Actress Richardson Shines in ...Dream

This review is from: Lost Dream (DVD) Michael Welch (from "Twilight" fame) and Shawn Sipos ("Melrose Place" on CW Network) star in "Lost Dream"; a story about a college-aged son of a congressman who just learned his dad has gone to jail on corruption charges. But, the cast member I thought stole the movie was Patrica Richardson (known for her role as "Jill" in the 1990's tv sitcom "Home Improvment".) She plays Micheal's mom (same name) and in scene learned that Perry (M. Welch) has changed his way of life after meeting with Gio (S. Sipos' character) with out mentioning his name. She accepted it and the movie continued to an somber ending that you must see. Great job by Ms. Richardson and also by veteran television actor Joseph Capenella aho played Gio's uncle in the independent movie.

Performances are fantastic!

I had the fortunate honor of watching this film at the Tucson film festival and can I just say I was completely blown away! That guy from Twilight, Michael Welch, played the lead and his performance was outstanding as the troubled kid trying to figure out his life. The other guy playing opposite him was the dude on the new Melrose Place, Shaun Sipos. Not only is he just hot to look at, his character is so different from what we see on Melrose Place. I really believed that he was this tortured guy that had shut the world away from him. The story of the film is pretty current in my opinion. When I went to college, alot of kids were struggling with what their future held for them and experimented with bunch of stuff. This movie confronts those problems and doesn't try to make everything so cookie cutter.I have to say too that the style of the film was cool too. Its different and seemed more artistic and thought-out than your regular just follow storyline from beginning to end. I'm very happy that this is coming out on DVD. Its already on my pre-order list!
