A review of Our Lives Were Saved

by Carrot Kid on 03/08/2011

Of all your films, Elmer, this one caught me by surprise but was a delightful change from your usual format. When I first saw the archival footage playing at the beginning I was waiting for the poetry to kick in. But it didn't. Instead we get a short interview of an American WWII veteran who fought the Japanese. Although the interview was short it was clear and direct. We get... read

Like Bloody Lips, Indeed!

A review of Like Bloody Lips

by Carrot Kid on 03/08/2011

Strange... I could have sworn I reviewed this film already. But either way, it's worth reviewing again! As I find with all of Elmer's films, once I start watching I can't stop until it's over. This film really makes you stop and think about our mortality and of the fine line between life and death. That, once you are injured and survival mode kicks in, everything else going... read

F*#% GOD!

A review of Off the Cliff

by Carrot Kid on 03/06/2011

This is one of those films that you just don't want to end because of the way it sucks you and holds your interest all the way to the end. It's funny, sad, sympathetic, and energetic all at the same time! It's words have meaning and it's human-side is something that many of us can relate. Elmer, you are a master at showing us a part of ourselves that we never think about... read

TV Time!

A review of Peep Show

by Carrot Kid on 04/08/2010

This is definitely one of the more experimental docs I've seen in a long time. But I like experimental so that's a good thing. Although there is not a large amount of subject matter contained in this film, I still found it to be creatively executed, visually stimulating, and somewhat thought provoking. Good work.

Hmmmm, Let's See

A review of The Goat 3

by Carrot Kid on 04/08/2010

Hmmmm, let see... This film contains almost all of the biggest no no's in filmmaking: poor audio, shaky camera, actors looking into the camera, actors talking over each other, bad lighting... I could go on but you get the point. However, despite all of it's technical flaws, this film did manage to retain my interest throughout. I didn't care much for the abrupt ending, but... read

Pretty cool!

A review of Rigor Mortis

by Carrot Kid on 02/09/2010

Right on, I thought this was great - very creative and interesting throughout. The shots were well filmed and the editing was perfect. Even the sound was good. The lighting was a bit dark in some of the shots but I'm just nitpicking. Overall this was a fun short to watch that was well shot and had some great makeup and effects. It has my vote for sure. Looking forward to... read

Good Creativity, Low Production Quality

A review of The Stopover

by Carrot Kid on 02/09/2010

From what I could tell the story seemed half decent. However, the film's production level is what hurts the most. The sound could used some improving - sound FX too loud, dialogue too soft making it hard to hear what the characters are saying. But the film did have some decent shots in it and the creativity is definitely there. Keep it up - I bet your next film will be much... read

Slow Paced But Tolerable.

A review of VictorFiction

by Carrot Kid on 02/07/2010

Not a bad film overall. I found it to be very slow paced yet somehow it managed to retain my interest throughout the duration of the film. I didn't understand why it was mentioned in the beginning that he was the last man on the planet... clearly there were other people (perhaps I misunderstood). Also, I didn't understand how this could be considered a western. But averall,... read

Kill Jill

A review of The Assassin Project

by Carrot Kid on 12/17/2008

Well, if you made this film prior to the release of Kill Bill I'd say you could slap a really good lawsuit on Tarintino - sorry, but this film has just way too much 'Kill Bill' in it for it not to be mentioned'. On the up side though, I thought the production value was quite high (especially for a low budget short). The lighting was great, the lead actress was great, and the... read

In The Door

A review of Foot in the Door

by Carrot Kid on 12/15/2008

Not a bad film but also not a great one either. The length for this film is much too long - I think it could easily be trimmed down to about 5 or 6 mins and be an even more effective film (it has too many pauses and hangs in places). I thought the actor was pretty good and the music seemed appropriate. Also, a few parts I did find a bit amusing. There were parts that I didn't... read
