Booster

beautifully shot with quality performances
What a relief to see a movie set in Boston that doesn't overwhelm you with terrible attempts to recreate the accent, gratuitous cops and robbers action scenes, or shot after shot of Harvard Yard. "Booster" is moving, rhythmic, beautifully shot, and full of characters you can empathize with. Newcomers Nico Stone and Adam DuPaul were strong, and the addition of Seymour Cassel to the cast was a stroke of genius and/or luck for this "little movie that could". Highly recommended.

Great acting.
You feel as if there was just a camera crew following these people. I like how its not an over the top Boston bank robbery movie. This feels like something that could actually happen.

A director to watch
Well-written and full of gritty realism, this film is an excellent first time out for director Matt Ruskin and first-time actors Nico Stone and Adam DuPaul, among others. It's impressive to watch it and realize that these guys are just getting started. Just don't look for any shoot-outs or car chases--it's built instead around a moral dilemma and how an average person wrestles with that. Definitely look for more from this crew.

Young Pioneers Christmas

A heart warming example of the true meaning of Christmas.
I saw this movie on T.V. last year and I have been trying to locate a copy on video so that I can use it as a family teaching tool. Every year we get so caught up in the materialism of Christmas and we sometimes forget just how blessed we really are. The young pioneer family in this movie shows how love conquers all and that we should be joyous and thankful for all that God gives us, all throughout the year. It really changed my attitude towards the whole gift-giving process; We should all give and receive from the heart and not be concerned about monetary value. I highly recommend this movie for families every where! God Bless...
