Night at the Golden Eagle (2001)
Powerful Drama shows Rifkin's chops
This is a film that never found it's place in the market and that's too bad because it is a powerful and solid piece of film-making.
Everything from the film's stark look, to the excellent acting works on a number of levels, and hopefully the studios will take notice and start handing Rifkin dramas to direct. The screenwriting is also superb and compelling.
If you like films about hard subjects and harder people don't miss this rental.
Hookers and ex-cons hooking up can't be all bad until it gets all bad, which it does.
Slasher (2004)
Compelling, realistic, hard core funny flick
This movie is a naked, in-your-face look at the mysterious world of used car salesmen. I loved the way Landis combined the stark reality of the life of an on-the-road traveling salesman with the desperate humor that guys living on commission seem to possess.
Mike Bennet comes off as smart, driven and someone who likes beer too much.
If you like Glen Gary, Glen Ross, and Used Cars you'll love this.
The film is cut to an amazing blues score, and is crisp and terribly funny and terribly sad.
