TrueJoshNight Truly Dreadful Film
Cleveronix A different way of telling a story
Clarissa Mora The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Marva-nova Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.
jcerise This is the biggest pile of crap I have ever watched. DO NOT RENT! The makers of this movie should be band from ever making another movie. It starts with some what of a plot, then fades fast to nothing. I think I would rather watch paint dry then to as much as looking at the cover. The actors were awful, the plot faded fast, filming left to much work to be done. Not one good thing to say about this crap movie. If you rent this movie you will waste your money. I really enjoy National Lampoon movies, but this was a waste of time. Learn to write, learn to act, learn to produce, and learn to direct. I feel I should sue these a-holes that made this movie for money wasted on rental cost and time lost.
onnrrolstudint Living very close to where most of B.P.T.H. was filmed, I was very excited to be able to see this at a public screening during the Pensacola Bay Film Festival; I was even more fortunate to see most of the cast and a Q&A with Kevin Wheatley. One of the burning questions was "how did you ever come up with the idea for this?" He actually said that his initial intention had been to adapt Shakespeare's Richard III (believe it or not). Viewing the film afterward, I was able to see that he really made a successful Shakespeare adaptation...a funny, violent, post-apocalyptic Shakespeare adaptation.Another thing that really impressed me was the number of (some might say B-list) celebrities who were featured in various roles, mostly as commentators. Having them pop up at the most random moments definitely added more comedic value to this movie.This is an indie movie in the best way--it's irreverent but watchable; it's different and funny; most importantly, it's entertaining. Some of the effects are a little cheesy or overdone, but that doesn't detract from the value of the final product. Highly recommended to anyone with a chance to see it.
butyraceous I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to see this film in Tulsa before it ventured onward to Toronto. I had seen the trailer on MySpace, and thought it would be something akin to "Bad Taste", which is one of my favorite movies. It wasn't. But it WAS one of the funniest films I've seen in a long while. In short: fluid, yet relatively non-linear storyline...clever, hilarious, seamless dialog...engaging despots, lovable bumbling heroes, and a protagonist like no other. This film does not play like low-budget; it moves quickly and never catches on a sloppy shot or a cliché line. The acting is first-rate, and visually the film rises to the challenge of it's post-apocalyptic storyline. If you never see this film, I'm sorry for you; and if you do, you WILL NOT be disappointed!
paintingwithlife Starting with the title, this campy, hilarious, New American film is gushing with the zeal of the youthful, hip, and edgy filmmakers. Charting a primordial course towards a new genre, Writer/Director/Lead Kevin Wheatley and his directing collaborator Johnny Gillette, along with co-conspirator Cameron Pierce, have touched on something quite new and fresh. Hearkening back to the multi-format style of some of their predecessors like Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers and Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill, the filmmakers lucidly blend time-shifting storytelling with "expert" testimony, hand drawn animation and graphics with live action, and clever writing with strong performances.A first attempt at making a feature film is usually marred with over-acting, technical blunders, and misguided "post-fixes". This film, however, is an overachiever for these first time filmmakers. Their strong storytelling skills shine through in their History Channel-on-mescaline style, and the wait for their next foray has already been too long.{ {d(-_-)b} }
