Luster | Year: 2002 Classification: Drama Directed: - Everett Lewis Actors/Actresses: - Justin Herwick - Shane Powers - B. Wyatt Boring I didn't finish watching this one, if that means anything to you. Maybe it doesn't becouse you don't know me. I thought it was pointless and I didn't get where the story was going, if anywhere. None of the characters seemed too interesting. There was some nudity but it didn't help.<BR>The dvd has a full-screen transfer. very disappointing I ordered this dvd after reading the editorial comments as well as customer reviews. Also, it was recommended to me by Amazon. What a huge disappointment. The film is completely self-aware and self-conscious in trying to be hip and cool and cutting edge. For a film released in 2000, it is none of the above. It took me a while to realize I wasn't watching a film set in an 80's punk-lite scene. The acting was mediocre, the script was purposely vague (was that trying to be atmospheric, moody, or avante garde?), the cinematography was trying too hard to be gritty. And poor Willie Garson. How embarassing for him in a cliched role he walked through. I can't recommend enough that you avoid this movie. I watched the whole thing looking for signs of "fun" "refreshing" "sexy". It was really kind of sad and pathetic, with characters who were so full of themselves, I couldn't care less about the bad things that happened to them. It was just plain dirty, and not in the good way. I felt like I needed a shower afterwards. It's not that I didn't understand the film. I understood it too well. Maybe if it really was organic and earthy and real instead of trying hard to be those things, it might have worked. As it is, it may seem cool to people with limited perspectives. But if you're looking for something new or with an edge, this isn't it. In its attempt to be something original, it just became a bad version of more of the same, with bad haircuts. I love Sam so much... I really like this film 'cause it shows several types of gay lovers to let us think of true love. Among them I really like and sympathize with Sam (Shane Powers), who always behaves as a straight guy while always thinking of and loving his best friends in his heart... Shane Powers, as an actor, acts really well (amazing!), which left a very strong impression on me... Since I watched this film I've been looking for any information about him... Please tell me more about him! Buy Luster at Amazon.com Buy posters at Allposters.com Jamster - the latest ringtones for your phone!
