Personal attack


I read all of NYEMAIN's reviews (and it seems this person is most likely DRITCHBITCH as well) and they're all against writer/director Kamal Ahmed. I find it hard to believe with the tens of thousands of movies that exist in the IMDB databanks,Kamal's movies are the only movies this person wants to comment negatively on, unless there was some sort of personal vendetta. NYEMAIN is obviously a disgruntled actor, ex-friend or some other person who feels slighted by Kamal Ahmed and can only find relief by bashing Kamal's movies. Look,everyone has an opinion,but when it's no longer an opinion and it's clearly an attack, the people at IMDB should remove them. NYEMAIN contradicts him/herself by saying the acting was good, but not the script,dialog or direction. Well,how can acting be good unless it had good direction? Why would good actor's do a "no-budget" movie unless they were moved by the script? NYEMAIN also goes on to say the only saving grace was that the actors improvised their lines,instead of using what was written. Well,if you listen to the director's commentary,you will find that the actor's stuck to the script and it wasn't improvised at all. NYEMAIN also comments on the validity of the distribution " God has a rap sheet" obtained,saying if the movie were any good,why didn't a major studio pick it up. Well, It clearly was a small independant film,that got picked up by a small independant company. Where exactly is the problem here? I saw this movie at the now defunct TWO-BOOTS theater in the east village back in 2002 (it was deemed a must see movie for my sociology class) and it was one of my favorite movies of all time. But that's just my opinion. NYEMAIN doesn't have an opinion,just jealousy/rage or contempt for the auteur.

Your account was created today, but you mention people who I interacted with on a movie review of Rapturious, years ago. Who are you, did you feel compelled to create an account today, bring up something from over a year ago, or did someone force you to? I'm obviously a disgruntled friend, actor, have a vendetta against, it's got to be something right ... anything else you can think of, I just can be someone honestly reviewing a movie I saw? Clearly commenting negatively on a film means it’s a personal attack, when I went into detail what was my opinion and understanding of this film. Those actors in the film, except for one I've never seen anywhere else, they're all new faces except for Mr. Smith, of course, they'd give this movie a shot.

You're telling me when the Arab was arguing with the African American; those lines were in the script? I'd have to say no, it looked like they were going at it for real, that was no regular acting or reading of a script in my opinion.

Let us remove all negative comments on IMDB while we're at it. Let every movie get a perfect 10! As I said, I knew people would pop out of the woodwork once I left my honest review of this flick, just as they did for Rapturious. Some people can't take honest criticism it seems and go to great lengths to try to dispel it.

I will be posting points, of what I found problematic with this movie, as I did for Rapturious. I'm not done with my list yet, but will be posting shortly.

Sounds like vendetta to me.

If I'm reading all of this correctly, nyemain claims that: The acting is good... And the script is bad. And the directing is equally as bad.
The thought process of this review is questionable.

In short, most people agree that solid acting is usually a product of 2 factors: Solid directing and/or solid screenwriting. Also... When "Directing" is truly horrible - Then 9 out of 10 times, the film completely stinks, acting too. Furthmore, most people would agree that strong performances are rarely the product of a poor screenplay. Consequently, nyemain's postings are not indicative of a logical thought process. And nyemain is entitled to feel this way, depite the fact that his postings are seemingly uneven. Hell... There are always those people who dislike films for no reason whatsoever. There are even people who dislike great indies like, IN THE COMPANY OF MEN and those people who hated THE GODFATHER.

In addition... Solid indy films and studio films have nothing to do with lateral success. Widespread distribution is like hitting the lottery. Unfortunately for everyone, there are many awesome films that never even see the proverbial light of day. And why is that? Distribution (small or huge) is difficult to attain. The fact that any film actually acquires a decent distribution deal is a true victory in itself and such an accomplishment should never be diminished... By anyone.

In summation... I loved this movie - the dialogue, the acting and the directing. Furthmore, the amazing soundtrack is often overlooked in liue of the great storyline. In fact, I've popped in the DVD many times simply to enjoy the soundtrack, located on the special features menu. And I look forward to whatever somes next from Director, Ahmed.

DRITCHBITCH called Transformers the movie "Incredible." That alone tells me the guy has horrible taste.

The more I read nyemain's response,the more angry I am at myself for even responding to this guy. When he says things like "The Arab and African-American weren't acting from the script" it made me laugh to think,how the hell would this guy know? Was he there? Did he speak to any of the actors to find out? This guy's a joke,ignore him.

In response to your rebuttal,I did indeed start an IMDB account earlier today,but it was to challenge your obvious biased views. I don't care what movie you like or dislike NYEMAIN (DRITCHBITCH), I was only stating that your review was clearly a vendetta against an indie filmmaker,who most likely has to struggle to get his message on the big screen,and I felt it unfair that because you were angry at the man,you had to take it out on his work . "God has a rap sheet" is uncommercial. There are no names attached,there are no Hollywood studio executives attached. Just honesty. Which is more than what I can say for you. We can go tit for tat all day long with this,but I feel I made my case.
