 Salem's Lot Review (2004)
He comes as faithful to King's novel as we could ever possibly expect with some surprising twists of his own; as in Donald Sutherland's obscene twist on his character, the town’s acceptance of “out” characters, the incest subtext and Lowe’s creepy childhood memories.
Salomon’s paces the film fittingly — using half the film to introduce us to the townsfolk of Jerusalem's Lot, then strip them away to focus on the human vs. vampire element in the second half.
Salomon also has a bit of fun making subtle references to other Stephen King’s works.

Director Salomon was a cinematographer first and this shows: breathtaking visual compositions put you in the right mood from the start, and the whole film is elegantly mounted - a feast for the eyes.
But Salomon surprises also with gripping, layered chracterizations: he draws great performances from his actors who are uniformly wonderful.

The distance of this race was unusual in the skating world, the organizer of the “Roller Sud Goëlo” had planned 50 kilometers for this first part of the FIC 2005.
Four laps before the end Pascal Briand had a slight technical problem with a loose wheel, which lessened the gap between the two skaters and the rest of the pack to only 20 seconds.
It was the fourth edition of the race and most of the national teams and the Rollerblade and Saab Salomon international teams were present.

Filardi more often than none, managed to cover his vast ground evenly and taking into account the multitude of players he had to wrangle, that was quite a feat.
It surely helped that the visual effects were top notch (now that was some creepy vampires) and that Salomon knew how to build momentum to then smack me on the head with healthy doses of fright.
Mikael Salomon (who directed Hard Rain) should go back to features where he definitely has a flair for style, pacing, characters, suspense and mood.

Studio-delayed since the spring of 1997, HARD RAIN (aka THE FLOOD) was finally released, with noted cinematographer Mikael Salomon at the helm.
The last shot of Morgan Freeman zipping away in his motorboat, one that I will not discuss in detail, is probably the film's worst effect--a shot that should have most certainly been cut from the film.
HARD RAIN proved to be a successful sophomore effort by director Salomon, who crafted some engaging and exciting action sequences.

Toss in veteran actor Donald Sutherland (Cold Mountain, Citizen X), as Richard Straker, Barlow’s “partner,” James Cromwell as Father Callahan and Andre Braugher (Frequency, Primal Fear) as the teacher, Matt Burke, and you have quite a star-studded cast for a TV mini-series.
It’s as if Salomon said, “Okay, all the character development is out of the way.

Speed was able to overcome its simple plot--madman extorts money from the city with a bomb on a bus--with crack direction by Jan DeBont and the personalities created by stars Keanu Reeves, Dennis Hopper, and, most notably, Sandra Bullock.
Hard Rain's shortcomings do not lie with director Mikael Salomon, a former cinematographer.
Salomon stages the gunfights and boat chases with some skill (though no one but John Woo should even attempt to pull off a church shootout), and uses the waterlogged setting to create some striking shots.

 Hard Rain Movie Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
The messy script also suffers under the lethargic direction of Mikael Salomon, whose previous experience included Oscar-nominated visual effects on "Backdraft" and cinematography on "The Abyss".
Unlike other competitive offerings, Salomon bucked the trend of computer-generated imaging by building a large set for the town of Huntington in an airplane hangar and then actually flooding it.
Though it was an exhausting shoot for the crew, with long days being spent clobbered by thousands of gallons of water, the make-believe flood is quite impressive on the screen.

 Hard Rain . Newcity Chicago . 01-20-98
The opening shot of "Hard Rain" partakes of that same perverse glee, a four-minute computer-enhanced procession of cloud, lightning, storm and flood advancing on a small Indiana town.
As written by Graham Yost, late of "Speed" and "Broken Arrow," and directed by Mikael Salomon (cinematographer of "The Abyss" and director of the fine, underappreciated "A Far Off Place"), "Hard Rain" fails to live up to the thrills and chills of that shot once the plot kicks in.
In tiny Huntingburg, Indiana, a cash-laden armored car serving banks about to literally go under and manned by Christian Slater and Ed Asner is targeted for robbery by a gang led by Morgan Freeman.

A protege of Steven Spielberg, Salomon doesn't seem to have yet acquired his mentor's talent for keeping a leaky, improbable scenario moving fast enough to elude scrutiny.

Once the would-be thrills and special effects kick in, they prove pedestrian and anticlimactic -- especially given the script's needlessly complicated structure.
Cinematographer-turned-director Mikael Salomon is good enough with the choppy, MTV-style flashbacks, but his idea of creepy ambiance is to pan to the sinister Marsten house (which seems to be visible from every corner of Jerusalem's Lot) whenever the pacing lags.
As for the actors, well, King veteran Rob Lowe doesn't wrest much depth from the part of Ben Mears, who remains a rather static protagonist despite an updated backstory that includes muckraking journalism in Afghanistan.
