom. Avoid.
