Wow, did not know that.Nope, but I do recognize him from somewhere. Fun Fact: The girl who plays his sister is the woman who has voiced Bart Simpson for the last eon
I just looked on IMDb to see where I saw the kid other than in this--had to have been in Hogan Family (though I don't remember watching that), because he didn't do much else. Another Fun Fact: his mouthless sister in the movie was Cherrie Curie from The Runaways (I just learned that one!)
). I liked it. Available on netflix.
THANK YOU! SKMB is making me very happy tonighthi skimom
here is a Really good copy of that movie ... Watch Movie The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer (2003) Full
From what I remember the scene used was of Vic holding the two kids in his arms next to the helicopter. That took place right before they were killed. It may only be a second or two but it's there. They had to heavily edit the story after that, don't know if they used doubles for the actors after that to continue the story.
I Am Not A Serial Killer (2016) Christopher Lloyd, Max Records, Laura Fraser
A teen that has been diagnosed with sociopathy hunts down a supernatural killer while trying to keep his own issues under control. It's a movie about alienation in a horror movie skin (if that makes any sense

Sorry, I'm quoting myself
I saw that this movie was adapted from a novel and I looked on Amazon and there is a series of novels about the main character. Has anyone read them? Just wondering what someone thought because this really seems like it could be an interesting character for a series. The books were listed as young adult so I'm not sure if thy are out of my age range or not.
BTW - Is sociopathy a word or did I make that up?

That's exactly right. I make my own words all the time, and the world be damned.thank you. The word had the red underline and when I would right click it, there was no substitute. It sounded like a word to me and that's what counts.
Don't you mean 'whirled'?That's exactly right. I make my own words all the time, and the world be damned.
Unfortunately, due to the general public's lack of attention span, this is what film makers have to do in order to keep someone's attention. This fast cutting is everywhere now- movies, commercials, etc. It's a shame that this has come to be. I, too, enjoy watching something that can hold a shot for more than 2 seconds.I've been working my way through a box set of the James Bond films for the last few weeks, and it has been depressing in some ways. The difference between the early films and the later ones is huge, and there are two main culprits - shaky cam and fast-cut editing.
Shaky cam is well-known, and there are plenty of people who loathe it as much as I do. Fast cutting, on the other hand, does not come in for the same amount of criticism, and yet I feel that it is just as harmful towards a film as any amount of handheld shaky camerawork. In watching the old Bonds (and any film made before 2000 or so), shots were established and then held for a reasonable amount of time before the director felt the need to flick to a different angle. Nowadays the camera flips back and forth between multiple viewpoints every second or two, even when there is absolutely no need to do so. Personally, I have always felt that the old rule of "less is more" applies very well to writing, filmmaking, music, or any artwork. Stillness and silence draw the viewer in and build up incredible tension.
Not long ago I watched the BBC's 1979 adaptation of Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, and the stillness of the camerawork left me on the edge of my seat with white knuckles, just waiting for the tension to suddenly break with a SNAP! One interrogation scene was particularly memorable, as it was filmed from just a single point of view. You saw the face of the interviewee, and about a third of the face of the interviewer, and the effect was extraordinary - you could have heard a pin drop in my living room! Nowadays this scene would be ruined by the camera hopping from full close-ups of each person's face whenever they spoke, as well as countless pointless changes of camera angle thrown in for no reason at all.
To get back to the original subject - the old Bonds feel like well-constructed classics, and watching them back-to-back with the new ones really shows up the inadequacy of modern directorial trends. Jumpy cameras, held by people with the shakes... Is anyone else annoyed by these things, or am I just showing my age?
