What a surprise
Review date: 2006-03-14 Rating: 8 out of 10
This film tells the story of a young guy who lives in the deep south, and his friendship with a local girl and the Aunt that he lives with. His hidden desires are woken when a drifter comes to stay on the plantation in a recently done up cabin. It is alittle slow in places, but worth sticking with, the film also neglects to give you the presumed happy ending. After all I guess it is trying to portray real life and not the fantasy we would all like it to have been. But that for me is what makes it a good film. Telling it how it is and not how it shold have been.
Red Dirt is a good little film to add to anyones collection. If only for Karen Black, whose portayl of the nutty Aunt is quite good. Anyway if you have read this far I suggest that you buy it and see for yourself what Red Dirt has to offer.

Worth Watching
Review date: 2006-01-27 Rating: 8 out of 10
I enjoyed this movie because it was not the average Hollywood attempt at a blockbuster. The storyline was simple and realistic and the characters had substance. There were no flapping queens running around trying to make statements. I was suprised at the good acting and felt myself drawn into the movie.
Shortly after the main character, Griffith, played by Dan Montgommery Jr hangs a Cottage to Rent sign, a drifter played by Walton Goggins arrives and convinces Girffith to let him stay in exchange for work. Griffiths attention is soon divided between a love-struck Emily, played by Aleksa Palladino and Lee the drifter who tries to talk Griffith into leaving small town country life for the allure of the more exciting West, and presumably also far out of the clutches of Emily and the strangely eccentric aunt Griffith cares for.
Definately worth watching - a few times. They don't make them like this anymore;)
