Heard She Got Married

Reviews

Louisa Moore - Screen Zealots
**By: Louisa Moore / www.ScreenZealots.com** _This film was screened at Fantastic Fest_ Fans of the Motern Media crew, who have a cult internet following, are the target audience for co-writer and director Charles Roxburgh‘s “Heard She Got Married.” The folks behind this film have a cult internet following, churning out completely homemade and self-funded movies for their select group of aficionados. I don’t think there is much appeal beyond this limited audience (although the director’s second Fantastic Fest entry “Magic Spot” fares better). Described as a “suburban noir thriller” by co-writer and star Matt Farley (I do applaud and appreciate his skill in the marketing department), the film tells the story of washed-up musician Mitch Owens (Farley) who has returned home and finally meets his new neighbor, a former bass player and now mailman, Van Hickman (Chris Peterson). Van tells Mitch about his delicious homemade hot dogs and a set of mysterious nude photos that were sent as a welcome gift. Sensing something is off, Mitch grows suspicious and is determined to figure out exactly what is going on. To reveal more would offer spoilers, but this film is more ominous than silly. As with Farley’s other films, this one features a cast of non-actors and is choppy all around. The pacing is also extremely slow and stagnant. I know it’s not easy to make a movie and I appreciate that fact, but just the act of investing time, blood, sweat, tears, and money into one doesn’t make it good, fun to watch, or successful. My initial reaction to “Heard She Got Married” is that it is a film that will not prove interesting to anyone outside of friends and family of the cast and crew. Apparently, I am mistaken. The filmmaker and his buddies have a cult-like following for a reason I cannot understand. I did not like this film as much as “Magic Spot,” which is far better. But that’s not saying much.

- Sammy2002-05-14A comedy movie by Matt Farley and Charles Roxburgh. It's both a part of their Druid-themed Thomasville series and an homage to the early 1980s horror movie The Pit.

- Better Behave1928-10-05Physical comedy drives this vehicle for then-famous clown Poodles Hanneford, part of a legendary British circus family. Already pushing forty but impeccably nimble, he plays suitor to beauteous, heavily daddy-guarded Betty (Betty Walsh) and the duo try their hardest to elope. This is an essentially plotless series of gags but they're good ones, well above the producing Weiss Brothers' average at the time. While "Poodles" never quite parlayed his big-top celebrity into screen stardom, he occasionally appeared in movies as late as circus-themed Hollywood spectacular BILLY ROSE'S JUMBO. He passed away five years later in the Catskills, no doubt surrounded by a diehard old-school showbiz community to the end.More...

- 1988 The Year On Video1989-01-011988 will long be remembered as the year of celebrations - Australia turned 200, we won gold at the Seoul Olympics, 'Fergie' gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, and the World Expo in Brisbane exceeded all expectations. But for every moment of great joy, there was a moment of tragedy and despair. Floods across Australia left thousands homeless; the world's worst air show disaster in Germany claimed the lives of 47 people; and in May we lost Ben Lexcen the genius behind the winged keel. These and countless other events that captured our imaginations, together with the people who touched our lives, deserve to be remebered. With 1988, The Year on Video they will live foreverMore...
