For Sale By Owner (2009)

To be honest, this was a weird movie. It didn't have all the "hollywood" added to it. I was very interested within the first 15 minutes which is highly unusual for me. It tells the story of a man that restores homes from Virginia. At the start you will think his is having a panic attack but you will see that he suffers from skitzophrenia. The movie plays into the role perfect & if you have ever met someone like that (I am), it's truly wonderful how they had the "mind set" perfect. It also has a lot about history in Virginia & one of the oldest mysteries surrounding the United States. I don't want to spoil it for you, but if you want to venture off into a movie with lots of twists & a decent story line, this is for you. You will have to pay attention or maybe watch it twice. The first time is like, WOW, then the second you can see more clearly what is going on. Im surprised this movie doesn't have many ratings or views. Probably because its not "Hollywoodified".

Scott Cooper directs and stars in this modest drama about a preservation architect, Will Custis(Cooper), who will be challenged by ghosts of the past, his own ancestry and sanity. Custis will take on the task of refurbishing and old estate on the banks of the Chesapeake Bay that he buys from its owner Ferlin Smith(Kris Kristofferson). The homestead has been in the Smith family for decades and may actually have hidden secrets to an old legend in America's history. The past will come flickering back and forth as the young University of Virgina scholar seems to be on a psychological thrill ride ready to separate him from his sanity.Interesting scenery and a story line that borders creepy. The supporting cast includes: Rachel Nichols, Aimee Teagarden, Tom Skerritt, Scott Ulrich, Tom Bower and Joanna Cassidy.

I watched this movie because it looked interesting, or at least interesting enough for a guy who was bored on a Wednesday night. It was a decent movie until the end. I think the writers ran out of weed and decided to end the movie; however, they forgot what they were writing about in the first place.The acting was good, the atmosphere was good, the plot was decent. Stop reading here if you don't like spoilers. Basically, the movie ends with the main character waking up from a daydream. Someone should tell the writers that this is the cheapest way to end a movie.Don't watch this movie, don't rent it, don't download it, don't play it as background ambiance while playing WoW, or even as background to a bad poker party. I have never given a 1-star rating here on IMDb, until now.

a very well done and interesting journey with twists and turns. Great cast and an unbelievable ending. It makes you think and follow the story. Not a movie for short attention spans. Watch again to catch the clues. I would give it a 9 out of ten but i don't give 9 ,s . The locations are also really interesting. Give it a look. Skeet has a couple of great moments as well as Tom Bower as the sheriff. In the same vein as the sixth sense. Looks terrific great camera work the only thing maybe it is slow in parts but that is to weave the story deeper is my guess. Hope this helps it is nice to see something that attempts to be different and has a nice historical hook to it. Again definitely worth a look.
