i just saw the screening of Confession in Hollywood tonight, and totally blew me away! johnny is my buddy, and thought he did a great job writing/directing the picture. there were many funny parts to a rather serious thriller. great job to all those who worked on this picture, and congrats to my friends, Johnny, Cheo, and Christian for a great job!

You are so lucky. I can't wait til the rest of the world gets to see this movie. It sounds so great. Was the screening well attended? Was everyone from the cast and crew there to see it?

Yep, agree. Just watched this on DVD here in England and was blown away by it. Ok, so Chris Pine is a bit older than the 17 years he's meant to play but so what? He did a great job, he is going to be fantastic if he carries on like this. The first movie I saw him in was Star Trek as the young Kirk (another awesome job) and so anything else now is *new* to me even if it was made before Trek.
I would never have seen this but for the fact I am collecting (and therefore slowly going broke) the movies of the always wonderful Bruce Davison. Because of my admiration for Mr Davison, I have seen movies I would never have known existed (The Wave anyone? - now THAT is an amazing movie if you can get hold of it), and Confession is another one of these movies.
I also thought it was a nice touch to have Chris Pine's father Robert in the movie at the beginning, you don't see him that often in front of the camera these days, and I always remember him as he station chief in CHiPS all those years ago!
The person whose review is on the front page here slates this movie as being boring and predictable, and whilst he/she is perfectly entitled to voice such an opinion if that's truly what they felt, I have to disagree, it was an incredible movie and the end was brilliantly done too.
If you get the DVD of this be sure to check out the out-takes and the deleted scenes, especially where one scene is *spontaneously* done as an operatic piece, laughed out loud at that, very good.
All in all, loved it. Star studded cast (including my beloved Bruce Davison), Cameron Daddo, Tom Bosley, Chris Pine, Robert Pine, the list goes on. Well done to all concerned; independents like this are fantastic to watch, and I suspect fantastic to act in!
Hey j-mac,
I loved this movie, and am a huge Chris Pine fan. I was also impressed by supporting preformances, like Lukas, Cameron, and Peter. And also what a ridiculously good movie this was, especially from a first time writer and director like Jonathan Meyers.
I was wondering, is there a fan mail address or a way I can send a letter to Jonathan so I can get an autograph, or just tell him how much I liked the movie?
thanks for the help!
