Far better than it was made out to be from 'American Movie'


I loved American Movie.

Loved it.

Brilliant movie.

So of course I watched Cöven tonight. A far more competent movie than I was expecting. Absolutely something that an inexperienced director/producer/writer/star should be proud to have accomplished.

I've seen a handful of movies this last year with less polish than Cöven.

Far better than most of the typical MST3K fare.

I think American Movie made Coven look very good. I mean, the process was seen as absurd and totally f-ed up, but the sequence in which they show the Coven premier made it look pretty damn cool, in my opinion. And you're right, it's a good little film! Too bad the guy didn't make enough money from American Movie to do a feature. He's inarticulate, but obviously talented.
