I don't know why you would call it mormon cinema any more than a Labute film qualifies as Mormon cinema. |

This is Mormon Cinema?
At what point is a movie "Mormon" cinema? When the story is about Mormons? When the characters include a Mormon? When the actors include Mormons? When a Mormon is among the producers? Among the viewers? Sorry, can't agree.

Mormon cinema is anything made by Mormon artists. Dutcher, Hess, and a whole bunch of garbage.
And no that does not include Neil Labute. |

Call me a Mormon homer, but I think Dutcher is a talented filmmaker.

I've only seen two of his films. They were fine, given the lack of budget, poor actors, and general inexperience.
I would like to see him continue to get work. |

Speaking of crappy Mormon cinema...American Zion. The second installment of the Work and the Glory series sucks. It is so bad that I could only watch 25 minutes of it. They replaced the girl that played Lydia in the first one who I enjoyed and was much cuter. Save your money and tell your relatives in Utah not to bother buying you the DVD because you live out of state like I do.

well maybe it take it back. If Labute's stuff in the future, is infused with a Mormon sensibility or perspective, I would consider it be part of Mormon cinema. But I doubt that will be the case.
I consider Napoleon Dynamite to be part of Mormon cinema (as I choose to define it), and I enjoyed it. I hope Hess has a nice career. |
