Dakota Skye
Dakota SkyeQuote: For as long as she could remember, Dakota Skye has been cursed with a super power. She has the ability to see the truth in any lie she hears. From small, harmless white lies, to the more devious kind, they have come from the people that she should trust the most; her family, friends and teachers. These lies have snowballed, leading to her becoming bitter and apathetic towards the world around her. Now seventeen, Dakota just watches the world happen around her, unmotivated to join it. She has a boyfriend who plays in a semi-popular local rock band and her best friend from childhood, but finds little joy in her own life. One day, Jonah comes into town. It only takes a few days before Dakota notices something about him that sets him apart from the other people in her life. He doesn't lie. Through her friendship with Jonah, her eyes are opened to the world around her and she sees that there is something out there more than all the lies. There is a possibility of something different... something better. If only he wasn't her boyfriend's best friend. Now she must make a choice. Can she go back to the apathy that has dictated her life, ignoring something potentially amazing? Can she take the leap into the unknown with Jonah, ignoring all the repercussions that may come from that decision? Is he really the person that she thinks he is and wants him to be? The only thing that becomes clear is that Dakota can no longer be a spectator in her own life. She has to look at her life as it was, is and could be and make a choice for the first time.

Re: Dakota Skye
Saw this at the film festival here last night. It was hailed as "the next Juno" (yuck), and we were would we would be hearing "big things" from the director and star. Well, I don't think so. It didn't annoy me as much as Juno did (hardly any films do), but I wasn't impressed with it, anyway. It's very clearly a cheap, amateur indie film, and everything shows. The acting is pretty poor, and wreaks of single takes. The direction is unambitious and fairly boring. The script is lame and generic. There's really nothing about this film that screams "mainstream breakout". It's fairly meh all-around. And the director hasn't even secured distribution rights yet. So it looks like I get to be one of the few that gets to see this thoroughly mediocre film. Yay for me!

Re: Dakota Skye
I loved the movie. I thought the movie was honest, well-acted, and I was totally into it the whole way. I liked Juno, but I thought this was better. It was probably rightfully not released in theaters. It would have been tough to sell it. It hits DVD on Tuesday July 14th. (I work at a video store, so I got to see it this weekend).

Re: Dakota Skye
This was a really enjoyable movie with a few very nice scenes. Definitely worth checking out.
On a side note, Ian Nelson is absolutely adorable. He's also talented. His performance came off as very natural.
7/10 ( B )
