Steve Collins; Vimeo Staff Pick).Reviews for The Happy Poet:"My favorite movie so far at this year's SXSW is a little comedy, at once wistful and wonderfully dry-witted, called The Happy Poet. ... damned if my heart didn't swell during the film's great climax to say nothing of the last shot that left me touched to the point of tears. Austin filmmaker Paul Gordon, who wrote, directed, edited and starred in the movie ought to be mighty pleased with himself." ~Karen Valby, Entertainment Weekly"A sweet, stealthy film about creating meaning in your life (and your work) in a relentlessly mercenary world. Off-handed and yet quite artfully observed, The Happy Poet's winsome deadpan offsets its skewering of class and sustainability issues, right through to a tricky ending that, like Bill himself, may not be what it seems." ~Michelle Orange, The Village Voice"In its laid-back tone, "The Happy Poet" is reminiscent of Richard Linklater's 1991 debut, "Slacker," another Austin-set indie comedy. Gordon's first post-film-school feature, however, is more assured, polished and ready for prime time." ~Michael O'Sullivan, The Washington Post"The poet wants to be happy but doesn't really know how to go about it. It's a pretty good joke, and Mr. Gordon tells it with enough discipline and invention to make a significant portion of the film funny in interesting, subversive ways. A promising debut." ~Mike Hale, The New York Times"This deadpan no-budget comedy, about a glumly idealistic man who decides to start a health-food stand and the complications that result, is a genuine under-the-radar gem-the kind of quietly charming, profound film that creeps up on you. It's also, as luck would have it, perfectly acted." ~New York Magazine"The Happy Poet, a deadpan charmer directed by Austin filmmaker Paul Gordon, moves along at the brisk pace of a light romantic comedy. ...Everything about The Happy Poet is cheerily conventional, save for Gordon's hilariously monotonous delivery, an ironic performance that incessantly contradicts the movie's title." ~Eric Kohn, IndieWIRE"...Even better, the film's dry sense of humor belies sincerity, rather than the kind of ironic detachment that seems to pop up frequently in independent films." ~Todd Gilchrist, Cinematical Reviews for Saturday Morning Mystery (Massacre):"There are also subtle performances that are sure to stand out, particularly by the monotone police officer (played by Paul Gordon) as he takes the team on a tour of the abandoned house, pointing out "We found a leg over here." as if he were reading instructions on how to program his television." -Ain't It Cool News"The entire cast does a great job throughout, but I did have an affinity for Paul Gordon's sheriff, because he's got that aloof, dry cadence to how he speaks that becomes that much better when he's giving you the lowdown on a haunted house's history. It's like, he doesn't really believe it, right? No? Then why does he suggest they stay elsewhere?" -Film Threat"... it is Officer Lance (Paul Gordon) who gets the most laughs, and deservedly so. There were quite a few inspired casting decisions for Saturday Morning Massacre, but Paul Gordon's dry delivery works incredibly well for the character of the helpful police officer. Gordon's Lance is not one of those fumbling or gun crazy law enforcement characters that we are used to seeing in horror films; he is a nice, level-headed guy who just happens to develop a crush on Nancy - and who can blame him?" -Smells Like Screen Spirit"Paul Gordon is pitch-perfect as Officer Lance in this scene. His deadpan delivery as he shares stories of the house and its past residents is wonderful. " -Shock Till You Drop"Non-Scooby gang member, Officer Lance (Paul Gordon), is aces when it comes to stealing most of the funniest bits. His laconic delivery is rather off-putting at first, but soon begins to flow and make more sense. Once it fully kicks in, his character is simply a riot. A throwaway line about something he discovered inside the school is funnier than any line in The Cabin In The Woods (and I loved that film!)." -Bloody Disgusting - IMDb Mini Biography By: Paul Gordon
