A review of Perception

by jercasper on 04/09/2007

great film darin, any film that can tell a story without the use of dialogue earns points in my book. i would have covered the "fork in the road" scene with fewer shots and cuts... the pace seemed a little quick there... felt like a few shots needed to be consolidated or something. the $100 bill made it for me... had it not been for the money, it would have been a pretty... read

A review of 7 Minutes in Hell

by jercasper on 12/05/2005

the audio compression was pretty bad, so understanding what was being said was difficult. There was so much missing from this film... Like who is the killer and why did he target this unsuspecting couple? Without that information, the audience has no reason to care at all. Also, I thought the choice to "show" the killer was a poor choice. If the killer has to be shown,... read

A review of Hush Little Baby

by jercasper on 05/06/2005

i enjoyed the film, it was well thought out, and it seems like the cast and crew had fun making it. the sound really made this film work... originally i thought this was just a "the ring" rip-off until i read the production notes... hats off to Joey Evans for including his daughter so closely in the process... Audrey did fantastic... it's obvious that she felt comfortable... read

just quirky enough

A review of Rogue and the StrawMan

by jercasper on 05/06/2005

"folk art" is a great description of this art form. i enjoyed the short. i definitely wanted to know more about the characters and the story... didn't know who or what the strawman was... would like to have seen his identity revealed in the end... the short knew its beats and cadences and flowed well. all in all, this was an ejoyable watch, not to be taken too seriously... read

A review of MICROFILM

by jercasper on 05/05/2005

This piece had a good feel and mood to it, but overall, i got lost in the story. Kudos to the director on his fist attempt at shooting a narrative... I didn't care for some of the camera angles - there were a few that were forced and detracted from the narrative. I never figured out how the microfilm story and the x-boyfriend story were connected. This piece felt like two... read

A review of She's Leaving Home

by jercasper on 04/01/2005

there wasn't much of a story here, but i thought the piece was a great mood piece... we've all wanted to just get in a car, drive to... well... nowhere... and just soak it all up... the music was a great choice and all in all i found myself not anticipating the story as much as i was just enjoying Raether's jaunt to nowhere... the theme is broad, therefore, some of the closeups... read

A review of The Coup De Grace

by jercasper on 02/25/2005

i've had this film sitting in my review box for quite sometime... i'm sorry i put it off... this was a great film... it moved a little slowly for my taste... there were definitely some moments that could have been tightened... most of the effects were great... except for the "crows." that one effect really removed me from the show... the "film processing" looks fantastic..... read

A review of Young Driver

by jercasper on 01/26/2005

all in all this was a good film. i liked the "documetnary" style of shooting.... it was motivated and worked well... car accidents are difficiult to do on a shoe string budget.... i would like to have seen the camera "roll" inside the car... that could have added a bit more production value with no more cost, but for the most part, the wreck was effective... i'm always leery... read

A review of Sonnet

by jercasper on 01/26/2005

the concept of this film wasn't very original, but it's theme was appropriate and one to which many people can relate... most of the film seemed like a "love letter" to WES ANDERSON... anderson's style is his own... it didn't seem motivated here... there were some beautiful shots and for the most part i liked the music... i just would like to have seen a bit more in terms... read

A review of Haven

by jercasper on 01/17/2005

the film no doubt was shot on some great locations and the costumes (though goofy looking by today's standards) were apparently authentic... however, i just didn't get the punch... we were lead to believe that the broth was made from the meat of one of the convicts, but in the end we discover that isn't so... so when the two convicts are enjoying broth at the end of the film..... read
