The Confessor, a review by Rich

The Confessor



Everyone Has A Secret To Confess.

Christian Slater (True Romance, Interview With A Vampire) stars in this tense psychological thriller about a priest caught in the middle of a dangerous murder case. While making his name as a loyal public relations representative for the Catholic Church, Daniel Clemens (Slater) has lost his true calling. But when a fellow priest is accused of a brutal slaying, Clemens defies church orders and continues investigating the case to prove the priest's innocence. With the aid of local reporter (Molly Parker, Nine Lives, TV's Deadwood) and a church lawyer (Stephen Rea, The Crying Game, The End Of The Affair), Daniel soon discovers the deadly truth which will test his faith to the limit.

With a made for TV feel about this movie, it really does not grab the attention, is short on suspense or mystery, and is the type of fare I would only recommend for a wet Sunday afternoon if you were really bored.
Poor old Slater really has filled his career with some average films, I always thought he warranted better roles.

What they sayMy Thoughts
I actually liked this one! First time I've seen it (that I can remember). I found it quite reminiscent of The Goonies, which is good! I like that they stayed true to the original makeup design for all the monsters. The kids are great in this movie, they are believable, even the lead one. I also liked how they set the tone with the opening text scroll whihc ends with "They blew it." (speaking about Dr. Van Helsing messing up the banishment of Evil). All in all, that was quite an enjoyable, light hearted movie.

This is a series I remember seeing a handful of episodes of years ago. I enjoyed watching this 3 episode best of disc quite a bit. It reminded me of how much I enjoyed this series when I was a kid. Though how this is not how I remember the series. I could have sworn I remembered this series in color. Now this could be because the series started out in B&W and then went to color at some point within the series. Or I could have possibly seen colorized versions of it on TV. But I could have sworn I also remembered this to be an hour long show... but it seems I am remembering wrong as each episode on this disc was just under half an hour each. All the episodes on this disc was very good... enjoyed them all. But if I had to pick a favorite episode on this disc... I guess I would have to go with Mail Order Groom... as it was a plain fun episode that even had a touch of comedy mixed in with it.
