A review of The House

by bryannest on 03/12/2006

This short would be better if it was edited shorter. I think the idea is good, but it drags on too long, especially after the audience knows the joke. I think if it was directed more dramatically it would have been more effective as well. Also, for cinematography, look up the 180 degree rule. It is simple, and would have helped the story be less jarring. It looks like... read

Good, but I didn't laugh

A review of Wannabe

by bryannest on 12/30/2005

I didn't really laugh out loud. I thought some of the stuff was pretty creative and the production value was good. The acting was pretty good too. It could have probably been a bit shorter, that way I would have laughed because the jokes would have been flying at me. It was well done though, especially within 48 hours.

It grew on me

A review of Fear of Flying

by bryannest on 12/22/2005

Nice job, I have a ton of respect for the process you went through making this film. It took me a while to get into the story, but I eventually did. I thought the acting and editing was really well done. The subway stuff at the beginning weighed me down a little bit. I think that is what took me a while to get into it. I can't believe you edited on a Steenbeck, thats impressive... read

Cliche

A review of Killing Time

by bryannest on 12/21/2005

This film is clearly by a first time filmmaker because when I started all my movies were like this too. Everything was cliche, the boring office job, the killer on the phone (for no motivated reason), the heartbeat as he ran, and the "surprise" ending that it was all a dream. Also the killers voice sounded like a 12 year old boy. However, I always have love for the $0 budget... read

Interesting

A review of When Hope Is Helpless

by bryannest on 12/21/2005

I wasn't really sure how to feel after watching this. Is is very originally put together. The tone of the subject matter, and the editing, and the music are all very different which kind of confuses me as to what the filmmaker was going after. I am not very good at criticizing documentary type stuff unfortunately, but it seems like a good effort. Sorry I couldn't give any... read

Well Done

A review of Gazillion

by bryannest on 12/19/2005

I wasn't a huge fan of the story but it was well done. Everything was good. The editing, acting, sound design, direction. I loved the whole look of the film. I could see something like this play at a film festival. The story just never really drew me. However, I could see how someone would like it. I probably would have like a bit more of narrative. It felt like style... read

Nice work

A review of Hoses in Space

by bryannest on 12/06/2005

I actually really liked it despite the set design. The crappy set almost added to the humor. The actor is fantastic. It is funny because it was silly but the filmmakers took it seriously. The creator is obviously a fan of family guy. I think it was really well thought out, acted, and written. This is one of the better shorts I have seen on triggerstreet because it has... read

Review for 4EP

A review of 4 Easy Payments

by bryannest on 12/05/2005

This played more like a bad saturday night live skit then an actual movie. It is clear that the makers are very skilled with post production programs and they are good at previsualization. However it is hard to get drawn into a movie that doesn't really have a story. This is where the movie drops the ball. I actually lost interest in the first minute or so but stuck through... read

Good

A review of Monad

by bryannest on 07/28/2005

This is one of the best films I have seen on Triggerstreet. The story is entertaining and suspenseful. The characters are good. The lighting and shots are great. The plot is pretty good if nothing more than for suspense. The dialogue is also appropriate and well thought out. I was glad I was able to watch this film. I don't think it brought a greater meaning to my life,... read

Nice shots

A review of Life less

by bryannest on 07/28/2005

I couldn't hear any of the audio really. So, if there was a deeper meaning, than I didn't get it. The shots were really well done and the lighting was good. Almost looked like 16mm. It could have been longer too. It is hard to review movies like this that have no plot or story line. However, I didn't hate it. Nice work.
