A review of Stinking Cigar

by grifter110 on 01/11/2005

What avery nice subtle piece. In todays mtv world its good to see a slowly paced and well thought out film. There was no hurry to this film and no rush. Even at this pace the film held my attention. The story was very poetic and quite moving. I liked the sort of ambiguous ending; where is she going to go, where is she going to end up? The visuals were very well done and obviously... read

A review of Sleep of Reason, The

by grifter110 on 12/22/2004

Okay, no doubt about it, I really liked the visuals and the effects in this piece. I see from your notes that it was originally intended as an experiment to see if certain effects worked and let me tell you, they do. I have to say that I didnt get the story in this film at all. It shows that its an experiment made into a film. Perhaps the story was in the writing which i couldnt... read

looks good.......

A review of Untitled

by grifter110 on 12/12/2004

I'm afraid I just didn't get this one guys. The story just did not deliver. Yep, it all looks great but the writing wasn't up to it. How did the guy get into the story? Who was the helper? Was he writing the story? What was that twist at the end? Even at this length the questions weren't answered and I was left rather confused by it all. The idea of objects as words looked... read

A review of Psalm 51

The experimental side of film isnt usually my sort of thing but I ws pleasantly surprised. The cinematography looks really nice especially the black and white exterior shots. The soundtrack definately got my feet tapping andd was very catchy and snappy. I liked the way the editing mixed well with the visuals and when brung together with the soundtrack made a very interetign... read

A review of Fluffy

by grifter110 on 12/12/2004

From the moment this short starts it's obvious that it is of quite a high standard. It looks very professional. The camera work is slickly done and the editing is on the ball. The thing that tht stands out in this piece s the comic acting from the lead. He definately shines out among all the others. The writing and direction is good with some great comedy timing. The film gos... read

A review of Profiles of Personal Courage

by grifter110 on 12/05/2004

This is such a good film. The only one here on triggerstreet Ive actually gone back and watched twice! It made me laugh out loud and made me remember that film is meant to be fun. Yeah, theres a place for deep and meaningful of course, but there's also a place for stapeling somebodys hand to a desk a having a good laugh about it. The acting was perfect especially Charlie who... read

A review of The Familiar Face (original version)

by grifter110 on 12/05/2004

I see in the production you notes you apologise for the quality, but you have no need to its fine, alot better than some on here. On that note the cinematography on this short is fantastic! really shows that you dont need film at all. The opening shot and titles are going to stick in my mind for quite a while. The shots all the way through were of a high standard and i liked... read

its the voices i tell you....

A review of Soul Control

by grifter110 on 12/05/2004

Cool short. And very short at that. Proves the point that you can make a good film in a short amount of time. Good idea that has been executed well. Could have done with a bit more of an atmosphere in the studio location though. Imagine what could have been done if you doubled that 12 quid! Lol! 12 quid is pretty impressive though. All the acting was fine and i really liked... read

A review of Goldfish Blues

by grifter110 on 12/05/2004

An interesting little short piece of animation. Interesting in that it has some very surealist moments. It would have been nice to have a little bit more information in the production notes as to how this was made and by who. It has a bit of the tom and jerry about it in that the bizarre turns are sort of from a childs point. By that I mean that anything seems possible in this... read

A review of KAT

by grifter110 on 12/05/2004

the first thing that is apparent is that this is a very slick film. All the film tricks are here and some of the shots are very well done. Its definatley a stylish piece but as to whether its style over substance im undecided. buts its just so well done. I thought it looked good and once i saw it was shot on 35mm i wasnt surprised. Although i have seen films on here on dv that... read
