Wehomebrew.......2005-10-02

First Off, I Want To Say This Is One Of The Most POWERFUL Films I Have Ever Seen. Darren Doane Was On A Budget And Really Impressed Me With This Movie. It's Apocalypse Now For The Suburban Teenagers. The Movie Is Hardcore And The Sound Track Is Amazing (With Bands Like Blink 182, Pennywise, Downer, MXPX, Stavesacre, Rollins Band, Descendents, Guttermouth, Ten Foot Pole, Strife, AFI and Far). Godmoney Is A Story Of Urban Survival. It Is Set In Los Angeles, And It Is About A Guy Named Nathan Who Leaves New York And Tries To Forgive His Past Of Crime, Drug Addiction And Life On The Streets (And What An Intense Past He's Had, You Aren't Told About His Past Until Further Into This Movie). Once In California He Tries To Put His Life Together, But Is Befriended By Matthew, A Small-Time Dealer Who Recruits Nathan To Work For Him. Nathan's Life Is Turned Upside Down When Matthew Offers Him Twenty Thousand Dollars To Kill A Rival Dealer. Nathan Must Decide If Everyone, Including Himself, Has A Price. Godmoney Is The Highly Anticipated Release Of Doane's First Feature Film. I Feel Godmoney Makes Underground Independent Filmmaking All The Better And More Enjoyable To Watch Then Your Mainstream MGM Releases. The DVD Also Offers These Special Features Which I Really Enjoyed Watching :

* Audio Commentary By Director Darren Doane
* "Spoof" Commentary By Darren Doane And Producer Ken Daurio
* Three Deleted Scenes
* Four Music Videos
* Original "Making Of" Featurette
* Gag Reel
* Location Walk-Through With Darren Doane
* 30-Second TV Commercial Spot
* First 12 Minutes Of Original Godmoney Filming Attempt
* Theatrical Trailer

This Is A Suburb Movie! Powerful And I Promise You Will Be Glued To Your TV With This Movie. Watch And Enjoy! If Your Looking For A High Budget Movie That Has Big Actors And Actresses In It Look Else Where. But If Your Looking For A Movie Like 'Kids (Larry Clark), Elephant (Gus Van Sant), Julien Donkey Boy (Harmony Korine), Bully (Larry Clark), Scarlet Diva (Asia Argento), Clean Shaven (Lodge Kerrigan), Requiem For A Dream (Darren Aronofsky), Baise-Moi (Coralie Birginie Despentes), Irreversible (Gaspar Noe), Spun (Jonas Akerlund), I Stand Alone (Gaspar Noe), Funny Games (Michael Haneke), Gummo (Harmony Korine) Then This Movie Will Be Right Up Your Alley! Oh And By The Way, If You Haven't Seen All Those Other Movies I Just Mentioned, You Owe It To Yourself To See 'ALL' Of Them. Great Movies That Have All Gone Under The Radars Of Most People. I Highly Recommend All Of Them, If Your Looking For Movies That Are Jawdropping With Intense Moments, Look No Further (Look At Some Of My Other Reviews And Listmania's). I've Seen Alot Of Movies And Those Are All In The Top 100 For Me.

nice film, definitely worth a view.......2003-05-25

I rented this not long after it came out at Hollywood Video and I was pretty impressed with what I saw. I've rented several times since then and I just now finally bought it on DVD and I'm very happy I did. The storyline of the film isn't original by any means, but it draws you in nonetheless. The acting is suprisingly good, considering that several of the actors are actually rockers, (lead character-Rick Rodney, singer for Strife; Fletcher-guitarist for Pennywise; Warren-guitarist for the Vandals; and a few others who make some quick appearances). The film's camera work, music, and sound are also noteworthy.

I also enjoyed all the special features the DVD version had to offer. Some of the features weren't that entertaining but there are definitely some interesting highlights such as a 12 min. clip from the original Godmoney filming attempt, which, essentially, follows the same story but has completely different actors-it's interesting to watch the movie first then watch this feature; it's more weird than anything. There are also a few music videos by artists who contributed to the soundtrack, deleted scenes, and an interview with the director Darren Doane. I could see how some people wouldn't like this film for it not being flashy enough, but you have to keep in mind that this film was released in 1997 on a very small budget. Circumstances given, I think they did a killer job on this project. The only reason I don't give this film five stars is due to it's lack of character development. You find out just enough about each character to satisfy their roles in the film, but a few things get left unexplained leaving you curious about some of their origins. Overall I strongly recommend this release. It's got it's flaws, but it presents more than enough to merit a viewing.

(there's also a nice fight scene with a mean curbjob, a good two years before American History X made that their shocker scene)

if everyone involved with this movie would just cease living.......2001-12-10

this was the worst movie i have ever seen (and i have some pretty low standards). the acting was completely over done and the story line was followed so pitifully that i want to shoot myself thinking that i spent two hours working just to waste the money on this piece of [...]! i am now selling it on (the resale market)with a disclaimer that even though the movie packaging is in great condition i don't vouch for the actual movie being remembered as a good purchase for anyone.

Good effort.......2001-02-12

I did like this film, but for all the wrong reasons. I am not familiar with any of the soundtrack artists (except for Blink 182, and they are getting a little old), I wanted to see it because of the story. The story, it turns out, has been done before. You can get caught up following the life of a guy who must turn to drug dealing to survive, and the surprise ending and acting really worked. The direction was too MTV-ish, and I slowly realized that we are supposed to be cheering on a drug dealing murderer...what ever happened to heroic characters? Good elements, but no five stars.

"Underground" hit for "Mainstream".......2001-02-05

So far, I have seen mixed reviews about this movie. What it boils down to is that many viewers feel GODMONEY rips off American History X. However, this is not the case. Godmoney was made a year and a half before AHX. However, both movies, when stripped down, have alot in common. Godmoney is about a young man named Nathan (Ric Rodney of straightedge punk band STRIFE)who is searching for his identity. We learn about his past via black and white flashback techniques throughout the movie. The search for identity also leads Nathan to confront what is "morally" right. This is signified by the symbols of religion (churches, cross [or lack of in some cases!]). There is a significant use of symbolism with in this movie, so look out for them! I'm not trying to give away too much to the movie, so will just say, if you liked American History X, this movie is deffinitely for you. In fact, this movie is more "raw" than AHX, which gives it more credibility in my eye's. AHX is sugar coated to attract more "mainstream" theatre viewers. Whereas, Godmoney sticks to it's guns and delivers the goods, with out selling out. If anything, Tony Kaye, aka "humpty dumpty", should take directing lessons from newcomer Darren Doane. Doane created a more powerful movie than Kaye with lesser named actors (Rodney vs. Ed. Norton, which have you heard before? Who would win in a fight? My money is on Rodney because he is no "Brad Pitt ala FIGHT CLUB"). However, just like the great Aristotle said, it is the plot, not the actor, who makes the play (movie in this case). The plot, in effect, is what makes the actor a "star". So give Rodney and company their due, or give Doane more than a $200,000 budget, so he can showcase his talent.
