Just click the "Edit page" button at the bottom of the page or learn more in the Synopsis submission guide. Homer's musings are not the normal, adolescent-boy concerns (sex, school, sports), but rather speculations on subject matter that could constipate a graduate philosophy seminar, or goose a preacher to a day-long sermon. A heartfelt yet sodden directorial debut by Meg Ryan, Ithaca is wordy and static.
The characters are extremely clichéd and the cast does very little to make them their own. On this plus side, not only have the filmmakers used the historical back-road sites of Virginia for their filming, they have picked up the formidable talents of local-yokel Sam Shepard. It’s a bunch of 50s monster movie cheese crossed with late 90s/early aughts visuals told with a lot of unearned, self-important pretension. Terms of Use | And so it is that as spring turns to summer, 1942, Homer Macauley delivers messages of love, hope, pain... and death... to the good people of Ithaca.

Also likes boobs and booze. Overall, Project Ithaca has a solid idea but fails to deliver an entertaining film. 0 Comments, Director – Nicholas Humphries (ABC’s of Death 2.5, Crypt Fables) While wordy, Ithaca is nearly bereft of everyday dialogue: Erik Jendresen's script, focusing on the philosophical queries, crushes the human intrigue. One of the few moments the film actually entertains comes when the elderly alcoholic telegrapher imparts sage, crusty wisdom to eager-beaver Homer. The film was released on September 9, 2016, by Momentum Pictures.
by They are strapped to a chair by black tentacle like things that grip tighter and tighter the more you struggle. Homer delivers telegrams in the early '40s that begin with “The Department of War regrets” — you know the rest.
If the focus was on a world level it would have been a film with a bigger scope but having people in a tiny room bickering and fighting almost ruins it.

The movie is further deadened by numerous inner monologues as wet-behind-the-ears Homer (Alex Neustaedter) rides his bike and ponders serious matters. The synopsis looked interesting so I agreed to check it out. | Starring – James Gallanders (Bride of Chucky, Saw II), Deragh Campbell (Never Eat Alone, Mobile Homes), and Daniel Fathers (The Void, Orphan Black) Sera has spent her life being experimented on in an alien machine. Synopsis Filmed previously as The Human Comedy in 1943, this rebirth is almost a casebook study of how not to transpose “literature” to film. Taglines Fourteen-year-old Homer Macauley is determined to be the best and fastest bicycle telegraph messenger anyone has ever seen. Thanks for sending this one my way! Rating – 2/5.
John Brighton works for defence.
It looks like we don't have a Synopsis for this title yet. While it reunites Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks, which might prove alluring in ads, Hanks appears only in a tiny book-end role. They try to figure out why they are there and discover they are all from different decades and one of them has a special ability that has ties to an alien race that crashed in the 60s. Finally, The film has a stellar looking set. The story for this one has potential but fails to use it. I loved the look of the spaceship and the room the characters is in.
The pacing is extremely slow and predictable. Release Date – 2019 The people being abducted as a fuel source is nothing new but has the potential to be something greater is there with that story arc.
