Neil Breen
Scorsese, Kubrick, Spielberg—these names all conjure up images of original, breathtaking cinema. However, we are blessed to live in a time where all those names will be but a pale shadow in comparison to a visionary newcomer. A man whose name will soon stand with such silver screen giants as Coleman Francis and Harold P. Warren. We, of course, speak of none other than Neil Breen.
Neil Breen is nothing short of an angel sent from heaven. And we mean that quite literally, because if you watch his movies he often stars as an alien or Jesus or Alien Jesus (yes, srsly). Breen has some sort of narcissistic obsession with depicting himself (as he is always the main star of his own movies) as a supernatural force of moral righteousness who descends upon earth to teach we mere mortals the err of our ways. Even when playing a human he will have incredible skillz, such as being a super-h4x0r, and will still eventually gain some sort of magic power during the course of the film.
His films basically combine the technical mastery, story structure, and emotional depth of Derek Savage and James Nguyen, only with massive amounts of unwarranted self-importance which rival that of Tommy Wiseau added to the mix.
Neil Breen: The Man
Breen is, by trade, a licensed architect in Las Vegas, Nevada according to a pair of interviews he gave in 2014 [1] [2], and uses the income he earns from that to finance his movies. This actually makes perfect sense given that just as architects put pieces of wood together to make wooden structures and people throw their money away on in Las Vegas, so too does Breen put wooden actors together to make wooden movies and throws all his money away doing so. However, a phone call to the Nevada State Board of Architecture, Interior Design and Residential Design in 2016 reveals that they have no record of a Neil Breen being licensed in Nevada, and although he was once a licensed architect in California, that license expired in 2011. It is, therefore, unclear what he actually does for money (maybe he made a killing at the blackjack table), but whatever it is, it certainly doesn't appear to be a "licensed" architect.
So much the better for us, though, as this leaves him more time to follow his true calling: making movies about himself in which he's a super alien Jesus h4x0r Navy SEAL messiah fighter pilot dinosaur sniper ninja who has come to save mankind from its immorality through his powers of taking off his shirt constantly and cheap fade effects.
Neil Breen: The Movies
While Breen's Facebook claims that his movies were once shown in theaters, we're guessing that unless you were one of Breen's friends you probably missed them. So, if you're interested in purchasing them, they are currently only available on his website, which is about as indecipherable as the PC LOAD LETTER error. If you want to purchase Fateful Findings you just click and buy it. However, if you want to purchase any of his other movies, you have to click to buy Fateful Findings and then in the PayPal notes type the name of the actual movie you wish to buy. And, to make matters worse, it says this NOWHERE on the actual website. The only way you can find this out is to go to his Facebook and scroll down to a December 7, 2015 post where he gives poorly formatted instructions on how to do this. The Irate Gamer may suck, but at least you can fucking figure out how to buy stuff off his shitty website. Adam Johnston from YourMovieSucks reports that his DVDs didn't even arrive in actual DVD cases, but rather cracked CD jewel cases (but hey, at least they were personally autographed by Neil Breen).
Double Down (2005)
Double Down opens with a minute long "credits" sequence in which we fly over clouds. The only information given during this sequence is the movie's title, Neil Breen's name (as actor, with no other actors mention), and then "Directed, Produced, and Written by Neil Breen." The weird part is that there is a huge gap between his name the first time and his name the second time, in which other actor's names could have appeared, but that would have taken Breen another five minutes of his time on Windows Movie Maker. We then cut to the desert where our hero, Aaron Brand (Breen), is hiding under some rocks and telling us (via voiceover) about just how awesome he is. And that's pretty much the entire movie: 1 hour and 45 minutes of Breen telling us how badass he is. The words "narcissistic" and "vanity project" don't even begin to describe it. The movie is intercut with much obvious stock footage and lengthy pointless driving scenes which really evoke the spirit of Manos: The Hands of Fate, but I'm just going to list all of the skillz Breen (as Aaron Brand) tells us he possesses (through movie-long voiceovers) since that's basically the whole plot:
- He was the first in his class in computer science in college.
- He then joined the military and became a fighter pilot (and also won an assload of medals).
- He joined the (I'm quoting this exactly) "Secret Strategic Support Branch of the Defense Intelligence Agency" and became the "best agent they ever had" at fighting terrorism.
- He developed a way to control any computer or satellite the government had.
- He donates all the money he makes as a mercenary to children's charities, hospitals, schools and also supports the evacuees of hurricanes "like Katrina" AND assures us that he uses the money more wisely than any government (which he further informs us are all corrupt).
- He has"bio-medical electrical implants" to assist him in whatever the fuck he's going to do (which were implanted in him via stock footage of a hospital).
- He kills white-collared criminals that go unpunished like some libtard version of Dexter.
- Not only can he hack into any government system but he actually invented half the systems.
- Governments don't try to kill him because he's planted "biological-bombs" in seven major cities around the world that will detonate if he doesn't upload a code to a satellite every three days (sure hope he doesn't get in a car accident, or something).
- He has invented an "invisible shield device using satellite lasers" that turn him invisible but causes instant death to anyone else who touches the shield.
- He is a master of "bio-terror" and is an expert in the development of biological weapons (although it's odd that he never mentioned being trained in biochemistry, but it's probably easier to list what this guy is not an expert at).
- He can start and end wars using his computer skills.
- He talks only to world leaders directly and can do this whenever he wants.
- He does all of this with five laptops, eight phones, and two DirecTV dishes.
- He gains magic brain tumor healing powers from either his dead parents or dead girlfriend (I'm not sure).
The reason, by the way, he does all this is because the gub'ment became scared of his mad computerz skillz and so they killed his fiancée (let this be a lesson to set up your biological-bombs before the government kills your fiancée instead of after). Brand assures us all he wanted was to lead a simple life and endlessly tells us how alone he feels without his love. Oh, and he lives in his car and eats tuna out of a can which he spills all over himself. Eating and driving is apparently the one thing he has not yet mastered.
