A review of Pawned

by fuller on 02/18/2007

This film draws on what is very typical scenario for short films--an act of violence--concentrating on the "cool factor" of the violence--yet without giving us any reason to care about the characters--and no story to speak of. Cut this film in half--get rid of the unecessary bullet time--and ask yourself what you are trying to show us. If this is a film about a man witnessing... read

story element

A review of Limb From Limb (v1)

by fuller on 10/18/2004

This film was very well shot with good attention to detail. The first amputee was by far the best actor, the other two weren't convincing enough, they weren't natural. You could tell they were trying to act the character rather than just becoming the character. The special effects were impressive. The sound was half and half. I could hear changes in room tone that could... read

A review of Happy Birthday

by fuller on 09/08/2004

This movie was odd. I just reviewed a film that was the same length and had a similar sequence of events. That film didn't work, this one did. It was witty and beautifully shot, and so strange that I liked it. Good job, good acting, but dad you're a little young.

conflict?

A review of Vigliacco

by fuller on 09/08/2004

Beautifully shot, nice pacing, but no story. There was no conflict here. I didn't know who this guy was, and didn't really care that he was shooting himself. Right from the beginning I knew this character was in despair and going to shoot himself which I shouldn't know from the first shot. You obvioulsy have skills, I'd just like to see you invest in a longer project with... read

shoot out

A review of Finished

by fuller on 09/08/2004

I liked the black & white, and the soundtrack fit very well. There were some very good uses of sound, but in the parking lot for example, I felt there should have been the ambient sound of the echoes and skids. Sound is about 50% of the movie, and it would have added a lot to this film. The story is okay, good twist, but I had no real reason to care for either one of the... read

A review of Things Best Left

by fuller on 06/06/2004

The film had a strong tone and a clear style that was consistent throughout and didn't seem to breakdown. The editor did a very good job of creating chaos, but creating it intelligently---not just using random blurs and obscure shots. The suspense was also built very quickly-but in the end I feel a little cheated. The suspense was built up too strong just to have a suicide... read

A review of STOLEN

by fuller on 06/04/2004

When this movie began I immeadiately thought Snatch. It's fine to borrow, but don't borrow so closely. So from snatch it seemed to jump to resevoir dogs and finally to fight club. I've made a fair share of films with twists at the end too, but I get tired of seeing them, they become redundant. The film was very well shot and the acting was okay (the insane kid only worked... read

twist?

A review of Corner Of The Earth

by fuller on 05/25/2004

The ending didn't leave me surprised or grab me in anyway, it just deflated the film. A good twist would have been them running away only to find they had both been teleported. The additional dialogue recording was too clear and not manipulated well enough to fit the location. The acting wasn't very good, but it was an intersting idea before the ending.

cliche

A review of Infinite Infatuation

by fuller on 05/25/2004

As you've noted in your production notes, the acting was poor. There were a number of things that threw me off in this film: The acting didn't let me believe in the characters, the awkward editing was difficult to watch (ex. you'd have a scene with some longer takes and then throw in a couple quick cuts of a third party which disrupted the films flow). It's obvious that... read

quick cuts

A review of Rangeland Romances

by fuller on 03/16/2004

This movie was entertaining, fun, fast, well shot, and slick. But for me, the bottom line is you need sound. Sound is more to a movie than most would think. Someone can sit through a horribly shot video with beautiful sound, however somone cannot sit through beautiful images with horrible sound. I only wish I could of heard this film, would have been great. Really good... read
