Hyperjive

I liked this one. The acting was pretty good and it can be attributed to the good script they were working with. The thing that endeared me to it was the fact that the conversation the characters had could have been had anywhere, at any point in time. In this case, they are somewhere, with a gun, watching something...something we never find out the answer to. The only thing... read

A review of Rap for the Impaired

by Hyperjive on 04/14/2007

This was one of the funniest short films I've seen in a long time. It was completely irreverent and made not one bit of sense...all in a good way, too. The "white guy rapping" routine has become seriously hackneyed over the past decade or two but this time it was actually funny. Probably because the creators knew how cliched and stupid it had become thus exploiting it to its... read

Seriously?

A review of The Other Side of Living

by Hyperjive on 04/14/2007

If I thought this was actually a satire or a parody of the genre, I would gladly write the great review it would deserve. But it's neither so I'll have to review it as such. "The Other Side of Living" is one of the cheesiest short films I've ever seen. There I said it. It is completely unbelievable, awkward, and socially unaware. It's the perfect example of film that has... read

Lucky Shoes review

A review of Lucky Shoes

by Hyperjive on 04/12/2007

I found this to be a well-assembled short film with a few flaws. It was simple and charming throughout. The problem was the length. What started as a cool short eventually began to drag on until it reached the point when I realized something: just because a film festival has a three-minute limit, it doesn't mean you have to use all three minutes. In my opinion, "Lucky Shoes"... read

Drunk Dad Review

A review of My Drunken Dad: Fast Food Nation - McDonalds is Good

by Hyperjive on 04/03/2007

This was an entertaining short film. I even ventured to the website to check out the other ones. It's a good schtick you guys got, and it's definitely worth sticking with. As far as "Fast Food" goes... There are a few things that could use improving. First of all, the dad never really seems drunk. His rants are really funny but the way he delivers his lines lessens the impact... read

Sanctuary review

A review of Sanctuary

by Hyperjive on 03/31/2007

First off this was a very competent and well-assembled film. The camerawork was very well done and the editing was just right. The acting was a little corny but still pretty good for a short film. The script was very solid and the dialogue flowed nicely. The problems I had with it probably have more to do with my personal taste in films than anything else. This was too cheesy... read

Incumbent review

A review of The Incumbent

by Hyperjive on 03/28/2007

With the exception of a few things, The Incumbent was a good, solid short. The story and situation was executed just right. However, the acting left quite a bit to be desired. "Jimmy" was good, but everyone else came across way too amateur-ish. In fact, it might not be the acting...I now realize it was the editing. This film needs to be tightened up. Nine minutes is way too... read

Good idea goes on too long

A review of Magic of Music

by Hyperjive on 03/27/2007

The editing at the beginning is rough to say the least. However, once the crux of the story becomes apparent, the editing problems matter not. This was a good, probably great idea, but I think it could have been better. Had the character done more than just place things on the book it would have been classic. It just became too repetitive after a while. My suggestion would... read

Cliche: The Movie

A review of Armistice

by Hyperjive on 03/27/2007

Yes, this was very cliched. HOWEVER, that doesn't mean it wasn't good. In fact, I thought it was fantastic. One of the best "cliched" movies I've seen on the site. The acting was, dare I say it, phenomenal. The black thief being the best of the bunch. The action and camerawork was handled with near-professionalism and it kept the story moving nicely. One complaint I have... read

Takeout review

A review of TAKEOUT

by Hyperjive on 03/27/2007

"Takeout" is an action movie without the action. Perfect, and completely entertaining in my opinion. The director managed to make a film full of gung-ho bravado but never let it loose. Instead, it focuses on what seems like the down-time between action scenes. The humor wasn't jokey, which is a good thing. It was a good call on the director's part to do it this way. My favorite... read
