Anderson's Cross (2010)

Brilliant and touching

Absolutely Fantastic

It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

I have to agree with "gotcha74" about this film. There are so many problems on both the creative and technical sides.Jerome Elston Scott must really think highly of himself to think that he can pass himself off as a teenager. Putting on a big wig does not make an obviously middle age man look 17. (By the way, they should fire the hair person on this production because his hair changes in every other shot, although continuity is the least of this film's problems.)Ego is exactly the correct word! Not only does a middle age man cast himself as a high-schooler, but he writes a script in which he has the whole town - practically - wanting to sleep with him? Did anybody buy that? This film needs to cut out about 30 minutes, it's too long. There are way too many unnecessary scenes that does not enhance the story. First rule of filmmaking: If it doesn't add to the story, you don't need it.Movies showing teenagers having sex is not edgy anymore, yet the filmmaker wants to beat you over the head with it. The only sex scene that was actually shown was horribly acted. There was no chemistry between the Kevin and Tracy character. It seems as if it was his first time and she looked really bored, yet they are supposed to be in love? As much as I support independent film making, I cannot recommend this film.

like i have said before , i give the guy props for getting the film made , but he should of checked his EGO at the door when casting. He is so bad i almost thought his acting was some sort of punchline in the movie , till after a few minutes and i realized , he cannot act! One facial expression in every scene , two tone's of voice one for sad and one for everything else! The photography is not great , not even good , it is bad! There is one scene where it is supposed to be night time and there is a shadow on the floor from the sun coming through the window! He needs to do less acting and maybe take some film classes and learn how to be a director , before , just doing it! If he did take some classes he would learn to control all light when filming by blocking out the windows! Man , that is basic stuff!

Anderson's Cross is a more than it appears.From what I understand, this movie was made by Jerome E. Scott whom, as a student of classic film-making, believed in doing it the old- fashioned way. Along with his friends and advisors, he pooled his financial resources, delayed enjoying some of life's pleasures for several years, and crafted a film (critics said could not be done without studio backing)into an extraordinary dream come true.Hard work and determination paid off and it shows. There are no flashy special effects, sci-fi shots, gross nudity, or cheap gimmicks. Just raw story.Films like this are virtually impossible to make these days. This is what film-making is all about folks!

I caught a bootleg trailer for this film and I absolutely cannot wait to see it! A deeply moving story about a group of friends who have experienced the trials and tribulations of growing up together, thinking they know everything there is to know about each other . . . only to discover that's not the case. The film centers around Nick Anderson as he and his friends reluctantly enter adulthood all the while experiencing the breakups and breakdowns that life throws at them.The talented cast includes familiar seasoned actors as well as tomorrow's hot new stars. Jerome E. Scott . . . writer, actor and director . . . has truly captured the essence of growing up in suburbia. Everyone will be talking about this film . . . don't miss it!
