Kiss Me Again (2006)

This movie was dreadful. It only gets one star simply because I cannot give it any lower.There was absolutely no redeeming features about this movie. It looked cheap and nasty. Acting was woeful. The dialog was the sort of thing I would expect from something like Party of Five or one of those lame TV series.Jeremy London looked WAY to young to be a professor, (of what I am not sure because I fast forwarded a lot of it). Completely miscast, not sure that he would be right in anything. This was 45 minutes of my life wasted. I said I forwarded through a lot of this.

For first time feature of William Tyler Smith, this movie holds what Smith is best at: the complex analysis of complex relationships with nuances of character that we may see in ourselves. Knowing Smiths work in his short films, it is clear that he has extended his sensibilities (and his love for the female persona and the complexities of women in general) with this movie. As an independent film it shows great promise and a new voice in cinema. The performances (and especially one in particular) are generally excellent and of course Smith's sense of visuals are throughout the movie. Talent starts out raw, and over time matures and develops a polish that takes a director from the ranks of director to the ranks of filmmaker. William Tyler Smith with this film is on his way!

Oh, what tangled webs we weave...Instead of just being about sex, this film is an extremely complex and insightful look at relationships and human interactions. The emotions are intensely subjective and raw, making it uncomfortable to watch occasionally. The vulnerability punctures through the screen due to a stellar performance by the entire cast. If you're looking for the average Saturday night sex comedy, than you might want to pass on this one. However, if you're looking for a 103 minute emotional roller-coaster of passion and perplexity, then definitely check this film out. I'm excited to see what William Tyler Smith has in store for us next.

This film is about a college professor married to a beautiful and loving wife who decided that he wants to try a threesome by inviting one of his students into bed. This film is very painful to watch. What could have been a funny comedy, the film decomposes into a sappy melodrama where the actors spend most of their screen time staring out the window and blubbering as tears roll down their cheeks. The director can not get the actors to convey the inner emotional struggle they are going through. With four writers and two script consultants on the payroll you would think that the script would be the best thing about the film but in fact it is the worst. The lame directing and awkward staging aren't any better. There are a lot of sex scenes in this film but the actors keep their underwear on like they were trying for a PG rating! I've seen hotter sex scenes on network TV.The actors do their best with the situation but the casting is all wrong especially Jeremy London who totally misses the mark. The photography is good but the lighting is flat which makes the actors appear two dimensional.All calendars in the film show 2004 and there are plenty of presidential election notices that make up the set dressing (all anti Bush of course). Seeing how this film took three years to get a DVD release is not surprising.
