A review of Status Quo

by eXWorld on 12/16/2002

I enjoyed that. Very good use of simple narration, interesting editing that turns simple footage into something meaningful when mixed with the message. I thought the context of the narration/monologue was very well thought out and the fact that the audio had that 'live' sound to it, rather than a crisp studio recording, made it that much more interesting to listen to.

Very enjoyable

A review of The Return

by eXWorld on 12/12/2002

Well I have to say I enjoyed that! Especially with the recent popularity of things like the X-Files and Sci Fi's 'Taken' series, this film is timely and entertaining. I really liked the overall mood of the story, the transition sequences, the camera work and the editing. If there was anything weak about the film, it was probably the acting. But otherwise a great film.

That was really funny!

Wow that made me laugh! Ok, you have to watch this but you have to get past the opening sequence. In the beginning it is rather dry and slow, and not funny. The production values and acting are so so, BUT, stay with it and once the dream enters the household, the movie gets better and better! In a way you see it all coming, but these guys do a really great job in the second... read

Great example of continuity

A review of Desperation

by eXWorld on 12/03/2002

This piece was a pleasant surprise for me. I thought it did a great job using the '24' tv series type of style and editing to show a nice even paced continuity in the chase. The music was also effective and appropriate for what they were trying to achieve in terms of momentum.

The big experiment

A review of The Big Picture

Good sample of work that goes through the typical drama techniques of script, camera work and music. Of course, the movie does not take itself too seriously, but the production work is very good and it is an entertaining small piece. Acting was also very good.

Interesting Vision

A review of In Absentia

by eXWorld on 11/30/2002

Overall I enjoyed this piece very much, with the exception of the acting. The beginning dragged a bit relying mostly on the reverse playback, which was visually interesting, but not for that long a period. The rest of this piece, especially the fast paced mid-section was very moving, music had a lot to do with that as well.

slow but well made

A review of KAT

by eXWorld on 11/27/2002

Nice looking film, excellent camera work. The lighting was a little dark at times, but still good overall. The only low point of this film is that moves really slow and although the story is interesting, there is just not enough movement, even during the action scenes, which seem muted. The ending was not very satisfying after waiting a long 8 minutes. But in saying all... read

Funny!

A review of Welcome to the Internet Helpdesk

by eXWorld on 11/26/2002

Man I needed this, this morning. What a good laugh! I've done this job before and this movie couldn't be more right on the money! This movie will teach anybody not to buy a PC. The lead character was well done, very good at switching between disgruntled employee and the polite support rep. Moral of the story, buy a Mac!

Now this is actually funny, in its own way

A review of Ordering Cars

You know, so many movies in this festival claim to be funny, but very few are. This one actually made me laugh, imagine that! Anyway, this is great little movie, awesome opening credits (maybe a bit too many credits), great production values, great acting, and a bizarre script that makes no sense, but funny none the less. Love the ending!

Not interested in Feingold

A review of Goodbye, Mr. Feingold

by eXWorld on 11/24/2002

I don't know, I don't how some of these movies are making the top 10. The first half of this movie is dead boring. It doesn't start get interesting until the girl tells her version of the story. Lighting and sound are poorly done, but the camera work and the editing were pretty good. The script itself is not bad, but the acting pulls the movie down. Sorry, but I guess I... read
