Charles Burmeister should be crucified !!!
To call this talentless jerk a "writer" or a "director" is an insult to the film profession as a whole. Some of them do have talent, you know. Whoever this fricking Burmiester is, he should not be doing anything else for his miserable life than flip burgers at the burger joint in Echo Park.
Only in Hollywood could something this hideously bad be even "produced." In New York, they would tar and feather you for it. And wtf with "Kilmer Films?" Is this now another over-the-hill actor who suddenly convinced himself that he is going to be the next Clint Eastwood and his Malpaso Company? Lightining ain't gonna strike twice, Buddy.
I got this ultra low budget garbage at my local library for FREE, but I am still going to be making a racket when I return it tomorrow. Why did they even buy this dud? I guess they can't watch all the movies that come out...
I watched the first 50 minutes of it, and basically, all I saw in that time is Kilmer phoning a bunch of characters from an LA park in which he seems to be the only white jerk. He must have called someone like 25 times in 50 minutes. The split screen technique got boring by minute 10. The camera guy seems to have epilepsy. One never knew if a scene was supposed to be in the past, future, or in the Twilight Zone. Mostly the Twilight Zone.
The black kid co-starring with Kilmer was not too good, either. But I guess this is what you get for free in a city park.
The DVD has a trailer on it called "Warbirds." That turkey makes "Colombus Day" look like an Academy Award contender.
All in all, "Columbus Day" is so bad, you will wish America was never discovered.
