VIDEO : 'Joshua' Unscripted - Sundance 2007
George Ratliff and Vera Farmiga talk about their movie 'Joshua.'
Okay, so I've never been much for the company of kids. which may make me extra-susceptible when it comes to the evil deeds and manipulations of a perfectly precious child on-screen. It's an easy button to push, though -- after all, who would ever suspect,...
George Ratliff's Joshua is my pick for the most underseen and underappreciated movie of last year; I suspect that as a true psychological horror film with something on its mind, it was simply too unpleasant to find much of an audience. But it proved...

Seriously, I kind of thought that in order for a movie to be good, things actually have to happen to move the plot along; the story itself has to be interesting and engaging; and something of significance and interest should be a part of the climax of the movie. Sadly, none of these things happen in "Joshua." You literally could walk in to the theater about 80 minutes in to the movie and really not miss a thing. I'M SERIOUS. Full Review
