Good work

A review of THE MAFIA TYPE

by bradleyturton on 11/18/2012

Good little flick with a couple of unexpected turns. I did not understand why we needed the scene with his little girl where she tells him to be careful. She seemed to know more about him than a little girl would actually know, not to mention she was not that great an actor so it hurts the film. I don't mean the part where he plays with his daughter, that scene is needed... read

Just a Movie's Message

A review of It's Just A Movie

by bradleyturton on 11/16/2012

Marshall McLuhan coined the phrase, "The medium is the message". "It's Just A Movie" takes it one step further and says the medium is responsible for the message. So if we don't like the message we should kill the messenger/medium. However, I believe the film maker wanted to show what can happen if freedom of speech is not protected - killed in an over dramatic horror film... read

Not Quite There

A review of Stare Straight Crew

by bradleyturton on 11/16/2012

From my point of view, Stare is a good film, however the actors need a little help. Sometimes they go a little over the top and it doesn't seem to fit the mood of the scene. This would be a fault of the direction more than performance. It is the job of the actor to go for it all and the job of the director to reign them back. Of course the camera work, sound, lighting work... read

Day in the life of the Athlete

A review of The Athlete

by bradleyturton on 12/11/2007

Great idea for a documentary. Just a snippet of the life on sporting field for the horses. Not done really well in the actual execution. Hand held camera a the beginning should have been on a tripod as it appeared to be later in the film. Some dark shots that should have not been there. Camera position changes when it probably shouldn’t between the jump shots. However... read

Experiment

A review of Put It Down

by bradleyturton on 12/09/2007

Urban poetry as a film. Didn’t work for me. Maybe not my thing. The singing at the beginning put me on the wrong foot with this one and nothing in the flick changed my mind. The opening static pictures of the city were nice though. In fact there was some good framing of subjects in most of the shots. I didn’t understand the narrator floating around in space. Kinda experimental... read

Great but Not My Cup of Tea

A review of Insomniac

by bradleyturton on 11/22/2007

Production values are perfect and the acting is great. I didn’t like it but. I just didn’t buy into the story for some reason. I think it might have to do with absolutely no dialogue. Why the girlfriend/wife/partner says nothing to her troubled man, perplexes me. I know it is the style that has been adopted for the piece but it just doesn’t work for me. I just thought... read

Good Flick

A review of Heart Attack

by bradleyturton on 11/21/2007

Quite and entertaining little flick. Lots to say that is good. The acting is for the most part good – the young date was really weak comparatively. The outdoor shots were far better than the restaurant. The restaurant was too one dimensional and needed the camera to move around and see more, however it was a clever edit to “slide” back and forth to Leslie’s many failed... read

Very good

A review of Father's Day

by bradleyturton on 11/20/2007

Very good flick. Liked it a lot. The first time I watched it I had a tough time understanding the calling for a pizza thing. It didn’t quite fit for me but I liked the feel of this flick so much that I gave a second view and just accepted it as just part of life even if your life has fallen down around you. A note to the direction of the female outside the door – she should... read

Good Try

A review of The Great Hollywood: Case of the Go-Go

by bradleyturton on 11/20/2007

Not a bad idea. The execution, though, was a bit messy. The scenes up until the mime was in the park didn’t fit together very well. They didn’t seem to be part of the same movie. The acting was a bit of a let down and could have brought much life to this script. The mime was great but more imaginary objects could have been used in the fight against the clown. It was shot... read

A Must See

A review of Mix CD

by bradleyturton on 11/20/2007

That’s what I’m talkin’ bout. This is a great short. The director said this is all he could do on a zero budget – well lets give him a couple of bob and see what he can do. The technical aspects were spot on. Sound (in stereo) was great and could hear everything that was said. Lighting was worth a million bucks – I could see everything and there was a bit of mood set in... read
