A review of Fever Dreams

by iggywhite on 03/01/2004

I can't really comment too thoroughly on this film, because it's an incomplete edit. I appreciate the link that you provide to see the final scene, but I think it could be cut from 13 minutes to 10 minutes easily, and still have a complete story. I like a lot of the images you have here... him on the sidewalk with people walking over him, the use of the color footage for... read

Oh... I get it.

A review of Just the Job

by iggywhite on 02/25/2004

It took me two watches, because I couldn't understand Mrs. Black's voice over... "you signed a contract with your body as collatoral"... once I was able to decipher that, then I was on my way to really enjoying this twisted little short. I'm going to assume he's dead in the final shot... they took his heart. If this is in fact the case, then I think you could have gone a... read

A review of Los Unidos (The United Ones)

by iggywhite on 02/25/2004

I didn't mind this movie. The only problem, beside the subtitles being very difficult to read, is in the story... they get away with it? How is it possible? I wonder. It ends so quickly, and with a voice over... doesn't feel satisfying. Why didn't they talk about it again? Two men died, and no consequence? I feel like the violence is too easy in this film, and with something... read

A review of ESC

by iggywhite on 02/24/2004

We all know them well, and this movie simply puts them out there. What's new here? It falls short in delivering an ending... that's all it needed... who's story is it? It was going along nicely, with a set-up situation with a shopping cart to give a sort of Hitchcockian tone, and the shots and sound throughout were terrific, and then... poof... we ditch the main character... read

Murder

A review of Medeas Guilt

by iggywhite on 02/23/2004

Nice job. I think this is a very good piece of work. The acting is good (although it's difficult to keep Smokey from seeming like a victim), and technically it is well done. As for the story, I think it's very complete. I like the little moment of attraction that the Waitress has with the Male lead... gives a certain depth to character... nice touch. One thing I'm curious... read

Jack: "I'm lost."

A review of Just Desserts

by iggywhite on 02/18/2004

Me too. What am I missing? Let me first say that the sound, editing, and camera were all very competant. Clean, crisp, and illuminating to the action. But, I was with you up until what seems to be the set up line... "Guns are too slow. For what I do, you don't need to shoot." So, I'm waiting for the reveal... time's running out... then he goes through a men's room door... read

Geeked

A review of Belvis' Chikn' Ranch

by iggywhite on 02/18/2004

I just feel bad for the chickens. What can you say about this piece? It's fun to watch, and the first half is really tight, but then some of the editing loses it's punch with a few glitches in the sound or the editing. But it's certainly fun, and I'm not sure that it demands much of the audience, but there's nothing wrong with that from time to time.

Papa

A review of There Is Treasures Everywhere

by iggywhite on 02/17/2004

I enjoyed this simple, quiet movie. I enjoyed the drawings and how they reflect the boy's inner idea of the reality of his father's life. It's a nice concept. I also appreciated the documentary nature of this film, and the appropriate shots to accompany that style. I wasn't always clear what the boy was saying. I guess it's just a simple language barrier thing, but there... read

Where's the end?

A review of Strike 3 Dreaming

by iggywhite on 02/16/2004

I kind of like this film, but I wonder where the ending is. The story has all the elements, but it feels unfinished... or, if this is a re-edit, I wonder what was cut out. All of the questions that are set up nicely, don't get answered, and I think with this kind of coming of age type film, they need to. What happens to him and his girlfriend? What happens to his friendship?... read

What's the hurry?

A review of The Chase

by iggywhite on 02/15/2004

In the synopsis, the filmmaker is adamant that this is not a music video... which begs two questions... is a music video a bad thing? And secondly, how is this not a music video? This seems to me to be a poetic music video... the images do more to illuminate the soundtrack than the other way around. There's no narrative or even story telling quality to the piece, and I don't... read
