Unbelievable!

A review of The Return

by flootje on 01/31/2003

It's really unbelievable that anyone on this site has the guts to even consider rating this film 'consider'! This is way above anything else on the site I've seen. Looks flawless and professional, superb acting, beautiful camera and editing. And it's scary. It has the quality of an X-File episode. (meant as a compliment) The only thing here really worth being shot on 16mm film... read

Didn't interest me

A review of Sleep

by flootje on 01/28/2003

Although this film was made with a lot of people, shot on film (which looked good, by the way), it dragged on a bit. I couldn't be moved by the story. Why the introduction of the friends when it was about his relationship with his parents? Didn't get the effect that was intended. Acting was goog though. Same people could make better movie.

Parodies are tricky

A review of Folk Cribs

by flootje on 01/26/2003

When you make a parody of something make sure you do it very well. The concept in itself is not original by defenition so make it work by HOW you do it! In this case, as in a lot of cases, it doesn't quite work. It's a little too long, edited too slow. (Especially when you consider it's MTV you're making fun off!!!) Although there were some relatively funny "scenes", altogether... read

Too easy

A review of Director's Chair

by flootje on 01/26/2003

Maybe this interview could be funny when you're an insider and know the guy on camera. The problem is that the story is not at all funny. And ofcourse the fact that the sound is bad and I can't see what's so "charismatic" about this guy doesn't help. The main problem is that it has nothing to do with filmmaking. It's just someone in a chair being taped with a videocamera. Why... read

The addict does the work...

A review of Where there's a will, there's a way........

by flootje on 01/24/2003

In a way this footage is moving and sad. But that's because of the reality of it and the addict talking to the camera. You just can't film a guy like this, put irritating music behind it, film badly and then expect people to like it. That would be a bit easy and you have nothing to tell so it get's boring.

Could have been 5 minutes

A review of Inventing: Music

by flootje on 01/24/2003

The concept for this film is okay, but more could have been done with it. Especially the editing is very slow. In half the running time you could tell the same story better. At first it's unclear that the inserts are the situation the lead character is talking about. The lead actor plays his part well, but the film never really get's funny.

Very scary

A review of Jemima: Dating Is Murder

by flootje on 01/24/2003

This film gives me a very strange feeling. With the first scene you get sucked into the story. Very well acted by the girl. Some nice shots in the bathroom. The editing is solid and consistent. The ending could have been more of a climax. Overall it's very scary.
