"Of course we all know Peter Jackson from the lavish Lord of the Rings films and I have to say now that I have looked at some of his other work I am glad that he has been able to branch out. Heavenly Creatures is beautifully shot, acted to perfection and enthralling from frame one. I was able to spot some of the trademark Jackson shots and the always present Jackson cameo and I loved it. Kate Winslet is one of my favorite actresses and she truly steals the show here. Overall this is a perfect film with a little mix of everything romance, comedy, intense family drama, action/suspense and even some disturbing horror elements. So if you can handle the drastic elements of the story definiltey give this film a watch and see New Zealand's finest at work. The DVD has no special features aside from a trailer for this movie and some sneak peaks so I would say it's only worth a rent. "

"On Saturday, Brooklyn, NY-based filmmaker Leah Meyerhoff will be heading to Beantown to present a retrospective of her short films at the Brattle Theatre during the Boston Underground Film Festival. I had the great pleasure to hang out with Leah recently during the South by Southwest (SXSW) Film Festival in Austin, Texas. I first became familiar with Leah’s work at a screening of short films at the Brooklyn Independent Cinema Series last year where I saw the music video she directed, Team Queen. Soon after, I watched her Student Academy-Award nominated short Twitch, which has played in over 200 film festivals around the world and won numerous awards. Last night, I spoke with Leah about her upcoming trip to Boston and what people can expect there, as well as what’s going on with her feature film in development, Unicorns, and other defining moments in her young career.

"Hitchcock's effects were state of the art at the time. Now the datedness of the effects always pull me out of an otherwise state of suspended disbelief. Bummer. I honestly think scenes like the nightmare sequence in Vertigo should be memorialized as a reminder to avoid special effects at all costs. Inevitably they won't hold up.However, an excellent use of CGI were the establishing shots in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Subtle, deliberate, and didn't try to play within the story so much as just give a sense of place.I think so many brilliant directors have been seduced by the harlot of special effects wizardry, which just defies reason for me. Think of any great director (besides George Lucas, who's really a glorified FX technician) and their best work is virtually empty of special effects, in my opinionEven Peter Jackson. Ever seen Heavenly Creatures? I love the LOTR trilogy for its mythic scope and sheer spectacle, but the dramatic aspect is ham-fisted compared to that previou ... "
