Perfect Circle

A review of The Wait

by gorilla division on 12/27/2006

Or letting go... This is an excellent little film. They always taught me in in school to never call a short film a little film... but in no way am I meaning it disrespectfully. I loved it. The circularity of it all, how old leaves way to the new. How black and white establish the contrasts, how the music evens everything out, giving the whole live and death, and passing over,... read

Time and Space

A review of DEAR BELOVED...

by gorilla division on 12/22/2006

Though the film was very nicely shot, lit and edited, I felt it being pretty slow in pace. The one thing that put me out of the film where the two locations. One (hers) didn´t breathe second world war at all for me... It felt to new, to modern. The second... supposed to be in Europe, is way too american... We don´t have that type of construction here in Europe... it´s very... read

Paradox

A review of The Music Box

by gorilla division on 12/22/2006

Real or not. Dream? Suddenly things that seem to come from dreamland, leave something behind. A trip to somewhere special, relaxing... entertaining. That´s what this film is. I love the atmosphere it creates at the beggining. The use of one location, so brilliantly shot. Nice framing, nice composition. I´ve always liked silent films, relying on music to tell the story, set... read

DV magic

A review of The Riddle

by gorilla division on 12/19/2006

Who said DV don´t look good... All one has to learn is to use the tools, know their limits and adapt yourself to them, learn and improve... This short looks amazingly good. Nice depth of field, nice focus racks, nice lighting. It´s the kind of film I like... A little talkie maybe... .but fine. The twist and payoff at the end are well resolved, and nicely set in time. Rythm... read

A review of Android 207

by gorilla division on 12/19/2006

Android 207 is 9 minutes long but feels shorter. That means only one thing. It flows. I love animation... Love science fiction. Love all to do with Calacas and Calaveras, love simplicity. Simplicity. That´s what makes this short film great. Itwas probably hard work in the making. Long hours of work, but in the end the result is there for all to see... The message comes through... read

Let´s´twist the twist

A review of Sweet Revenge

by gorilla division on 12/19/2006

Though it is a talkie, and I am usually not to fond of extensive dialogue the film flows easily. Both characters play their parts well, Matt and Sweet. How the hands are played. First Matt Down, Sweet Up, then the dealers fall, and the final rise again... (how does he rise though after being under the influence of those drugs?) It´s nicely shot, I would have loved some more... read

Nice little Flick

A review of Triple Date

by gorilla division on 11/18/2006

I just had fun with this short. It´s very simple, very nicely shot, very down to business... Though the characters might be a bit trait, and the dialogue comes through at times a little unnatural, I love the way it´s set up, a simple premise, a simple story, a nice funny twist at the end. It´s nicely shot, well edited, nicely effected (meaning the splits in the shots can´t... read

Asleep in the box

A review of Asleep in the Box

by gorilla division on 11/10/2006

A great use of audio, color and mood in the opening and ending secuence. Trapped in a dream. I´ve seen the film twice, and get just half of it. I thought at first it was my mood, or my predisposition, but the film came through the same. It´s really nicely shot, The actress is great, though I feel there´s a connection missing, maybe the police officer lacks some consistency... read

Lets talk

A review of Let's Talk About Sex

by gorilla division on 11/09/2006

Great little film. Great use of a running location and lights. technically the film is really good. Shot on DV, it proves that practical light, if used well and wisely, can yield a great result. The montage is great. Love the looping and splitting, it visualizes really well and compliments even better the dialogue... sadly the sound doesn´t come through as good as it should,... read
