A review of Cubo

by janegordon on 09/05/2011

This film is perhaps the best short I've seen in months. I love everything about it, and that's rare! First, the film itself is beautiful - how it plays with light and shadow, adding to the archetypal images. The unspoken ideas of good - evil, may be ancient, but still work in the psyche of all, and is done in a visually stunning way in this film. I will certainly watch... read

typical poetry

A review of Life = Death = Life

by janegordon on 09/05/2011

I liked the concept, but= Life=Death=Life is a typical poem, one mans view on death, with nothing of real substance, just eludes to some depth when speaking of life's blemishes. He speaks with no real feeling, like a robot telling us about his philosophy on life. I think its best shown and not spoken, that seems to be the problem with many poets who want to show their craft... read

It meets Nightmare on elm street?

A review of Prodigal

by janegordon on 08/04/2011

While this script was formatted nicely, the characters were dull and I could not find myself liking any of them, which is necessary if you want your film made. The story line is too similar to Nightmare on Elm Street and It to be original. I was particularly bothered by the stereotypical way the character Bartholmew speaks. The dull dialog and the anger in all the characters,... read

A review of (You'll figure it out)

by janegordon on 10/21/2010

I have been away from triggerstreet for a long time and having a day of boredom I logged on and found a GEM of an artist, Elmer Lang. I am now attempting to go through all of your submissions as your films brighten this dismal day. LOVED Dead Loomis, can't wait to see more, but had write now, while the feeling is here. This film, You'll Figure It Out, made me laugh, think,... read

A review of Comet (v2)

by janegordon on 10/21/2010

I liked the filming, acting, script of this short. It made a good connection with poetry and simple science an amusing and interesting topic. The mix of film and animation always is a hit with me and is done well here. I would like to see more from elmerlang. I hope he has some more philosophical/ scientific/ poetic material.

re-visit and maybe

A review of The Visiting

by janegordon on 03/04/2007

This short has great camera angles, adding some suspense, but not enough. The build up was too long with no pay off. I did like the superimposed B&W of the ghost, and the special effects. Reading the email was a little dizzying, but this film has some possibilities with some better editing and writing.

no cocolate-- chips.

A review of Sometimes in Winter

by janegordon on 03/04/2007

This short is probably the strangest film I've seen so far! Weather thats good or bad I can't say, but the cinematography is great, I liked the reverse filming of the waves, maybe symbolizing turning back the time. The story was severly lacking in structure. Nothing seemed to fit, no explanation for the argument, and why chocolate was so important to Maurice. I would have to... read

love it

A review of The Passenger

by janegordon on 12/31/2006

This is the best short I've seen in a very long time. The cinematography, music, acting sets, scenes were prime. I loved everything about this film. With almost no dialog you have told the story of a broken man, with every reason to kill, resolve his problems. It ran a little slow at times, but well worth it. I only wish that we were shown more of exactly what happened to his... read

good concept, but..

A review of Holier-Than-Thou

by janegordon on 12/31/2006

I really liked the originality of this idea, unfortunately the acting, sound, lighting, and most of all the dialog were very poor. This film could have been really dark and deep. The set up was too long and the action was too short. Perhaps if the sexual games scenes, with more tension, were played out better and the dialog finely tuned it could be great.

what?

A review of XPLOIT

by janegordon on 12/31/2006

Sorry this film has no place to go. I admire the way the graphics and film are put together, but without a story, or some kind of semblance of a plot there is just confusion. Who is this guy? A mental patient, if so you should let the audience know that. Why can't the supposed theif just steal the whole box; that would be easily done. There are many holes in this film, but... read
