Have you ever been just sitting around by yourself and you are contemplating life and you are talking to yourself and for some unknown reason you don’t feel like you are alone. Ever try to describe that and not sound crazy, even to you?

THE MOVIE HERO can tell you why. Once in a while my day dreams run a one day THE MOVIE WHORE MOVIE but just found out they beat me to it.

Blake (Our Hero played by Jeremy Sisto) begins the movie with the following piece of dialog that has become my new morning mantra as I sit down to watch a flick.

“Thou movie, which art on screen, hallowed be they name. The time has come. Thou will be shown in theaters as well as home. Give us this day our daily film and forgive our bad choices, as we forgive those whose movies were so bad to choose. And lead us not into television, but deliver us from that evil, for movies are the picture and the sound, and the greatest thing in the whole wide world, forever and ever. Movies Rule!”

You see Blake can see his audience and it is Blake’s job as our hero to keep us entertained. Since no one else can see Blake’s audience everyone thinks he is crazy.

“What if this movie held the answer to the universe? That’s why you have to see everyone.”

Tell me about it Blake. I think you are starting to get why I love this movie. Brad Gottfred (writer/director) is a movie whore and a damn fine filmmaker with this film. Every single one of us has had delusions of grandeur from time to time but Our Hero takes it to a whole new level as he picks out his Suspicious Character (Peter Stormare, yes Peter Fucking Stormare) who will be Our Heroes villain for the remainder of the film. The remainder of the film of course includes a love interest that just happens to be our heroes court appointed therapist. The dialog between Blake and The Love Interest is some of the greatest I have ever heard.

First off, I have always been a Sisto fan and in THE MOVIE HERO he is flawless as he goes back and forth talking to the audience and then talking about the audience never missing a beat and always bringing his attention to the right place every time. One of the best performances I have seen in a long time. Blake’s ever enthusiastic perspective of making his life interesting for his audience and the passion which he speaks to and about his audience is nothing short of moving. As insane as Our Hero sounds the passion behind his words make you want to cheer him on.You may think I am crazy but if you don’t like this character it says more about you, as in take the stick out of your ass and have a little fun for a while.

I have never been a big Dina Meyer (Diz in STARSHIP TROOPERS) but damn she was fantastic in THE MOVIE HERO as the Elizabeth, The Love Interest. She had some wonderful scenes in this movie that counted on her to deliver and she did. Again if you don’t get this flick, it says more about you than the flick.

Giving Our Hero the chance to step away is his Sidekick, Antoine (Brian J White) who is young but not stereotypical young. He is black but not stereotypical black. He’s a comedian but not a stereotypical comedian and tries really hard to convince Blake’s audience of this as he petitions to become The Side Kick.  I know what you are thinking but there is no way to describe this film and do it justice however It comes with a 100% The Movie Whore stamp of approval. This movie has such dialog that it will reach in and touch you on a personal level like no movie ever has. Abandon the serous side of life and be surprised as this silly little film draws in and takes you on a ride you will want to ride again and again.

Just do yourself a favor and watch the flick. Hell I am watching it a second time as I am writing this and still loving it. THE MOVIE HERO is a movie for all movie whores.
