Directed by Sharron Miller. Written by David O’Malley. Starring John Ericson, Ivor Francis, Judith Novgrad, Bernard Fox and Burr Debenning.
Plot: a cheating husband (Ericson) caught in a storm, seeks refuge with a mortician (Francis) who tells him four stories about people who have wound up in his establishment.
Right off the bat, I want to tell you that A) this would not have happened to us because we’re not cheaters. And B) I’m spoiling everything, so if you don’t want to know, stop reading now.
The first story is about a teacher who doesn’t even like kids who ends up getting bitten to death by children or things that look like children. The end is a bit of an acid trip, not sure why. We’re also not sure of the of the rules or the motive.
The second story is about a photographer who kills women on tape and is then executed. That’s it. No other story. No real point. Like, WTF!
The third story is about two detectives, one English and one American. And the English detective wants the American one dead so that he’ll be the best dectective in the whole world. It’s so weird. We don’t get it.
The fourth story is about a man trapped in a building and tortured. But once again we’re not sure why, the acting was bad and there’s not much of a story to it.
Altogether it was a dumb movie with an awful soundtrack.
I suppose I could list my favorite movies here, but instead I'll give you a strange glimpse into what makes me TaraRomero.
1. My favorite place in the world is Atlantic City. The food, the smells, the beach - I love it all.
2. I am particularly good at crafting. Especially scrapbooking and cross-stitch.
3. I am mixed. My dad is black and my mom is white. I'm very proud of both sides of myself.
4. My favorite food is either the cheesesteak or the hoagie. Not the sub, not the grinder, the hoagie. Totally different experience.
5. I have a number of pen pals I write snail mail to. We exchange stickers and little gifts sometimes, too. I have an extensive sticker collection.
6. I just reconnected with my father after 15+ years. It's going great so far. I've missed him.
7. My brother is my best friend, hence the reason we do this together.
8. I don't have a favorite book. I like too many to have a favorite. But Paul Zindel is my favorite author. Stephen King and Jane Austen are close seconds. I know, eclectic.
9. I'm not very religious at all. I consider myself agnostic.
10. I would say that my most prized possessions are my dogs, but I don't consider them possessions. I consider them people. They are my people.
